Childhood Illness

When Tiffany was three, the pedodontist recommended and placed amalgam fillings and stainless steel crowns. Immediately following the procedure, this previously healthy, active toddler fell ill and had a dramatic increase in her white cell count. They suspected leukemia and placed her in the care of an oncologist. She had not gained a pound in a full year, suffered from recurrent fevers, low energy and a diminished immune system. When she came to me, I recommended that she be tested immunologically for dental materials, and she was found to be reactive to mercury and nickel. We removed all the metals in her mouth and she is now fine. The so called “leukemia” was simply a normal physical reaction to being poisoned by metals that the small child’s system simply could not handle. It was a tragedy that should never have begun.

Holistic Dentistry for Childhood Illness: Supporting Young Patients’ Health

At Breiner Whole-Body Health Center, we understand that a child’s oral health can impact their overall development and wellness. Many childhood illnesses and health issues are linked to dental health, and our holistic dentistry approach considers these connections to support healthier, happier kids. From allergies and respiratory issues to immune system support, our goal is to foster wellness by addressing oral health early on.

The Oral Health and Childhood Illness Connection

Research has shown that issues like allergies, asthma, and frequent infections can often be linked to dental health. Poor oral hygiene, exposure to toxins, and untreated dental issues can all contribute to a child’s susceptibility to illness. At Breiner Whole-Body Health Center, our holistic approach aims to reduce these risk factors, helping children grow up with fewer health challenges.

Our team takes a holistic approach to pediatric dental care, which includes:

• Non-Toxic Dental Materials: We use only biocompatible, non-toxic materials to minimize a child’s exposure to potential toxins.
• Focus on Preventative Care: Regular check-ups and cleanings prevent issues like cavities and infections, reducing the risk of systemic health problems.
• Educational Support for Families: We work with parents to encourage healthy oral care routines that help prevent illness and support overall well-being.
