Nutrition and Degenerative Dental Disease

Tooth Decay and Gum Disease are commonly thought of as caused by plaque, or growths of bacteria on the teeth. Oral hygiene is stressed for prevention, and that’s good. Fluoride is used to harden enamel and make it more resistant to decay.

There are reports that link fluoride use to cancer and other degenerative diseases.

"I can’t thank Dr. Lerner and his staff enough, notably his assistant Nicole for expertly handling my mercury filling removals.I had it done in 2 phases and they took very good care of me on both occasions. The whole office is very pleasant, so professional and I look forward to my visits. On this most recent cleaning appointment, Linda did my cleaning. She was gentle and thorough. Highly recommend."

- Vanessa R.

"Excellent experience during my initial consultation. The most complete examination I have ever had by a dentist, including full body muscle testing. This testing uncovered major alignment issues with my jaw which has been causing a lifetime of misalignment throughout the rest of my body. Dr. Lerner and his staff are outside the box thinkers and I am very happy I have found them."

- Greg R.
