IAOMT members have also been expert witnesses before Congress, FDA, state legislatures, Health Canada, and other government bodies. We support the effort to inform consumers about health risks from amalgam mercury and water fluoridation, and we support efforts toward eliminating these risks. We have testified before regulatory agencies about the environmental effects of dental mercury in wastewater, and we support regulations to separate mercury from the waste stream of dental offices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Bio-Energetics and Dentistry - the Tooth-Body connection<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The concept of a Mind-Body connection has been all over the news lately, but have you heard about the Tooth-Body connection?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re familiar with Chinese medicine or acupuncture, then you probably know about meridians\u2026 the channels through which energy flows in the body. Each organ, gland and body structure has an associated meridian\u2026 including the teeth.<\/p>\n<p>All the body structures on an individual meridian can be affected when energy flow through that meridian is altered or blocked. Energy flow can be altered in a meridian when an organ on that meridian is diseased or infected.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does all this mean to you?<\/strong> Well, if you have a bad tooth, the energy flow through the meridian belonging to that tooth will be altered. This in turn can affect the health of all the other organs on that meridian. For example, the upper right first molar tooth is on the same meridian with the liver, kidneys, pancreas, stomach and breast. So, if this tooth has a problem, it may affect the health of your liver, kidneys, pancreas, stomach or breast as well.<\/p>\n<p>We will be happy refer you to a holistic health care provider in an effort to guide you on your journey to improved health. She works with a variety of practitioners in the greater Pittsburgh area.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Meridians, Health and the Relationship to Your Teeth<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Every organ, and every part of your body, is directly linked to a specific tooth or area of the mouth via meridians, or \u201cenergy highways.\u201d This connection is so apparent that a biological dentist can often assess your overall health and wellness simply by reviewing your dental condition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) Updates<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Check out the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesmartchoice.com\/\">www.theSMARTchoice.com<\/a>, which includes updated recommendations for the safe removal of amalgam fillings based on years of patient demand, scientific research, occupational safety requirements, and practical clinical development by dentists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The video trailer for \u201cYou Put What In My Mouth?,\u201d a feature length film about the devastating effects of dental mercury on patients, staff and the environment.
