Where to find good dentist?

[Guest guest]

Liz -

You are exactly right - not all bio-dentists are the same. Calling

themselves this & having some of the training doesn't mean they

support removal of root canal or even testing of good dental materials

to use in the mouth - they should be especially conscious of this in

immune-compromised individuals.

I don't know this doctor personally, but I know " of him " through my

own research. Contact him directly via email - many of these folks

will write you back directly. He's in Washington, DC. Google his name

for more information as well. His name is Dr. Mark McClure:

It is true that not all biological dentist know much about root

canal. Recently I had visited one and he told me I have 2 canals

which should be re-done bc they are short.But he didn't say it should

be removed at all. I had asked him about one tooth with crown which

has deep caries if it could be the reason for my infections. He

didn't say anything about that but only advised to change the crown

bc it didn't fit.

He also told me to visit another doctor who can identify safe metals

for me bc he don't do that himself. My new physician is alternative

doc and he promised to find out the best metal I need. He was agreed

that root canal is dangerous.I personally feel that my health became

weak after placement of canals.

I am afraid if I will remove root canals from 2 teeth under bridge I

will have to put new one and it is too expensive for me now. On the

other side I have that crown which should be removed and it has

nickel among many other metals.

I know some people go abroad to do dental work but I am not sure it

will be done properly and if they have biological dentists. If

somebody knows where it could be done please, advice. My insurance

will cover part of cost from foreign dentist too.I live in Washington

DC area and probably you can recommend somebody here.

Thank you very much for responce. It is interesting that I had

visited doctor in this location too bc he is in network provider for

my insurance. It seems that doctors could be different in the same

office. Probably i will visit this doctor next time, at least for

consultation.

Hi Liz -

I can't speak for this office, but I've been in alternative physician

offices where 2 docs share a practice and think quite differently. You

may be able to save some $$$ for consultation and just email him with

a few basic questions - save yourself some time too! I do this before

I see anyone anymore.
