The Hidden Dangers of Cavitations in Dental Surgery

Dr. Porter stresses using advanced surgical methods and careful post-surgical care to avoid health threats, often neglected in traditional dental practices. Cavitations from tooth extractions can create risks of severe systemic issues, including autoimmune and neurological disorders.

Rethinking Common Surgical Practices

Dr. Porter challenges standard dental surgeries like root canal therapy and premolar extractions because of the long-term negative health impacts they can cause. He calls for a shift towards more conservative, health-centric surgical methods that preserve natural bodily functions and prevent future health complications.
