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.

Metal Dental Implants & Health Risks

Despite widespread use, metal implants can pose significant health risks, including neurological damage from materials like titanium leaking into the brain. Dr. Porter uses ceramic implants for their safety and compatibility, minimizing risks like metal toxicity and promoting overall health.

Each technique and material is chosen not only for its effectiveness in treatment but also for its capacity to integrate seamlessly with the body’s natural processes and promote overall health.

A biologic extraction prioritizes overall health and well-being, incorporating broader health considerations into the tooth removal process. This method minimizes trauma and uses specific techniques to promote non-invasive, beneficial outcomes. Here are the key components:
    • Minimal Trauma: Preserves surrounding bone and gum tissue.
    • Use of Biocompatible Materials: Prefers materials like ceramic over metals.
    • Detoxification and Disinfection: Employs ozone therapy to cleanse the extraction site.
    • Enhancement of Healing: Utilizes Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to accelerate healing.
    • Addressing Cavitations: Ensures proper cleaning of the socket to prevent cavitations.
    • Holistic Patient Care: Integrates overall health considerations, dietary recommendations, and supplementation pre- and post-extraction.

Ozone therapy employs a powerful natural disinfectant to cleanse surgical sites, promoting healing and preventing infections.

    • Potent Disinfectant: Effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi at the treatment site.
