She had been seeing specialists for years. A kidney specialist, an autoimmune specialist, a cardiologist. 🌿
Nobody had ever looked in her mouth. It was her functional medicine doctor who finally connected the dots. When her heavy metal urine challenge test came back, her mercury and lead levels were completely off the chart. His immediate response was to send her to us to evaluate her metal fillings.
This is the collaboration that biological dentistry is built on. Functional medicine doctors are increasingly understanding that what is happening above the neck is directly affecting everything they are trying to address below it. And metal fillings are one of the most common upstream issues that never gets evaluated because most specialists simply do not think to look there. What makes this even more complex is that you often cannot tell from a visual exam alone whether a patient has metal present. Proper screening, including 3D imaging, is essential to see the full picture.
If you have seen multiple specialists and still do not have answers, your mouth may be part of the story nobody has read yet. 🦷
