Mercury Amalgam Tooth Fillings: FDA Changes Stance
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seems to have changed their stance on dental amalgam fillings. In a legal settlement signed last week, the FDA has changed the information on its Web site about amalgam fillings to say that they “may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetus” and that pregnant women “should not avoid seeking dental care, but should discuss options with their health practitioner.” Till now they were not so harsh on the neurotoxic effects of mercury fillings.

Going to the dentist is an activity dreaded by most; however, Fresh Start volunteer dentists and orthodontists have gained the appreciation of many children who face difficult dental conditions due to a deformity of the face or accident.
The Fresh Start dental volunteers do everything from dental health care and education to building confidence in the children to show off their beautiful smile.
Dr. Fallah and Fresh Start offer hope for San Marco twins
According to Dr. Fallah, they are two of the worst cases he’s ever seen. “I’ve seen this condition before,” he told the North County Times, “just not [this bad] in one person.”
The patients he is referring to are 16-year old twins Stephanie and Ramses Villa from San Marco, California.
Dental Implants
Dr. Fallah’s Dental Implant techniques are special because he uses three-dimensional computer imaging and modeling to precisely place dental implants so that they achieve maximum results and comfort for the patient.
Using advanced tomography (a kind of 3D x-ray) Dr. Fallah can precisely map a patient’s bone structure, and even nerves and sinuses. Computer simulation then makes it possible for Dr. Fallah to determine the optimum placement for the implants.
This technique increases the success rate and the life of the implants because of the precision of the placement of the dental implant.
Dr. Fallah is one of very few dentists in the San Diego Area, who uses a T-Scan to precisely calibrate the chewing force and the timing of force on dental implants. Natural teeth have periodontal ligaments that act as shock absorbers. When you have a mix of natural teeth and implants, traditional techniques will result in the simultaneous contact of natural teeth and implants when the patient bites down. In this process, the implants absorb the majority of the force, because natural teeth get compressed with the periodontal ligaments. With the T-Scan technology, Dr. Fallah can fine-tune the biting forces, so that the implants are loaded after the natural teeth have compressed the ligaments, which achieves the ideal loading end result for both your natural teeth, and your implants. Furthermore, Dr. Fallah uses neuromuscular bite techniques to achieve ideal initial placement of your implants, so the implants are aligned in the proper position.
Whether restoring a single tooth or performing a Full-Mouth Reconstruction, Dental Implants offer a great deal of convenience and reliability for patients with missing teeth.
