Vithus Hartz is a holistic dentist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. He will be discussing the dangers of using toxic substances in the mouth in conventional dentistry.
Mercury, which is used in amalgam fillings, is the third most toxic element to man, while fluoride, which is put into toothpaste and the water supply of certain countries, is almost as poisonous as arsenic. Root canals can also create toxins, which if inhaled is equivalent to breathing in mustard gas.
The lecture will include alternative solutions for modern dentistry based on the use of non-toxic dental materials and holistic procedures. Holistic dentistry looks at the person as a whole, rather than just a set of teeth and jaws. The health of the mouth and the health of the body cannot just be separated and the person as a whole is taken into consideration.
After all, dentistry is not just about teeth, it is about people. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions after the lecture.
