Dentures become black and cracked, be careful!Doctor reveals that “Element 1” has seriously deteriorated and can cause Alzheimer’s disease

Text/UHO Youhuo Health Network

It can be said that “teeth” is the main obstacle to protect people’s health, and it is also the most used part of the body. The information revealed by the mouth is not only related to the health of the teeth, but also sleep apnea, Alzheimer’s disease, malnutrition, and appearance closely related to the oral cavity. Huang Binyang, director of Bodeng Dental Clinic, shared the methods of oral health care in the book “Doctors demand your health” to help readers build healthy body functions.

Avoidable Brain Damage: Alzheimer’s Disease
It is not too difficult for modern people to live to be 70, 80, or even 90 years old. However, it’s not enough to live old You have to live healthy and active to enjoy the longevity dividend. Many people are aware of this, so when they enter middle age, they will exercise or take health care products, hoping to age healthily and gracefully.

However, when it comes to dementia, most people can only shake their heads and sigh. Because it will not only bring great distress and inconvenience to patients or their families. Furthermore, depending on current medical technology, it is still impossible to fully control it. We all know that dementia is a disease of the brain. Affected patients will have cognitive decline, behavioral changes, emotional abnormalities and other problems.

According to the survey conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the population statistics conducted by the Ministry of the Interior in 2021, the incidence rate of dementia among the elderly over 65 years old in Taiwan is about 7%. In other words, there is one person with dementia in every 13 people.Among dementias, “degenerative dementia” is the most common, and the familiar “Alzheimer’s disease” is one of them. About 60% to 80% of dementia patients suffer from Alzheimer’s disease mutism.

Alzheimer’s disease is irreversible, prevention is the best way to deal with it
You may have Alzheimer’s patients around you, or you may have heard stories about the helplessness of the patients and their families, so I sincerely hope that similar regrets do not happen to you and your family. Unfortunately, there is currently no effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. What is even more frightening is that it is an irreversible disease, that is, once the disease occurs, all medicine can do is delay the process and improve the symptoms, but eventually it will become more and more serious. Therefore, “prevention” is one of the important countermeasures for people to face this disease.

Thanks to experts in the fields of neurology and neurology, who continue to explore the causes of Alzheimer’s disease. There are also some research results that inform us about the specific methods to reduce the likelihood of Alzheimer’s disease. For example, adopting a Mediterranean diet, exercising regularly, maintaining social relationships, and playing more brain-training puzzle games are all ways to help prevent it.

As a dentist who protects oral health, I want to discuss several risk factors that may be associated with Alzheimer’s disease from the perspective of the oral cavity, from small to large, from the aspects of filling, reconstruction, disease, and missing teeth. including silver dust in poor condition, poor quality metal dentures, periodontal disease and missing teeth.

We cannot arbitrarily say that avoiding these risk factors can completely avoid the threat of Alzheimer’s disease. However, knowing that these potential dangers exist, you should do your best to understand them and avoid risks as much as possible.

One of the risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease: silver powder in poor condition
“Dr. Huang, I heard that silver powder is not very good! Why is it bad?” “I used to use silver powder to fill my teeth! Do I have to worry about it now? Or forget it?” often patients come to deal with oral problems, I was also asked for my opinion on silver powder. They may have read relevant reports in newspapers and magazines, or they may have heard similar discussions They know that there is a school of opinion that silver powder is harmful to the human body, but another school of opinion is think that the situation is not like that. serious, so they want to hear from me to make it clear.

To put it bluntly, if it is a patient who needs dental restorations now, I would suggest ruling out the option of silver powder as much as possible.As to whether to remove the silver powder that already exists in the oral cavity, it depends on the condition of the silver powder. If the condition of the silver powder remains shiny and the edges are tightly bonded, it can be re-evaluated; but if the condition is not good, removing the silver powder is a step that must be considered seriously to remove evil. Because, as long as silver powder is in a bad state in the mouth, it is very easy for the toxic metal “mercury” to sneak into the brain.

What is silver powder?

How does silver dust in the mouth enable mercury to sneak into the brain Since it is called silver powder, isn’t it a type of “powder” powder that contains “silver” metal?
In fact, silver powder is an alloy of silver and mercury (also known as “amalgam”), which contains silver, copper, zinc, mercury and other metals, and the proportion of mercury is about half. For a long time, many dentists have used it as a filling material for tooth decay. When there is a small cavity in the tooth, but the overall structure is not damaged, the dentist will first clean the cavity area, and then fill the filling material to fill the cavity to maintain normal function the tooth.

In the early days when dental material science was not so developed, silver powder was the most commonly used prosthetic material by dentists. Many of the fifth and sixth graders, as well as older friends, have a little silver dust in their mouths. In fact, not only in Taiwan, dentists all over the world used silver powder to fill their teeth.

In retrospect, you may not be sure what material the dentist used, but if you see that the restoration on the tooth has turned black, or has mottled cracks, it is recommended that you have it checked by the dentist to see is it correct. tooth. Silver powder has changed and disconnected qualitatively.

The truth about silver dust

In the early days, it was believed that although silver powder contained about 50% mercury, the alloy filler formed by the standard filling method was stable, non-toxic, and would not affect the human body. However, with the development of medicine, we found that this cognition needed to be revised a little.

Too many clinical cases show that silver powder prosthetics are not as strong as expected. Fracture, peeling, and secondary tooth decay are often seen under the silver powder.

The crux of the problem is that it was originally “powder”. The formation of general metal materials must go through high temperature melting, then cooling and hardening and other casting processes. But the silver powder is just that the dentist fills the powdered metal after shaking and mixing into the cavity, and after pressing, let them form what is called “alloy state” themselves. If the silver powder filling step is not correct, the silver powder with a bright appearance, under the microstructure, is at best like a beautiful castle piled up by the sea sand. As long as it comes on cross friction or high temperature, it will produce mercury easily. vapor, and then penetrate the oral mucosa. , Respiratory tract, absorption by the body.

At this point, you can refer to an experiment done by the American dentist Grant Layton. Layton used fluorescent lights and screens to observe gases that were invisible to the naked eye. In the experiment, an eraser rubbed against a tooth with a silver restoration in front of a screen. Under the special light, traces of smoke could be seen coming out of the teeth. In other words, without a high temperature, simply rubbing the silver powder with an eraser will produce smoke, and this smoke is mercury vapor.

If you think about it carefully, isn’t our daily diet like repeating this experiment over and over again?If the silver powder restoration is not in good condition, but our teeth grind constantly when we eat, and we also drink hot tea, hot coffee, hot soup, etc., it is like creating a perfect environment for releasing mercury vapor in the mouth from time to time, environment.

The paper “Silver powder and Alzheimer’s disease” (Mercury and Alzheimer’s disease) by J Mutter and others also mentioned that the volatilization of mercury vapor will expose the body’s organs to mercury continuously.

Mercury gets into the brain so easily

After the mercury vapor produced by the silver powder is absorbed by the human body, it is not only very difficult to release it, but it can also be deposited in the brain.In fact, under normal circumstances, substances harmful to the human body are not so easy to enter the brain, because there is a barrier called the “blood brain barrier” (BBB) ​​between the brain and blood vessels, we can also say that it is a moat to protect the brain.

However, once mercury metal enters the human body, it has a good chance of sneaking into the brain. Because mercury metal is a foreign body to the human body, it can cause chronic inflammation in the body. Once chronically inflamed, fat cells will increase, which in turn exacerbates chronic inflammation, forming a vicious cycle. The hormones contained in fat cells have the ability to destroy the blood-brain barrier, and as a result, mercury metal has a great opportunity to sneak into the brain.

Once mercury metal enters the brain, it will cause damage to nerve cells and affect the conduction between nerve cells. However, nerve cells are different from skin cells and blood cells, and are extremely fragile and difficult to repair and regenerate.It is also mentioned in the paper “Silver Powder and Alzheimer’s Disease” that a higher concentration of mercury can be found in the brain and blood of patients with Alzheimer’s disease according to research, and compared to no mercury in the mouth. silver powder, the brains of those with silver powder can detect 2 to 10 times the amount of mercury. This number is truly alarming, and the link between silver powder and Alzheimer’s disease is hard to ignore.
