The relationship between dental health, posture, and overall well-being is deeper than most realize. Metal dental fillings, while effective in cavity repair, can inadvertently create microcurrents that impact your body’s systems. With today’s advancements in health and neuroscience, understanding these connections is crucial for holistic well-being. In this updated exploration, we’ll dive into the science behind metal fillings, how microcurrents influence your nervous system, and why addressing these factors can transform your health.

How Metal Fillings Create Microcurrents

How Oral Galvanism Happens

The process is straightforward:

1. Dissimilar Metals: Dental work often uses various metals like amalgam (mercury alloy) fillings and gold or stainless steel crowns.

2. Saliva as a Conductor: Saliva acts as an electrolyte, facilitating the movement of electrical charges between the metals.

3. Electrical Current: The difference in potential between the metals generates a low-level electrical current, measurable in microvolts.

Effects of Oral Galvanism

Though not everyone experiences symptoms, those who do may notice:

• Metallic taste in the mouth

• Tingling or burning sensations in the oral tissues

• Increased sensitivity to temperature or pressure

• Disruption in the nervous system, leading to headaches or jaw pain

These microcurrents can interfere with your body’s natural electrical signals, particularly within the nervous system. Over time, this may contribute to issues like TMJ dysfunction, muscle tension, and even systemic effects like chronic fatigue or brain fog.

Why It Matters

The growing awareness around oral galvanism underscores the importance of considering the materials used in dental work. Opting for biocompatible, non-metal alternatives can significantly reduce the risk of these adverse effects.
