How biocompatible materials become a cornerstone of my practice.
|
Dear Reader,
My journey towards holistic dentistry started during my 3rd year of Dental
School (1976) in Winnipeg where I developed severe reactions to
unknown allergens. Some of my reactions were severely swollen hands,
lips, eyes, accompanied by large hives, on many different parts of my
body that plagued my life for 7 years. |

Initially, the medical diagnosis was idiopathic (designating a disease having no known cause) angioneurotic (a form of localized swelling of the deeper layers of the skin and fatty tissues beneath the skin) oedema (swelling). The only treatment to stop the "idiopathic angioneurotic oedema" was cortisone/prednisone therapy.
There was no known reason or a known cure for my ailment. Biopsies were done on these giant hives, which were as large as 3-4 inches in diameter. After all of this investigation, there was no other suggested treatment other than the cortisone tablets.
When I came to Toronto in April of 1983, I heard about an alternative MD practitioner using "Environmental Medicine" to diagnose and treat people. His alternative approach to medicine changed my health and subsequently my life!
In addition to multiple food allergies, he found that I was very reactive to my mercury amalgam fillings. All of my fillings were replaced with non-mercury fillings, and I made a complete recovery from all of the "idiopathic angioneurotic oedema" episodes. Furthermore, my immune system recovered sufficiently to protect my health the way it was designed.
Since this life-changing event, biocompatible holistic dentistry became the focus of my practice. I started taking courses, investigating and studying the effects of mercury in the body, and how mercury amalgam fillings add to the toxic burden of heavy metals in a human body.
As a result, finding alternative biocompatible materials and techniques to mercury amalgam fillings become a cornerstone of my practice, and remains so to this day.
The evolution of my philosophy and my treatment modalities has changed over the last 30 years. I believe that restoring teeth and keeping the gums healthy will increase oral health, which leads to the restoration and maintenance of overall total body health.
If you’re looking to perfect your smile, you are in good hands. Our Scarborough dentist provides complete dental care at affordable prices.
Yours Truly,
Dr. Ken Wolch |
