TRUE Wellness with Dr. Dee

Ep.19 The Toxic Truth About Dentistry: Mercury Exposure, Flouride & What Your Dentist Isn’t Telling You

Season 1 Episode 19

Could your dental fillings be silently poisoning you?

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Dee is joined by Dr. Leonard T. Fazio, DDS, a pioneer in holistic and biological dentistry. A graduate of New York University’s College of Dentistry, Dr. Fazio’s journey took a dramatic turn in the early '90s after suffering from severe health issues caused by occupational mercury exposure—a result of placing and removing mercury-containing amalgam fillings.

Inspired by the teachings of renowned dentist Dr. Hal Huggins, Dr. Fazio not only reclaimed his health but radically transformed his practice. He is now an advocate for mercury-free dentistry, biocompatible materials, and a whole-body approach to oral health.

Dr. Fazio brings decades of experience and hard-earned wisdom to this episode, helping you understand how your mouth could be the missing piece in your overall health journey.

💥 What You’ll Learn – 5 Shocking Truths That Could Transform Your Health

1. Mercury Is Still Used in Dentistry—Despite Its Toxicity

 Most traditional dental practices continue to use mercury-based amalgam fillings, even though mercury is one of the most toxic substances to human health. 

2. Improper Removal of Mercury Fillings Can Be More Dangerous Than Leaving Them In

 Dr. Fazio explains the science and risk behind removing mercury amalgams without proper safety protocols.

3. Mercury Poisoning Nearly Destroyed His Health—and No One Warned Him

 Before discovering holistic dentistry, Dr. Fazio personally experienced fatigue, brain fog, and other mysterious symptoms caused by mercury exposure. His journey back to wellness started with eliminating mercury from his life and practice.

4. Your Dental Materials May Be Incompatible With Your Body

 Not all fillings and dental materials are safe for every person. Biocompatibility testing helps ensure that what’s used in your mouth doesn’t trigger inflammation, autoimmune responses, or toxicity—yet almost no dentists offer this.

5. Oral Health Affects Your Entire Body—Including Your Brain and Gut

 Dr. Fazio reveals how poor dental health can compromise the immune system, impact cognitive function, and contribute to systemic disease—making oral health a foundation of total wellness.
