Biological Dentists in Virginia and North Carolina Note to patients: You should know what constitutes safe dentistry before you have amalgam removed from your mouth. You need to read the safe protocols and interview dentists before choosing a dentist. Please review Protocol for the Safe Removal of Mercury and check out other links on this website. These are some questions you could ask. DAMS coordinators in VA. For a complete list of biological dentists in VA please contact DAMS (Dental Amalgam Mercury Syndrome) at 1-800-311-6265 or DAMS coordinators in VA. If you are in the Roanoke area, I can recommend a DAMS dentist just two hours from Roanoke who is located near Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Dr. Edwardo Castro at the Mount Rogers Clinic recommends him to his patients. See the dentist's listing below. If you contact me, please tell me the city and state where you live so I can help put you in contact with DAMS coordinators in your state. If you contact DAMS at 1-800-311-6265, Leo Cashman will send you an information packet and a list of dentists in your state. To be checked for heavy metals, I recommend the Mount Rogers Clinic at Troutdale, Virginia. From Roanoke, travel south on I-81 to the second Marion exit (exit 45). Exit to the left onto Route 16 and follow signs for Troutdale. If you do not live in Virginia, you may contact DAMS for a list of dentists in your state. You may also call 863-420-6373 for a list of dentists who are members of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). You can find a list of IAOMT dentists at www.iaomt.org. You may write IAOMT at: International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology 8297 Championsgate Blvd. #193 Championsgate, FL 33896 It is not enough to just obtain a list of dentists and doctors. You need to order the information packet from DAMS to get yourself educated so that you will make the wisest choices in choosing a doctor or dentist, and learning how to detoxify your body. The more information you have, the safer will be your experience in becoming healthy again. I do not have all the information you need on my website. If you have not found a good alternative doctor to help you with supplements and detoxification, a good biological dentist will be able to provide you with a list of alternative physicians that helps him with his patients. So just call the dentist's office for recommendations for a medical doctor. If you are an experienced biological dentist in VA, NC, or SC that uses (at least) all of the mercury removal protocols recommended by the IAOMT and would like your name listed on this website please email me at marieflow@aol.com.
