After being introduced to biological dentistry 17 years ago, I learned several things that have built the foundation for my dental practice. First, the human body is designed to heal itself, and will continue to do so, if given the opportunity. Second, from major organ systems to basic cellular components, our bodies will function in a holistic fashion that will support and maintain a healthy disposition.
As a biological dentist, it became quite clear to me through my own professional experiences and clinical evaluations that the oral cavity is certainly no exception to these rules.
When there is an imbalance in the mouth, it can create significant compromises to other parts of the body as well. Bacterial infections and material sensitivities are the two biggest dilemmas that I constantly see causing health issues with our patients.
Once these imbalances are corrected, not only is the mouth healthier but patients begin to comment on improvements with their overall health and wellness, such as, more energy, improved digestion, eliminate sinus congestion, reduced back spasms, and improved mental clarity, to name a few.
Welcome to the “Tooth-Body” connection. Although this may be a difficult concept to grasp at first, it has been a constant theme that I’ve promoted in my practice for years.
During the next several months, I’d like to share with you a few of our patient testimonials that I think you’ll find both interesting and educational for anyone who wants to learn more about the health benefits that biological dentistry can offer.
Patient Success Story:
“I had been experiencing tinnitus for about 3-4 years. It concerned me as it was getting louder as time went on. I had an earwax problem at that time and thought ear cleaning would also help with the tinnitus but it did not. I started having my amalgam fillings removed quadrant by quadrant. It wasn’t until the last quadrant of mercury fillings were removed that I noticed any changes in the tinnitus. Days later, I was just about ready to doze off to sleep when I realized there was no ringing in my ear, just beautiful silence.”
During this patient’s clinical evaluation, it was noted that her galvanic (electrical) current was much higher than normal in several of her mercury fillings. Simply reducing the galvanic current(s) by replacing the mercury fillings with tooth colored restorations made all the difference in the world for this patient. (Visit our website article entitled, Is There a Battery in Your Mouth?)
If you are experiencing tinnitus and would like more information regarding the effects that galvanic currents may have on your hearing, please feel free to contact our office. We’ll be happy to provide you with a free evaluation during the next month to determine if there may be a dental connection to this annoying, ringing sensation in your ears.
well I hope my tinnitus gets better, am having a dentist remove all 7 of mine on july 22nd!!!…….
Hi Jim,
It’s been quite sometime from you post. Have you had any relief from tinnitus after having your filling removed?
Thank you.
I would like to know too please. You may be on to something MAJOR here that could help a LOT of sufferers! Please follow up!

I had a bridge put in. Ever since I have ringing in my left ear. How can I fixed that
I swear that once I had my dental work done bridges, and metal in my mouth my ears started to ring, and when I press on my teeth my ear rings, but before I am going to pull all the metal out of my mouth, as I have had caps, and partials before but never this type of metal, and would like more information as I took all soughts of tests, MRI, MRA, etc all is normal, saw ENT, all is OK except fo rhearing loss and want to know how the metal in one mouth can affect their ears, they are two separate organs, but I thought if I took the dental work out and have NO TEETH, how would I feel as well, but what is the choice, dentures, or ringing I would take dentures any day, but need to know first that is the reason my ears are ringing other than audiotoxic drugs, past chemo, etc.
Feel free to give us a call at the office to discuss your options for evaluation and treatment options: 314-997-2550. If you live beyond the greater St. Louis area and need to find a biological dentist closer to home, there are a number of directories available online:

Hi I have just been reading all the comments and my words I have most of the symptoms hearing damage Ringing in the hears pressure dizziness. 4 years I have been back and fourth to the doctors even paid to go private to hopefully get it all sorted but no joy. And I have now only just come to realise I have a broken tooth at the back one from my wisdom tooth. So now am thinking it may have some thing to do with that tooth of why am suffering really bad pain in my ear. With suffering with anxiety as well I have just kept putting the dentist off but if it will help with my ear problem then I need to get an appointment. This has been very helpful.
Hey how did you go did they fix your tinnitus
I came across this site as a search about pressing on my teeth causing ringing. More pressing, more ringing volume.
I do not have any metal in my front teeth, but when they are pressed outward from within the mouth (with my thumb) a ringing is induced.
When my filled teeth (rear amalgam filled ) are pressed from the inside toward the outside I can create a similar effect. This however, leads me to believe that in my case it is not the amalgam galvanic properties, but more likely pressure on nerves in the head bone structures and/or nerves since the effect is actually stronger from the push on the front teeth with no amalgam or metal of any type.
I’ve had steadily progressive ear ringing for nine years, along with symptoms of swollen sinuses, blurry vision, feeling feverish, swollen lymph nodes periodically, trouble speaking, chills, heavy tension in my neck and shoulders (my neck cracked loudly whenever I turned my head and was sore every morning). My previous dentists and doctors couldn’t find anything wrong. I had ex rays, CAT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, you name it and they all showed no problems. I went to the hospital or several occasions because I was scared but they couldn’t find anything. I had absolutely no symptoms of having any type of tooth problem.. Until finally, and blessedly, a few days ago I developed nerve pain in one of my lower back teeth. In 2009 I’d had both my wisdom tooth and the tooth next to it filled not with metal but with the tooth colored stuff. I’d had root canal work done on the wisdom tooth. I went to the dentist today because of the pain. She did ex rays but they showed nothing wrong with either tooth. So she did the hot and cold test to see which one was problematic, with some sort of cold liquid from a can (I couldn’t tell exactly which one the pain was coming from). We figured out it was my wisdom tooth that was hurting. She extracted the tooth and a miracle has happened for me today that I must share, out of joy and to help others. ALL of the symptoms I mentioned above started to go away precisely right after the tooth was extracted. It’s as if they’re melting away and very rapidly. That’s the only way I can explain it. I have antibiotics but the symptoms are going away simply because the bad tooth was removed.. The message I have for everyone is to always have your doctor do a very thorough exam on your teeth when you have any of the above symptoms, especially ear ringing (mine had gotten loud and regular). I’d been so scared and started to think I had some serious unrecognizable disease or a diseased immune system when it turned out that all I had was a root canal infection that had caused no tooth or gum symptoms for years.
Hello Tanisha,
Good to read your resilience story with a happy ending after wisdom tooth extraction. Are you still free of ear ringing, two months after the extraction?
I have tinnitus since Aug 15, 2016 and I am undergoing an orthodontic treatment that involves my wisdom tooth only since last summer. I had swollen sinuses, blurry vision etc. similar to you.
Hope to hear from you!
Hi there I just read your info there on this page & could you please tell me if your tinnitus has stayed away ? Going thru a bad time now 🙁
I just got my wisdom molar out. I lay down and pulsing is gone. I wish Dr. new more about dental health. I went 3 times. General doctor, audiologist and head nose and mouth Dr. And neither one had an idea why the pulsing in ear began, why only at night. Why I had head aches and neck aches. Mental fog. Last week I make an appointmente for surgery now its gone and ear feels normal and head thinks clear. I was losing hope and begin to search if I could be those people that make up ilness that’s how bad I have feel this last 4 months. Never lose hope ppl!
OMG
I am suffering from some of your above symptoms so bad.
All xrays normal, had 2 rootcanal and crowns, all normal
but sensitivity on biting hard stuff even like chips.
Been to many dentist, no help, am scared to go to any dentist cause all is spending money with no solution.
even while I am typing so bad sensitive and ear left side as though night insects are making sound. praying God that I get some solution. Migraines, sometimes even palpitation, feel like biting teeth. It’s gotten worse, also stiffness and pulling around my nose from this tooth area.
They are asking me to take 3d exrays as last 2 years back normal, so now may be cracked tooth
But they are not covered by insurance. Don’t know what to do.
Praying.
Thank you,
Hello,
I have all the same symptoms as the Tanisha, and more. Been dealing with Drs for several years. Same as you, nothing showed on Xrays – BUT, my dentist suggested I see a specialists who could perform a 3D Xray. The 3D Xray showed an infection in my upper molar – right up against my sinus cavities (which blocked the view on a 2D Xray).
I’m having the tooth extracted next week and praying for the same results as Tanisha.
Look into getting a 3D Xray – it will tell the story immediately
I buy a tooth whitening box from Walmart for under $10. I throw away the product and use the tooth guard in my mouth when I am sleeping. It helps to keep the headaches away and the jaw pain and alleviates the stuffiness. I have not found any relief from the tinnitus; constant ringing and screeching. Saving money to see about having root canals removed.
I could cry with hope after reading this. I’ve been suffering from tinnitus for 14 months. Developed high sensitivity in a tooth. X-rays show nothing. Finally went to dental specialist… who did the hot/cold test and mri on a crown. I had a root canal next week. Could it be that this is the problem? I never thought I’d be looking forward to a root canal! Here’s hoping!
How did you get on with the root canal did it solve your tinnitus syptoms
Congratulations Tanisha , I am happy for you .. I felt your joy because this is what iam suffering from currently. But may I ask you if your wisdom tooth was normal (straight) or abnormal (inclined to the left or right) ? … thank you
Here is my story. The ringing in my ears started about 16 years ago… it started as a very quiet hum. Then developed into full force ringing that during multiple times, ER visits Within the last year . Dr after Dr after Dr, to no avail. I then started to get ear infections .. only in my left ear .. or so a dr would tell me . I would take the antibiotics .. however the ringing was still there. It would get so bad I could do nothing but sit on the couch with the tv up so high to try and block it out. It was excruciating.
I was diagnosed with TMJ many years ago before the ear ringing however when that was diagnosed .. I had no ringing.
Fast forward to March of 2020.
I had an upper and lower partial for several years with metal clasps … not one dentist ever connected the ringing to the metal, the Partial, anything.
The suffering was life altering.
I also still had my wisdom teeth. There were no cavities, they did grown in at an angle, however with each dentist I saw… they never said anything .. even though I mentioned and asked about the ringing in my ears.
It had become a full on ringing in my head. I was beginning to think I would go crazy.
Well… I had had it with my partial.. this was my third one, both top and bottom. The first dentist I saw re-did some older fillings, they were not mercury before or after. I was fitted with a very bad partial on the bottom, and the dentist did not want to do an upper partial as he said it was just fine. He put a hard liner in the partial up top, and had a lower partial made which was horrid. This occurred during the start of the corona virus.
Fast forward to about 4 months ago. I moved , and sought the help of another dentist . He was very up front . He pulled no punches. I needed my lower wisdom teeth extracted, or he would not make a lower denture without out taking them out.
They were taken out ..
guess what .. I think it was about the second week that I was just sitting there and suddenly realized … the ringing isn’t totally gone.. but it’s NOTHING compared to what it used to be!!
I suffered dry sockets 3 times .. so I’m pretty sure the pain of that overshadowed the ringing .
Once the dry socket issue was (btw dry socket is not overly common) the ringing is now much diminished . I still have my upper wisdom teeth . I need to mention also, that I was experiencing very painful inner ear pain during all those years.
My lower wisdom teeth had no cavities.
Now, 2 months later .. since the extraction .. I’m getting a Valplast upper partial, and a lower denture. My second try in is in two days. I can’t believe how the ringing has changed.
No more metal clasps, which I’m certain at this point made the problem even worse. I will be inquiring about getting my upper wisdom teeth extracted as well .. because I do not want the loud head ringing to start up again.
Better safe than sorry. All those years of debilitating pain and suffering.. not one dentist or dr ever asked about the possibility of it being tooth related, jaw related, metal in the mouth related , wisdom tooth related.
I’m currently experiencing ringing .. however it is nothing in comparison to what I endured for so many years. See ya wisdom teeth!! For you teeth are too close to the inner ears in my mouth . Good riddance!
Thanks for sharing your story.
Amazing,
I have been suffering from tinnitus since June 8th. May 29th two extractions at front for abscess during lockdown.
Just ten days later tinnitus started. S/B same dentist during lockdown for a filling left lower tooth. Dentist denies any correlation with surgery or eating!
Less teeth less ability to chew or bite.
Scheduled for more surgery so I changed dentist a further four extractions,one of them was infected. Under sedation thank goodness.and another filling to left lower tooth neighbouring previous filling.
Pain from extractions manageable, pain. From left lower teeth unbearable and tinnitus of the charts. Do I have another Abscess or is it root/ nerve problem.
Seeing dentist Tuesday! I am beginning to think this is the culprit of my tinnitus.
It excites the tinnitus when gum touched and when moving head.
I pray for an answer soon! seen by audiology ENT herbalist acupuncture.
Chiropractor assessment showed head and neck involved!
Such a relief to be told it’s mechanical instead of being told no treatment!!!
I am so grateful for my chiropractor who has helped me to pursue a treatment and maybe finish the ringing once and for all.
Even prepared to lose all teeth!.
I had braces for 2 years, clear ones on my upper teeth and metal ones on my bottom teeth. I removed them dec 2014 and got a permanent stainless still retainer on my bottom teeth and a Hawley retainer on my upper teeth. Do you think this might have anything to do with my tinnitus. It’s a high pitched continuous sound that started somewhere Nov 2014 and it hasn’t stopped until now. I have also noticed that since aug 2014 I started developing trigeminal paresthesia and it was very strong during the month of december 2014 and ian 2015 when I received my retainers… The trigeminal parestehsia, resembled the sensation of bugs crawling under my skin on the scalp, forehead, nose and cheek bones. My jaw was not affected. I still have this paresthesia sensations on my scalp, forehead and checks but is not as strong as it was in dec 2014, jan 2015. I also have chronic nasal congestion and flu like symptoms since oct 2014, which only got worse with time. Only garlic and a good night sleep seems to help. My symptoms resemble a lot mercury intoxication, but I don’t have root canals, don’t have amalgam feelings and don’t eat fish or meat, just on occasions used to, and only salmon, trout. About a month ago I ate a lot of cilantro for 2 days in a row, 2 bunches, and I had symptoms of poisoning, with my blood pressure dropping at 60/35 Hg and irregular heart beating. After about 2 weeks I have noticed on one of my nail fingers a white line that matched the date in time when I ate the cilantro. The while line on my nail bad grows with the nail, and extends on the entire width of the nail. I researched this and looks like it’s a Mees Line, tell tail sign in Heavy Metal Poisoning. Could this tinnitus and formication sensations on the scalp of my head, forehead and checks be the result of mercury intoxication? I was probably chronically exposed, but how long does it take in a chronic mercury exposure to start having pareshesia and tinnitus, flu-like symptoms, where nasal congestion is very bothering and upsetting.
Thank you.

Look into a low salicylate diet.
Corina,
Please see my recent post. If the retainer is creating pressure on the teeth (which I suspect it has to to some extent) it may be causing the tinnitus.
Please check out the face book group Andy Cutler. They have great info on mercury toxicity and also cilantro! You will be amazed.
I have 2 titanium dental implants in my mouth. Any link there to tinnitus, from which I suffer?
It’s certainly possible. You may want to consult a qualified biological dentist who can do an exam and testing to evaluate your oral-systemic health situation.
I am not a medical professional. I have heard of people that have had cracked teeth due to amalgam fillings not heating or cooling at the same rate as the tooth material. I was told that drinking hot or cold drinks creates a difference in temperature between the amalgam and tooth, because the amalgam is slower to change than the tooth, and maintains its initial temperature longer than the tooth. Thus the amalgam does not contract or expand at the same rate as the tooth.
In the case of tinnitus caused by possible pressure on or in the tooth, the above (anecdotal) information would seem to lend credibility to the issue of pressure causing tinnitus, regardless of internal (from amalgam, titanium, etc.) or pressure from a device such as bridge or retainer, braces, etc.
My own experience shows that ringing can only be created from an inside-out pressure. But, I have know way to compare with other individuals’ experience.
I was just wondering I have a slight hissing sound and clicking in my left ear! As I had a root canal done last year and since I had it done I have like a dull ache in it on and off! I went for a second opinion and the new dentist told me that my last dentist done a bridge and one of the teeth was not strong enough to hold the root canal, he said I have a space in the tooth now so maybe this is causing the ache! I clean and floss my teeth regularly and I am unsure what to do now! Do you think this condition is causing the problem in my ear! I hope I was able to explain this OK for you! Many thanks if you can get back to me.

I exp. Ringing in thr ears…when i apply presdure to the msndible n maxilla the soundvsmplifys….years ago i went to the Delawr clinic on a school program the dentist said i needed filings…(I too think the ringingbis caused by the fillings).most recent i visited sn ent specialist years ago….they blamed the cochlea…saying my ears dont recieve sll decibsls n thats whete the ringing comes from…i am in cobstsnt distrsction n xoned out from the ringing…
Had tinnitus 24/7 right ear for 4 months. Could not be helped by any doctor. Finally it came time for my annual dental Xray. Culprit was found – cracked tooth root.
Dave, please may I ask you which teeth? I think my severe tinnitus is coming from my front tooth that has been chipped and repaired twice… very sensitive… Drs and Dentist are lost! Lots of misery and $$…. thank you!!
When the cracked tooth root was removed did the ringing go away?
just came across this post , pardon for bad English its not my first language
my T started 4 years ago , it was mild and sometimes loud gave me depression and such but then i get used to it and it went very very low , i use to eat my food from my left side anyways 6 months back i got a pain in my right uper end tooth, the dentist did a whole in my tooth and wanted to do my root canal , i didn’t do it yet .. so i started eating from the l left lower end teeth and after that i started exercise and chewing gum so much like all day .. and then i developed my T again this time it louder .. anyways the pattern is the same … its like one day my T is very very low not even there and the next day its loud and then so on so on .. whenever i open my mouth completely it increases the volume in my T whenever i clench my teeth it increases the volume. whenever i open my jaw i sometimes hear the crackling sound at the left end side of the jaw as well … my T is always on the left side sometimes it feels like its in the head too but never ever on the right side, what do you think about this ? plus my teeth are hurting these days as well , its the mango season here so whenever i eat mango my left teeth does hurt anyways my question is may be my T is because of the jaw and teeth but dentists here tell me that T can never be teeth related . plus my teeth need braces too … today i am having louder T and i bet tomorrows when i wake up i will feel the T in the morning and after that no tinnitus for the day .. if my loudest Tinnitus is 10 then for a day after i feel like its 1, 2 or even 0 .. complete silence.. may be its got to do with jaw movement or elasticity that one day its hard and next day its soft … any tips would be appreciated .. once again sorry for the bad English .. thank you
Thank you for sharing your story, Waqas. We are sorry you have been having to live with this. Your best bet is to have your teeth evaluated by a biological dentist. Both the IAOMT and IABDM have online directories that may help you find a biological dentist near you (they are global organizations):

TALKInternational also maintains a list of mercury-free, holistic and biological dentists around the world: http://www.talkinternational.com/holistic-biological-mercury-free-dentists-directory/#!directory/map
look up TMJ…. Jaw disfunction
i absolutely believe my tinnitus came on due to my root canal treatment either they hit a nerve and i have nerve damage (makes absolute sense) or I now have TMJ as a result of having mouth open so long…i never had a problem before and i have several metal filling that I dont think are the problem …
Same here. My tinnitus only came on with a (botched) root canal. Same side as the ear with the tinnitus.
one month after I had my root canal & crown on my right canine I started getting pain in it that would go up into my jaw and nose area, I thought if I gave it some time it would go away, but one morning soon after I woke up and my ear on that side was stopped up and ringing, when I went to make a phone call I couldn’t hear the dial tone, so I went to an ENT, and they diagnosed it as Ménière’s disease, now the tooth pain has spread to the back tooth and my Tinnitus has started to go to both ears, I have tried different ent’s and I have changed my diet, to no salt, no caffeine, and No alcohol, I have been taking water pills and valium, and even the over the counter Lipo-Flavonoid Plus Pills, but nothing seems to help, I even had an MRI of my ear, the only reason I haven’t gone back to the dentist is because the ENT thinks that one has nothing to do with the other, and with my ears ringing so loud I hate the thought of siting there for over an hour with my mouth wide open, what do you thinkk?
Same. I went to a new dentist for checkup. The assistant left me with my mouth open so long and awkward for a million xrays. I couldn’t chew for 6 months and had T. No problems before this visit
Definitely get dentist to re X-ray teeth! I have been suffering for 13 weeks today. Seen by dentist x4 visits. Deny connection with bite or recent extractions. Have seen ENT/Audiology/ER visits when told by dentist no connection ironic it started 10 days after two extractions at the front bite completely off!
Have done CBT/Yoga/meditation/Reiki/herbal remedies/acupuncture/hypnotherapy.
Changed dentist and now waiting for more xrays tomorrow. Very tender gum and unrelenting tinnitus on same side as worsening tinnitus.
I am hoping the tooth that has not been hurting but the gum increases the tinnitus could be the cause.
Also chiropractor assessment confirmed mechanical element. Here’s hoping for answers?
Hello to your wonderful office. I have some of these symptoms and I am wondering if you can recommend some holistic dentists for Canadians. If not, for me it’s definitely worth a trip to come see you otherwise.

Those roots have been in few years. All kindza physical problems showing up. The tinnitus is unbearable. I’m not sure if it’s the teeth or taking Augmentin. I’m on Clindamycin now because I have a metallic taste in good & water in my mouth.

I had 3d xrays last year, except for one dentist and one ortho a probable removal or retreat of root canal, oral surgeon directed me to neuriologist and need to get mri brai scan to rule out some possibilities.
But yes, my tinnitus, teeth sensitivity, stiffness, pulling feeling around tooth, nose, eyes, weird feeling in head…all worth getting a scan to get clarity.
Awful experience, since 4 years , but worst since few months.

I had a cap on broken tooth (front lower jaw) and an old back lower jaw filling replaced 15 weeks ago. 4 days later my Temple and cheekbone swelled up and I was prescribed amoxicillin for 10 days by the ER doctor. The next day I got Tinnitus and my jaw wouldn’t open past 29mm. I had head x-ray and MRi and hearing tests and blood tests. Nothing abnormal. A week ago I got a course of Prednisone and my mouth opened to 36mm overnight. I have a tender spot on my upper cheekbone and still have Tinnitus and now neck pain. Occasionally nbrain fog. Could it be the cap or the new filling? I also have impacted wisdom teeth at the top but they’ve been there like that for years. I’m in Westchester ny

Have tinnitus in my left ear and have had a root canal done about 3 years ago. I have always felt it, but now the infection is getting a little worse and will have the tooth removed in a couple of days and let you know whether that solves it.
… please let us know.
I had a root canal on my number 2 molar in 2016. 2 days ago a 3-D ex ray discovered a crack in my tooth underneath the cap. There was an infection in that tooth with considerable pain. Thinking back that was about the time my tinnitus started. I’m taking amoxicillin to clear up the infection before it’s extracted Tuesday AM. My tooth pain has stopped but the ringing is as loud as ever. Is it possible the root canal has caused the ringing and not the infection or the crack?
We’re not able to offer any kind of diagnostic speculation here, unfortunately, but good luck with your upcoming surgery. We hope all turns out well for you!

Since 2 years followed by gastric problem (both switch on and off)….. ringing in right years…. kind of itching in face area on and off…. slight tooth pain… right eye slightly blur sometimes and headache too occasionally …itching inside ears sometime.. no proper sleep….. i checked dentist and he said tooth are okay may be slight filling on top (when i eat sweet it hurts sometime).
