Biological Dentistry is Not Only Mercury
Biological dentistry encompasses more than just mercury. Everything we utilize in our practice is carefully placed with each procedure. We don’t use any fluoride in our practice as it is toxic to your health. We don’t use formocresol, which kills the nerve for children’s teeth, but I consider...
Should I remove a gum cyst?
It first have to be determined what the cause is. If you remove it and it is caused by a tooth, it will come back. Once the course is determined, then the treatment can be rented. Best regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Why are teeth whiteners so expensive?
Simply to make lots of money they just use peroxide or carbamide peroxide which are both inexpensive and it doesn’t cost the manufacturer much to make these Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
What are the treatment options for tongue ulcers?
Two suggestions are first Homeopathic Remedy merc sol which is good for ulcers or any destruction in the body. And the other suggestion is putting ozonated olive oil on the ulcer a few times daily, or getting an injection of O-Zone into the ulcer that will get rid of it and get rid of the pain quickly Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Can I sleep in my dentures?
You can sleep with your dentures that’s a personal decision. Yes you can use the tablets or powder that they sell in the store on a daily basis also you can get a denture scrub brush with a denture toothpaste and scrub the dentures. Lastly when you go to your dentist they usually have an ultrasonic cleaner and can get off any stains that you could not manage Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Can being obese be related to having cavities?
There could be a strong relationship. Usually people that are overweight consume a lot of carbohydrates and sugar and of course this can lead to do with the key. Also some away people do not have a good self image and it may not take care of the teeth as well either Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
How long does a dental filling procedure last?
Thereafter the time for anesthesia or numbing is 10 to 15 minutes typically. Best regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
What procedures require an oral surgery follow up?
If what you’re going to do is a dental implant then it would be a good idea to see the quality and quantity of bone it might be necessary to place the implant. Otherwise if you’re doing a permanent fixed bridge then it won’t be necessary to see the oral surgeon Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Can alcohol delay the healing of my wisdom tooth removal?
The body heals best when it is in a healthy state which means high alkaline state or high pH alcohol is something that will lower the body’s pH and as result may slow down wound healing Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Is dry socket a type of infection?
A dry socket we believe is caused by a blood clot not forming the exposed bone causes a dull aching pain without this blood clot it is very uncomfortable. My belief is that a dry socket is caused by certain types of bacteria and maybe fungus two that are remaining in an infected site typically this is very common in wisdom teeth surgical extractions. I find using O-Zone in my practice has lessened this markedly Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Is having a molar extraction painful?
It depends there are many factors involved in pain if your tooth comes out easily and there’s no infection you may be really need an Advil however if it’s an impacted wisdom tooth and they have to cut away bone and this infected tooth that can be very painful so it varies based on what tooth is being removed and the condition of the tooth Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Is a periodontal follow up needed if my gingivitis is mild?
I would definitely have her get checked more regularly. Try doing a three-month recall for a year and that should get you into trouble. Best regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
How can I straighten my teeth?
Usually when you get into adulthood most adults would prefer not to do traditional braces with all the metal involved from a cosmetic point of and would do something like Invisalign there’s another company out there that is doing a similar thing to a Invisalign it’s done in a shorter period of time and less expensive. However keep in mind in Invisalign cannot do every case only about 80% of them so if you’re in the minority of 20% you would have to do traditional braces. Lastly you can cut down on a lot of the metal of traditional braces by using ceramic brackets which will cost a little bit more but is much nicer from a cosmetic point of you Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
How can I prevent dental cavities?
With traditional dentistry I like the use of an Oral-B toothbrush and a WaterPik water flosser In the WaterPik I recommend 1 teaspoon of baking soda or 10 drops of iodine and a Cap Full of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide toothpaste I recommend dentalcidan toothpaste and poofy organically he organic happy tooth powder.However the missing link with many patients is nutrition I recommend vitamin D3 5 to 8000 IU for adultsvitamin K2 About 1 mg per dayand magnesium Remag from Caroline Dean MD place 1 teaspoon in a glass of water two times a dayIf you follow this protocol you should keep yourself from most if not all cavities. I do not recommend the use of the floor right though it might help a little bit topically it does not work systemic way in my opinion and is toxic to the thyroid and your intelligence if you take it Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Can I have dental anesthesia when pregnant?
Buy dental anesthesia I think you mean by an injection of a dental anesthetic. I do not recommend you being put to sleep. As far as an injection you should have Carbocaine 3% without a vasoconstrictor and it should be safe for you and most OB/GYN‘s will allow you to have it Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
What is a mini tooth implant?
If you think of a regular implant as a bolt then a mini implant would be like a finishing nail much smaller and thinner. It can be used immediately right after it’s placed even the same day however it does not have the strength and the success rate as a typical implant which may need up to six months to heal. They are less expensive and many dentists use these when money is an issue. I also like to use them for making Secure temporaries that don’t come out while the regular implant is healing Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
What are the symptoms of a tooth infection?
If you did not have dental work recently and the symptoms appeared suddenly you may need to see a dentist as the nerve may be involved and you may need a root canal especially if the symptoms don’t alleviate Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
How do you soothe an irritated tooth?
Rub oil of cloves on the gum and around the tooth Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Does drilling a cavity hurt?
Everybody’s pain tolerance is different; most people can do a small cavity many times without any anesthetic, however, the majority of people get numbed for their cavities and, if so, this is a painless experience. Best regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
How do I get my gums to stop bleeding?
I would recommend to see your dentist and hygienist right away. Also to use a WaterPik and place in the WaterPik 1 teaspoon of baking soda one Capg of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide and 10 to 20 drops of iodine 150 MCG which you can get in Whole FoodsUse the WaterPik with warm water two times a day I also recommend the use of an Oral-B toothbrush to keep the plaque off your teeth by the gum line Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
Which are the best dental implants?
I personally prefer the zirconia over metal or titanium. All metals conduct electric current and the body runs on electric, so I believe this may be an issue. Somebody can be allergic to the metal implants, which can cause immune system problems. So, my recommendation is always a zirconia implant. Best regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE

I am exceptionally pleased with Dr. Berkowitz and his staff at Accents cosmetic surgery and spa. I elected to have an eye lift to enhance my vision and reduce my perpetual tired look. The procedure was very successful and I would recommend it to anyone who is considering having it done. I also had a facial resurfacing at the same time and am thrilled with the results. The staff at the surgery center was very professional as well as friendly and caring. The follow up care was exceptional.

Dr. Berkowitz and his staff were awesome. I had a ptosis repair on my left eyelid and was super nervous but when I got to the office on surgery day everyone made me feel at home and I instantly felt calm knowing I was in good hands. Before and after shots were taken by staff and I honestly cant believe how much better my eye looks. My eye was a lifelong battle and I hated taking photos of myself without covering my left eye with my hair but now my selfies are looking better than ever
Good results with filler. Happy with procedure.
Very nice

- Krystal
I previously had a plastic surgeon that I saw for almost 2 years who did my Botox and filler injections. Dr. Mark Berkowitz over exceeded my expectations instantly. His staff was beyond helpful and made me feel like I was family. This was my first visit at the office because I came with a friend who was having work done. Dr. Berkowitz staff made me feel so comfortable that I had Botox and fillers done instantly that same day. They fit me into his hectic schedule which was a major plus for me. Needless to say I will be leaving my previous plastic surgeon of 2 years and will be a faithful client of Dr. Berkowitzs. Words cannot describe how happy I am and how sweet and accommodating his staff was. I give them 5 big stars.
- Debbie
I am very pleased with the service and all of the employees that contribute to the service I receive. I hope to try some other services in the near future.
