Can my silver fillings be replaced with white fillings?
Your silver or mercury fillings can’t be replaced with white or composite fillings but they should be done by a dentist trained in the proper protocols of biological dentistry as a member of the IAOMT I would recommend that this be done by someone with a proper training. You can go on our website IAOMT.ORG to find a dentist in your area you will need to have specialized protocols to protect you from Mercury leakage and protocols to take supplements to also protect you for that. Best Regards, Dr. Mark Berkowitz READ MORE
How often can I use a mouthwash in a day?
It depends on the mouthwash you are using. There are many over the counter alcohol based mouthwash’s that I feel can affect your health if used frequently in a negative fashion. Right off the bat if I mouthwash has alcohol in it this has been shown to be a carcinogen in many studies. Alcohol is a natural drying agent although they kill bacteria they also reduce the amount of saliva which promotes tooth decay and periodontal disease . Broad spectrum mouthwash that are actually recommended by dentists and periodontists like peridex uses chlorhexidine can reduce nitric oxide levels In our mouth’s and systemically and lead to an increase in your blood pressure. However if you use for example baking soda in some water that is alkalizing not harmful and can be used frequently.So in conclusion it depends if the initial mouthwash is beneficial or harmful.

Can a cavity spread to the next tooth?
No, it can only stay on that one tooth. However, if the conditions are ripe (such as poor brushing, high sugar and carbs, no flossing, and lack of VIT D3, K2 and magnesium), you can get other cavities in other teeth. 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.

I had Dr. Berkowitz do my upper and lower lids 10 years ago and loved the results. This month I had the Bellefill filler and am very pleased. The nasolabial folds are filled in making me I think look younger.

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

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
