2008: I highly recommend Dr. Lagos and his wonderful staff to anyone who wants top quality biological dentistry work done at a reasonable price. I have known of the dangers of mercury fillings for many years and have had many of my mercury fillings removed by a dentist who claimed to be biological. Sadly, she did not take the necessary steps to protect me when she was removing the mercury and I believe it actually contributed to my serious health problems. It is important to go to a dentist like Dr. Lagos who not only takes all the necessary precautions but also replaces the fillings with material that is compatible to your body. My so called "biological dentist" put materials back in my mouth that my body was very allergic to. Dr. Lagos had to remove all these highly reactive materials and replace it with dental materials my body could handle. Unfortunately, my dentist had also done four root canals in my mouth which Dr. Lagos did a great job on my teeth. Although I had all my root canals pulled at once and a great deal of dental work done, I was still able to keep going and enjoy the sights in Mexico. This was a pleasant surprise because, based on other dental experiences, I was expecting to be feeling terrible for the week. Instead my husband and I had a great time and it was truly like a vacation. I had very little pain and discomfort. I was so amazed! On my second visit to Dr. Lagos for bridges and crowns, my two teenage daughters accompanied me to Mexico and they also got their dental work done. Thanks to Dr. Lagos and his staff, the girls and I had a wonderful time. Our hotel was within walking distance of the dentist office and the Pacific Ocean. We enjoyed walks on the beach and even saw some dolphins in the ocean, which was a highlight for us South Dakota dry-landers. We will continue to recommend Dr. Lagos to anyone who is interested in having biological dentistry done correctly. We don't even know of one dentist in South Dakota who can do the type of dentistry that Dr. Lagos does. We would have had to travel to Colorado and the price would have been three times as much. It was such a wonderful blessing that God had led us to a wonderful Christian dentist like Dr. Lagos.
Sue Labrier 2008: It's hard to believe
that almost a year ago I made my first trip to Tijuana to see Dr.
Lagos. I had 12 fillings taken out before I found out about Dr. Lagos
by a good Dr. Huggins style dentist in Atlanta, Ga. If I had to do it
over again, Dr. Lagos would have done all my dental work. I would
have saved a lot of money and still got the top quality work that I
wanted. As it was, he removed two root canaled teeth and did the
cavitation cleaning. He also removed a third non-biologically
compatible crown. It had amalgam under it and he safely removed
that. He also replaced all my fillings (which were temporary
fillings) with bio-compatible composite fillings. I was a "little"
(maybe more than a little) concerned about not speaking Spanish, how
safe I would be traveling in Tijuana, and would the

24 September 2007 I had recently retired from the U.S. Navy due to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. Because my teeth had never been much of a problem in the past and I have good oral hygiene, I expected my first dental visit outside of the Navy to be routine. Instead, the civilian dentist said several teeth needed to be refilled and a large molar needed to be crowned. She also wanted to remove my sole composite filling and replacing it with amalgam, and would use amalgam for all other fillings as well as the crown! She said composite fillings were inferior to amalgam. As none of my teeth had been giving me problems and all existing fillings appeared to be intact, I questioned the need for so much work. I also wondered if her practice was outdated, as I had found current research showing composite fillings to be equal and in some ways superior to amalgam fillings. And, knowing that some believe the mercury from amalgam fillings to be toxic to the immune system, I was very fearful of adding more mercury to my already diseased body. Knowing no other dentists, I suddenly remembered that my friend from our church, Dr. Ezekiel Lagos, was a dentist! I knew Dr. Lagos to be a kind, gentle, and honest man, and was confident that his dental assessment would also be accurate and honest. When I found out that Dr. Lagos was also a Biological Dentist, using no mercury amalgam, I knew that I had found someone who could help me! Dr. Lagos’ assessment revealed that I DID need some dental work done, but NOT a crown. And, he did not just tell me what I needed, he showed me with his state of the art diagnostic equipment. For the first time in my life, I saw what my dentist could see. Dr. Lagos showed me my teeth, detailed and much enlarged on the computer screen in real time, pointing out where fillings were leaking or decay had begun. I ended up having all 10 of my existing fillings (9 of them amalgam) replaced with non-toxic composite fillings. Dr. Lagos has gentle hands, and gave me the best local anesthetic I have ever experienced. I did not desire any sedation, yet found myself napping through much of his work! In the end, I was amalgam and crown free, with beautiful white (not silver) teeth at much less cost than the questionable and toxic dental work. As an added bonus, the vitamin supplements Dr. Lagos prescribed prior to the dental work have helped lessen my MS symptoms so much that I have decided to continue them indefinitely. I will never go to a dentist other than Dr. Lagos. He has my complete trust and admiration. Sincerely, Gail R. Sweet
Dear Dr. Lagos
It may sound odd, but I must say that the experience of having a massive and "complete dental revision" in your office in Tijuana has been very enjoyable, very wonderful. It has also been very inspiring, from the first contact by email last year. From first to last you took time to answer all my questions and concerns thoroughly, by email and in person, explaining in detail your recommendations. Since going to Tijuana--a new place for me--felt a bit strange, it was very helpful and comforting that your website provides excellent information about nearby lodging at Hacienda del Mar, Yogurt Place for healthy meals and also reliable car service from San Diego. When I arrived for the first appointment in December, the tranquil atmosphere of your amazingly well set up office was reassuring and calming. Alex's friendliness, competence and simple kindness are a treasure. I felt immediately complete confidence when we met and I saw your calmness and straightforwardness. I do so admire your fearlessness in the face of so big a project! The sedation and your great skill made the tremendous amount of work not only bearable but painless in the chair. Your care after I woke up and your clear instructions for managing any discomfort protected me from both pain and worry. When I later broke a temporary bridge while traveling in South Carolina, I was able to reach you immediately on the phone and talk over the problem. After you installed the permanent teeth, you were very patient and thorough doing the calibration, with an excellent result. I will always be grateful to you for doing this work, and for your understanding and kindness. It is a precious blessing to have had this experience. Sincerely,
Dear Dr. Lagos
I had been ill for several years. The medical doctors were baffled as to why I was chronically fatigued, experienced aching teeth, brain fog, insomnia, depression and an inability to lose weight. Additionally, I had mood swings and hormonal imbalances. While researching chronic fatigue syndrome on the internet, I was linked to sites about chronic mercury poisoning. Incredibly, the list of symptoms from those suffering from mercury poisoning matched most of my own. When I asked my non-biological dentist to remove my thirteen mercury fillings--some badly corroded--he told me that there was nothing wrong with mercury fillings. "Me and all my staff have them," he said. "And we're all fine." While he was speaking, I noticed a sign on his wall that gave this warning: Amalgam fillings contain a chemical element known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. I reasoned that if mercury was potent enough to cause reproductive harm, conceivably it could cause harm to other systems of the body.
Thank you Dr. Lagos for your expertise as a biological dentist and for removing this toxic substance from my teeth safely and painlessly. Since the removal, many of the symptoms that had plagued me for years, have now diminished and some have disappeared. I have increased energy, improved mood and no more achy teeth and gums. Sincerely,
Dear Dr. Ezekiel N. Lagos and Staff
It has been several months since you helped us with our seven year old daughter Anidal. The decay of her baby teeth had presented a real problem for us as parents because of her handicaps we were unable to find a dentist who would perform nontoxic dentistry. Because of what we know of the hazzards of conventional dentistry in the U.S.; and our daughter’s congenital birth defects we did not want to leave her with a mouth full of trouble that would weaken her already fragile immune system.
Very Truly Yours
Dear Dr. Lagos:
I am so impressed by my first 2 visits to your office to remove 5 root canals and cavitations and place a temporary partial. I experienced 0 pain and the magnet works remarkably well to relieve pain days after the surgeries. I would recommend you to my friends and loved ones. I would recommend you to everyone who wants to cleanse their systems/immune system with the removal of infected root canals and toxic metals. I've been aware a long time of the dangers of mercury but just learned this year through the Gerson Institute of the root canal cover-up and of the work of Dr. Huggins in the USA and you Dr. Lagos in Mexico.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lagos' work was excellent, perhaps better than the top-notch dentists I've seen in New York City, and a fraction of the price. Do the oxygen sedation if you can afford it, it makes the dental work seem like you were just sleeping and so easy. Billy. I will recommend Dr, Lagos and his capable staff for the removal of mercury and excellent dental work in general with materials that won't make you ill afterwards. I had many amalgam fillings replaced and have rid myself of annoying feelings of being "under the weather" and the usual cold I caught every winter, too. His office and treatment area are clean, comfortable and the work is quick and painless. I encourage people with the usual mouthfuls of mercury to consider having the work done by Dr. Lagos. It's affordable and among the highest quality dental work of its kind. Angel Price. My name is Martha. My husband Eddie and I live in Arizona with our seven children. I have had several health challenges for many years, and through my research and prayer, I came to believe that I needed to have the mercury removed from my teeth. I was so afraid of having this work done. I was afraid of pain. I was afraid of using a dentist that didn't use the proper precautions and protocol while removing the mercury out of my teeth. I actually spent over 2 years reading and researching my plight. I interviewed at least a dozen biological dentists. Expense was also a concern for me, although I was not willing to sacrifice safety in order to save money. Finally, I decided to place myself in the hands of Dr. Lagos. Even though I was still so scared, I had great peace in my decision to use Dr. Lagos as my dentist. As far as I could see, he had all the protocol and state of the art equipment to be necessary for my safety and success. My experience with Dr. Lagos and his staff was greater than I could have imagined.
Martha Rehrmann. When the treatment began I found the sedation to be a Godsend. I have always had a fear of the drill, and being sedated eliminates that fear. It is very relaxing and the stress that is normally part of dental work doesn't factor in. You just doze and when you wake everything is done. I highly recommend sedation!
P. Cooney I wish to say to all who may read this that When Dr. Lagos first told me that he would be completing my dental treatment in only four three-hour sessions, four days in a row, I was scared that at the end of those four days I would be in bed for three or four more days with ice packs all over my face. NOT THE CASE AT ALL !
Jeff Stewart "I had exploratory cavitation surgery with Dr. Lagos, who is fluent in English and Spanish. I was delighted with his services. I felt no pain or discomfort, before or after the surgery. Dr. Lagos is Huggins trained and recommended. He uses state of the art equipment, and his procedures are completely mercury-free. Dr. Lagos uses a continuously running ozone air filter, gas masks for himself and his staff, rubber dams, oxygen via nasal canula, and Vitamin C intravenous solutions. Dr. Lagos also uses state of the art materials, and a digital x-ray machine with computer printouts. He measures electrical currents and removes fillings from highest to lowest output. My 73 year old mother had seven crowns with amalgam underneath, and eight fillings replaced by him in four consecutive sessions. She seems to be doing just fine, amazingly. Dr. Lagos is very gentle, considerate, and has a good sense of humor. His fees would likely be doubled in the United States." Anne Marquez
"Thank you for your excellent care involving my recent total dental revision which included the extraction of two infected root canals, a bridge and twelve crowns. I also want to thank you for the complete lack of pain after the extractions. That, to me, was amazing. Since getting all the mercury amalgams and toxic metals out of my system, as well as the root canals, my energy level has soared. I run upstairs now because I want to, and can walk as fast as my husband does. I feel that I have the same energy level I had when I was 30 ( I am now 69 years young).
Sincerely,
I had total dental revision by Dr. Lagos in April, 2000. He removed implants, root canals, cavitations, and amalgam fillings. My health has steadily improved since then. I highly recommend Dr. Lagos for all non-mercury dentistry. He and his entire staff were professional and caring in every regard. I will definitely be returning to his clinic for any future dental work. Dora Carman I knew I had to make the decision to have a total dental revision. My health -and my life- depended on it.
Margaret Stevenson,
As you know, I had so much work to be done, I was afraid it might be too overwhelming. However, you were able to organize and schedule everything perfectly, and completed it all in a timely fashion. I want you to know that since visiting your clinic, my health has improved steadily, especially, since you removed those last five cavitations. I also want you to know that I located a dental surgeon here in Florida that has the Cavitat machine. He checked all four quadrants of my mouth and confirmed for me that you had gotten all the cavitations out, and that there is no more work to be done. He was very complimentary of the extensive dental work you performed on my mouth including the partial plates, the crowns, and cleaning out those cavitations so thoroughly. He indicated all your work was first rate in every regard! My heartfelt thanks go to you, Dr Lagos, for all your good work. Dora Carman Dear Dr. Lagos: Obviously I am still here and doing quite remarkably well! .... For three years I suffered from one unexplained illness to another. Each time the doctors claimed my condition was so severe that death was imminent. No one addressed the cause until you. Since you removed my poisoned teeth:
