Safe Removal of Toxic Mercury Fillings
What is Mercury?
Mercury is a known toxic, bio accumulative substance – and it often finds its way into your body through dental amalgams, deceptively called “silver fillings.” Your health and the environment are paying a steep price for these fillings that not only permanently damage your tooth structure, but can also weaken it over time. The mercury they release in your body can negatively affect your brain, nervous system, kidneys, and an unborn child’s brain and health. Studies have shown that only 24% of consumers are aware that “silver fillings” are primarily mercury.
Safe Amalgam Removal
Did You Know
Dentists are the 2nd largest users of mercury in the United States each year. Globally around 313-411 TONS of mercury is used for dental fillings.
Mercury Removal
At Atlanta Dental Spa, one of the main reasons we promote porcelain restorations is that studies have shown they are the most biological compatible materials. Atlanta Dental Spa is a 100% mercury free practice. In fact, we remove a lot of old mercury fillings that have broken down and caused splitting of teeth, or are just simply oxidizing in your mouth.
Toxic Teeth: Are Mercury Fillings Making You Sick ? Part 1
The removal process of mercury fillings can be just as toxic as having them placed. In an attempt to thwart the negative effects we:
- Provide you with an alternative air source and instruct you not to breathe through your mouth.
- Use a cold-water spray to minimize mercury vapors.
- Upon request, put a dental dam in your mouth so you don’t swallow or inhale any toxins. This is done by request because some people are claustrophobic.
- Use a high-volume evacuator near the tooth at all times to evacuate the mercury vapor.
- Wash your mouth out immediately after the fillings have been removed.
- Immediately clean your protective wear once the fillings are removed.
- Use micron whole-office filtration.
