Mercury Filling Removal

Many individuals still have amalgam fillings containing the toxic heavy metal mercury. Designated as hazardous waste by the EPA, these fillings can have a significant impact on overall health. A notable number of patients experience improvements in their well-being after having old mercury fillings removed. Our approach to this process involves adhering to the "Protect Protocol," established by the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM). This protocol, similar to the SMART protocol from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), is designed to safeguard patients, dental team members, and dentists from exposure to mercury-laden aerosols during amalgam removal.

Our commitment to ensuring your safety extends to the meticulous care we take in removing these toxic materials. We replace them with natural-looking, non-toxic alternatives that enhance both appearance and safety. As part of our comprehensive approach, we encourage patients to undergo a blood antigen test to assess potential allergy interactions between their unique physiology and the materials proposed for their restorations. This assessment is facilitated through the Clifford Material Reactivity Test.

For over 25 years, our dentist has been diligently following these protocols. Our practice has gone above and beyond to extend these well-established procedures, aiming to contain the dispersion of toxic particles within our office environment. During procedures like teeth polishing performed by our hygienists, we employ Dent Air Vac units to absorb the generated vapor. This measure ensures that our staff, hygienists, doctors, patients, and fellow patients remain unaffected by any hazardous particles.

In these situations, patient beware; a Biological office is different than other Traditional Dental practices/offices for your care.

Toxicity from Dental Materials Used

Dental materials have the potential to release various metallic ions, including mercury, tin, copper, silver, nickel, and zinc, into the body. These ions can migrate from the teeth to bones, connective tissues, and nerves, andsubsequently journey to the central nervous system. Once lodged there, they can perpetually disrupt normal bodily functions. At our practice, we prioritize the proper removal of silver mercury fillings, replacing them with new, natural-looking, and non-toxic alternatives.

Key Benefits

Patients who have undergone the proper removal of dental amalgam mercury-based fillings, metal-based crowns, and metal-framed removable partial dentures often report remarkable improvements in their overall health. These benefits encompass heightened mental clarity, improved digestion, the disappearance of a metallic taste in the mouth, reduced frequency and severity of TMJ symptoms, enhanced quality of sleep, a sense of alleviated physical burden, increased joint mobility, and diminished pain. Women have also experienced enhanced female functions with reduced pain and cramping.

Opting for natural-looking teeth rather than unsightly silver fillings contributes to a positive self-image, enhanced confidence, and an overall sense of self-assuredness.

Similar to how certain individuals may react negatively to prescription drugs, some people may exhibit adverse reactions to specific dental materials. This bio-incompatibility can trigger severe allergic responses and contribute to conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic sinusitis, headaches, and various pain syndromes. Frequently, changing the filling can alleviate these distressing symptoms.
