Amalgam Fillings Removal & Replacement

For years, patients around the world have experienced the use of amalgam in standard dental treatments. More specifically, the substance was traditionally used as a durable and inexpensive material in dental fillings. Unfortunately, amalgam has since been discovered to contain high levels of mercury, a problem that’s linked to a variety of ailments and heavy metal toxicities. Since then, many countries have outlawed the use of amalgam, and amalgam removal & replacement services have become commonplace amongst dental practices throughout the country. If you have amalgam-based fillings, it may be time for you to consider updating to a more aesthetically pleasing, less potentially toxic alternative via this holistic dentistry service.

What You Should Know About Amalgam Removal & Replacement

• Find out if your dentist offers the service. Particularly when you’re dealing with dentists that have been practicing for a long time, you’re likely to hear that amalgam removal & replacement is not necessary, provides limited benefits, and the link between mercury and detrimental health issues has been greatly exaggerated. Not all dentists perform amalgam removal & replacement services, and some may even advise you against it. However, it pays to take the time to shop around and find someone who is truly an expert in the field.

• Make certain your dentist has a track record of success with mercury-free treatment. Removing your existing amalgamated fillings and replacing them with a newer option isn’t always a simple process, and, particularly if you’ve had extensive dental work performed in the past, you don’t want to trust someone with limited experience in the field. During the process, the mercury is actually evaporated in a way that can expose the patient to extremely high levels of the substance, levels considered unsafe by the EPA. Experience and caution are of the utmost concern.

• Learn about the health risks, and why amalgam removal & replacement can improve your life. While the evidence linking amalgam removal & replacement to a higher quality of life isn’t the most conclusive, many physicians suspect daily exposure to mercury as causes for a number of ailments, including cancers. Talk to your dentist and physicians about the risks and rewards of replacing your fillings with newer, healthier fillings – like porcelain tooth fillings.
