Safe Silver Amalgam Filling Removal

For safe removal of mercury amalgam fillings, you want a dentist who is trained to remove each amalgam filling safely, and trained to replace the old mercury fillings with safe porcelain, gold or composite fillings.   Many people choose to remove their silver fillings and replace them with composite or porcelain for aesthetic reasons (composites and porcelain fillings can be made in many shades of white to create a filling that is nearly identical to the original tooth colour).  But there are other benefits to silver amalgam removal too – your health and the health of the environment.  Each silver amalgam filling is approximately 50% mercury mixed with silver, tin, zinc, and copper.  Mercury is a highly toxic substance.  The vapours from the mercury in your teeth are constantly being released and absorbed by your body.  The amount increases whenever you eat, chew gum, grind your teeth, drink hot beverages, etc.   Dental mercury also ends up in our ground water and landfills by passing through our bodies, by burial & cremation of persons with mercury fillings, and by waste material from dental offices. View the infographic below to see the many ways dentists contribute close to 30 tons of mercury into environment every year in the United States alone. Imagine the global impact!
