For years, if you were suffering from a cavity, your dentist would place an amalgam in the tooth to fill the space. The filling would protect the tooth from future damage. However, new studies are showing that popular dental amalgams are between 40 and 55% pure elemental mercury and can be dangerous. For this reason, many holistic dentists are now offering mercury filling removal.

Without this service, patients would continue to keep the dangerous materials in their mouth, leaving themselves at risk of severe complications later. If you believe you have mercury fillings in your mouth, talk with your dentist about the mercury filling removal services Brentwood TN offers.

Mercury Filling Removal Services in Brentwood TN

Studies now show that the rate of absorption from just the vapors of mercury is 80%, which is a startling statistic. That’s because studies also show that the rate and number of mercury found in different areas of the body correlate to the number of amalgams in the mouth. Areas affected tend to include:

  • Kidneys
  • Brain tissue
  • Thyroid
  • Adrenal glands
  • Pituitary

Further studies also show that even small yet chronic exposure to mercury can accumulate and create a health hazard. To keep patients safe and reduce their exposure to mercury, there are now mercury filling services in Brentwood TN.

Experience a Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique Today

To keep our patients safe from harm, the Centre for Holistic and Biological Dentistry provides the mercury filling removal services Brentwood TN residents need. We offer a heavy metal detoxification program for our patients to keep you safe both during and after the removal of the fillings. By implementing a safe mercury amalgam removal technique, we can keep our patients out of harm’s way while we remove the filling. This is so crucial because, during mercury filling removal, gases and vapors are still present. Their presence still poses a threat to patients and dentists, so using safe techniques is a must.

For safety reasons, the process for mercury filling removal can include the following:

  • Nutrient supplements
  • A tight rubber barrier around the neck of the tooth
  • A saliva ejector under the barrier to remove the vapor
  • Clean-ups, or high-speed suction next to the tooth
  • A negative ion generator behind the chair to bind up any vapor not caught
  • Large amounts of water on the amalgam
  • Medical oxygen
