Dental Amalgam

Silver amalgam fillings don't just contain silver. They are also made of zinc, tin, aluminum, and 50% mercury. Replacing these fillings with other non-metal materials can improve your health. It is important to only have amalgam fillings removed by a dentist that can do it safely and thus releasing the least amount of heavy metals into your body in the process.

HEALTH COMPLAINTS BEFORE AND AT ONE AND FIVE YEARS AFTER REMOVAL OF DENTAL AMALGAM RESTORATIONS-DATA FROM A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY IN NORWAY

​In this study reduction of the intensity of symptoms after removal of amalgam restorations was observed, which suggests a possible dose–response relationship.

A SAFE PROTOCOL FOR AMALGAM REMOVAL

Doctors and individuals request the removal of their amalgam (silver mercury) restorations due to the high mercury content. A safe protocol to replace the silver mercury filling will ensure that there is minimal if any absorption of materials while being removed. Strong alternative white composite and lab-processed materials are available today to create a healthy and functioning mouth. Preparation of the patient prior to the procedure and after treatment is vital to establish the excretion of the mercury from the body.

The following is a list of outcomes that I repeatedly hear from my patients over the years. Although I have not scientifically collected them, after amalgam removal and detoxification, they have also been reported in the literature. Comments include that

1. patients no longer have a metallic taste in their mouth;
2. patients feel as if they have more energy;
3. patients are able to concentrate better and make decisions easier (the “brain fog” is gone);
4. their body responds better to other treatments, as if a barrier has been lifted.

To achieve effective results one must include an integrative approach with a physician and health care team with attention to detoxification and diet over several months, with laboratory tests to monitor progress.
