While some still argue that amalgam is perfectly safe for humans, we at Dentistry for Health NY disagree. Although the American Dental Association has deemed amalgam safe for fillings and other dental restorations, holistic dentists know better and recommend silver amalgam removal. The amalgam used by dentists contains 50 percent mercury.

Mercury is a reproductive and neurotoxin that releases vapors when:

• The amalgam is placed in the tooth
• You chew
• You brush
• You grind or clench your teeth

People with silver amalgam restorations have higher mercury levels than those who have amalgam-free fillings. Although silver amalgam isn’t safe for anyone, some are particularly at risk.

Those who are more likely to develop mercury sensitivities or mercury poisoning include:

• Children
• Women who are ready to bear children
• Infants who are breastfed
• People who suffer from kidney impairments
• People who are genetically susceptible to metals
• People who suffer from neurological disorders
• People who were or are still exposed to other mercury sources
• People who are hypersensitive
• People who suffer from allergies
• People with other metal or metals in their mouth
• Dental professionals

All dental professionals who are exposed to amalgam during silver amalgam removal and basic dental work are at risk when it comes to mercury sensitivity, or mercury poisoning.

Here at Dentistry for Health NY we are specially trained in safe silver amalgam removal methods that will keep both you and our dental team safe from mercury exposure.
