This is one of the truly controversial areas in dentistry today! Much is said pro and con, and there may be no clear dividing line! The decision to have mercury containing fillings removed must be based on the best and most complete information available.

This office consistently works with a medical practitioner and follows the protocols and procedures deemed most appropriate by the research people, Their recommendations can change from time to time as more information is unearthed.

Our office prides itself in keeping up to date with the latest research and development with relation to mercury removals. One thing that this office believes most heartily, though, is that there is no safe place to store mercury other than in a toxic waste dump. Some of the population can get by with some mercury in their bodies; others cannot. Most people fall somewhere between these two extremes...and with varying reactions, sometimes unobserved and sometimes with increasing signs.

If a patient makes the decision to remove mercury fillings, the treatment will proceed in a very orderly manner with a full medical examination and support, and will be completed in a controlled environment with appropriate medication protocols.
