We’re A Mercury Free Dental Office

Although the American Dental Association maintains the position that mercury amalgam fillings are safe and acceptable, many scientific studies have demonstrated evidence to the contrary, which casts doubt on this position. Recent studies have shown that the permissible exposure limit to mercury vapor as defined by the US Dept. of Labor/OSHA of .1mg/m3 is greatly exceeded when mercury/amalgam AKA “silver” fillings are placed in a patient’s mouth and that the simple act of eating or brushing one’s teeth while there is a mercury amalgam filling in one’s mouth releases mercury vapor from the filling material.

WHAT ARE AMALGAM FILLINGS?

“Silver” dental amalgam contains 50% mercury. When a person with amalgam chews, mercury vapors are released in the mouth. These vapors enter the person’s bloodstream and are carried into various areas of the body, where they can cause serious damage. In pregnant women, mercury is also carried to the fetus through the bloodstream and breast milk.
