Recently the Dr. Oz show featured Dr. Joseph Mercola D.O., discussing concern over “silver” mercury amalgam fillings, which contain 50% mercury. Concern for mercury fillings is reasonable because mercury is a toxin, and may affect overall health.
Concern for Mercury Fillings is Reasonable
The biological dentists at NIHA have been aware of the possible dangers of mercury amalgams, or fillings, for over 30 years and have not used these toxic materials in our mercury free, mercury safe dental practice since understanding the dangers. Biological dentists respect that the mouth is an integral part of the entire body, and use bio-compatible dental materials so that dental treatments impact the rest of the body as little as possible.
Did you know that the smallest amount of mercury is toxic, and can accumulate in bodily tissues and may contribute to a wide range of issues? Whenever one chews, drinks, breathes and swallows with mercury fillings, a small amount of mercury vapor is released, as illustrated in this video by IAOMT, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, and Dr. Tom McGuire, Mercury, the Poison in your Teeth.
If you are concerned about mercury fillings in your mouth please see a medical doctor trained to assess mercury levels in the body and detoxification protocols.
NIHA’s biological dentists work in conjunction with the medical doctors at NIHA to address the possible root cause of health issues, which may include toxic heavy metals such as mercury. The biological dentist uses the latest equipment and safest protocol for removal of mercury to protect your health, the dentist, and the environment.
Being mercury free is only part of the issue. Another important concern about mercury fillings is Removing the mercury filling safely, if asked to do by the patient. This is the most important part, as we must protect the patient, the dentist, and the environment from mercury exposure. NIHA is set up to do this the best way possible.
Safe Removal of Mercury Fillings
NIHA protocols for the Safe Removal of Mercury Fillings have been in place for over 25 years and surpass the patient protection standards developed by other biological dental organizations. Patients from all over the United States have sought out our standard for Safe Mercury Removal services.
Recognize that the dental removal of mercury from your mouth is only the first step to removing mercury. As mercury may be absorbed elsewhere in the body, heavy metal and toxic chemical detoxification can begin only when the sources of toxicity are first removed from your mouth and environment.
As biological dentists concerned for your overall health, we are pleased to see this important health issue getting more news coverage.
