Surrey's Southridge Dental recognizes the impact that materials such as mercury amalgam fillings may have on general and dental health.
Our Surrey dentistry practice uses materials and procedures which are Mercury Free and are safe for both you and the environment. We also help our Surrey dental clients with the removal of these unwanted "silver" dental amalgams
Should Silver/Mercury Amalgam Fillings Be Removed?
As part of our thorough new patient examination, we look at everything from the health of both your facial muscles, lip position, tmj, mouth opening, bones, gums and finally the teeth.
In examining the teeth we examine any existing fillings/restorations, whether Mercury or Mercury Free, to determine their health and the health of the tooth that they are located in.
Only if the restorations in the associated teeth are showing any reason to be replaced due to associated cavities, fracture, or any other similar reasons will we recommend that they be replaced.
Furthermore, naturopathic physicians are now testing patients for mercury toxicity and referring them to Surrey's Southridge Dental to have mercury amalgam fillings removed.
Across various health and scientific disciplines, professionals are beginning to realize mercury may well be impacting patients' health on several levels.
How Does Surrey's Southridge Dental Go About Removing Mercury Amalgam Fillings?
Southridge Dental tends to work closely with conventional and holistic health practitioners. It is imperative that chronically ill patients seek advice from a physician knowledgeable in mercury toxicity.
To prevent additional mercury exposure, our dental practice is fully equipped with an efficient vacuum and air system designed specifically for mercury amalgam removal.
Our process also involves applying large amounts of water and removing the amalgam in large segments to minimize mercury vapour and amalgam particulate. Lastly, Southridge Dental recycles all used mercury with an amalgam separator to protect the environment.
