Mercury Removal

Mercury Removal

Law prohibits health care providers from recommending that mercury fillings be removed due to health concerns; but I can advocate mercury filling removal because they crack teeth. Here’s our procedure for safe mercury removal as recommended by the International Academy of Oral Medical Toxicology (IAOMT).
 
Mercury Removal:
●      Use of a non-latex rubber dam to prevent you from swallowing any debris
●      Pure oxygen canula to prevent mercury vapor inhalation
●      High volume evacuator at the site for initial debris removal with continuous water irrigation
●      Secondary evacuation outside the mouth via mercury-trapping air filtration
●      Slow, soft drilling to prevent an aerosolized mercury plume
●      Waste-water mercury trap to protect our delta and bay
 
Your health is important to us which is why we follow these guidelines set forth by the IAOMT.
