Dangers of Silver Mercury Fillings Clearwater FL

Clearwater, FL holistic dental practice, Natural and Cosmetic Dentistry, prioritizes your overall wellness by safely removing silver mercury fillings using proven biological dentist mercury removal protocols to minimize health risks.

At Natural and Cosmetic Dentistry, we recognize that oral health is deeply connected to overall well-being. Dr. Beata Carlson and Associates integrate this understanding into every patient interaction, educating individuals about the potential dangers of traditional dental materials like silver mercury fillings. These restorations not only affect patient health but can also pose risks to dental professionals and the environment.

We proudly operate as a mercury-free office.

Toxic-free oral health begins with eliminating harmful substances. Silver mercury fillings, often referred to as amalgam, are made from a blend of metals, including tin, copper, silver, and most concerning—mercury.

Mercury is the predominant metal in these fillings, comprising up to 54% of the amalgam. According to the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), even minimal exposure can be hazardous.

Scientific evidence confirms that no level of mercury exposure is safe. These fillings continuously release mercury vapor, especially during activities like chewing, leading to a cumulative buildup in the body that can result in long-term health complications.

The IAOMT cites over 250 symptoms linked to chronic mercury vapor inhalation, including:

Without proper safety measures, drilling out silver mercury fillings can release mercury vapors and fine particles into the air, which may then be absorbed through the skin of both patients and dental staff.

This is why Dr. Beata Carlson and Associates go beyond simply being a “mercury-free” practice. With advanced training and a strong commitment to holistic, biocompatible care, they ensure safe procedures for removing toxic dental materials.

At Natural and Cosmetic Dentistry, we strictly follow the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) as outlined by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). This includes specialized equipment like high-powered suction systems to reduce mercury exposure during treatment.

As part of our biological dentist mercury removal approach, all new fillings are crafted from biocompatible, aesthetically pleasing materials that blend naturally with your smile—no more metallic fillings.
