Your greatest exposure to mercury vapor from amalgam fillings occurs when they are removed, unless they are safely removed. Theres more to removing mercury fillings than just drilling them out and you should know what can be done to protect you. Having these fillings removed unsafely will expose you to extraordinarily high amounts of mercury, so its vital to your health to find a dentist who removes amalgams in a safe way. And it will be a lot easier to find mercury safe dentists if you know what they do, how they do it, and why.

If you find yourself in this situation, all is not lost, Health Inspired Dentistry will guide you through steps you can take to minimize your exposure to mercury vapor while the fillings are still in your teeth. After we cover all these bases to protect your well being You now may wonder what they should be replaced with.

Mercury is wily. Its vapor sneaks out of amalgam fillings too easily and enters the body. Your body does its best to remove it, but if enough mercury accumulates it can overwhelm the bodys immune system. That means you have to help your body fight this poisonous substance by participating in a mercury detoxification programa program specifically designed to support the bodys effort to remove mercury and help heal the damage.

It is now proven that mercury vapor is released from amalgam fillings and is highly toxic to humans. Yet nearly 50 percent of all general dentists still use them to fill cavities. But if amalgam fillings are so toxic why did the dental profession decide to use them in the first place, and why on earth are dentists still putting them in peoples teeth?

The majority of people dont realize that amalgam fillings are harmful to their health. Most dont even know that 50 percent of their amalgam silver filling is mercury. Still more people dont know that amalgams give off toxic mercury vapor and the fraction who do know, dont realize how much vapor these fillings release when removed without a safe protocol.

Mercury is classified as a neurotoxin, a toxin that specifically targets nerve cells. As such, it can also cause or contribute to emotional and psychological issues, such as depression, anxiety, mood swings and memory loss.

Many scientific studies prove this, but to actually see how much mercury vapor is released from an amalgam filling by an EPA approved mercury vapor analyzer is staggering. We encourage you to share the video with your colleagues or a dentist youd like to help educate about this subject.
