As a Mercury safe dentist, we are aware of the potential for excess exposure to mercury when removing amalgam fillings, and have adapted a number of protocols for reducing the amount of mercury exposure to the patients who are interested, during amalgam removal.
Our protocol consists of the following safety procedures recommended by IOAMT:
Mercury separator which prevents 99% of mercury going out into the waste water. Amalgam separators are devices that are installed on dental unit vacuum lines in order to catch all waste amalgam and other solid materials, before it is discharged into the public sewer system.
The main reason why it is now important to reduce amalgam waste discharge from dental office comes from the urgency of local wastewater treatment plants to lower their mercury output.
The American Dental Association’s “Best Management Practices for Amalgam Waste“ (BMPs) include the use of amalgam separators. Although there is no national regulation requiring the installation of amalgam separators, here at Dynamic Dental Wellness, we practice Green Dentistry and want to take great care of our patients and environment.
If you have questions about mercury, mercury toxicity or symptoms of mercury toxicity contact us for more information.
Mercury: The Poison in Your Teeth offers conclusive and quantitative proof that not only do amalgam/silver fillings release toxic mercury vapor – but that the common act of brushing just one amalgam filling will release more mercury than allowed by governmental regulatory agencies at the workplace.
The International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD) was founded in 1998 by Dr. Tom McGuire, the leading authority on Mercury Safe Dentistry. Membership is comprised of dentists who are holistic, Mercury Free (Amalgam/Silver Filling Free), and Occupationally Mercury Safe.
Our dental practice is dedicated to educating our patients. As a member of International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD) we work closely with the association to support our goal of providing important information to our patients about many oral health topics that can affect overall health, including issues related to mercury amalgam (silver) fillings.
