Dental amalgam is a mixture of silver and tin plus other metals mixed with 50% mercury. Once combined as amalgam the mercury is supposedly bound within the filling material.
However, research shows that mercury escapes and can accumulate in your system.
Please note we are not claiming that dental amalgam makes you sick.
Many of the patients who seek amalgam removal treatment with Holistic Dentistry Brisbane do so due to medical reasons and health concerns.
It is our recommendation that:
Patients avoid having further amalgam fillings placed as there are many other filling materials available that are equally durable making the need to use amalgam obsolete. and
If amalgam needs to be removed, for example, because there is decay or a problem with the filling, that it is done following our safe amalgam removal guidelines.
