Let’s take a holistic approach to mercury fillings. Ever wonder if those silver fillings in your smile might be affecting your overall well-being? In today’s blog, we’ll explore mercury fillings from a holistic perspective, considering the potential health effects and safe removal options.
At our practice Evolve Dental Holistic Dentist Brisbane, we take a holistic approach to dentistry, focusing on your overall well-being and minimising any potential harm. Today, let’s discuss mercury fillings, also known as amalgam fillings.
Amalgam fillings have been widely used in dentistry for many years due to their durability and cost-effectiveness. They contain mercury as part of their composition.
The amount of mercury released from amalgam fillings is generally considered to be very low and within established safety limits. However, some individuals may have concerns or sensitivities regarding mercury exposure.
Mercury exposure from various sources has been associated with health effects such as neurological symptoms, fatigue, headaches and digestive issues. It is important to note that this information relates to mercury exposure in general and does not imply that dental amalgam fillings cause these conditions.
Modern dentistry offers a variety of safe and effective alternatives to mercury fillings. These materials are not only biocompatible, meaning they are compatible with your body, but they also offer a more aesthetically pleasing solution as well as a holistic approach to mercury fillings. Some popular options include:
