Published By Dr. Rachel Hall at 9 November, 2024

Amalgam removal saved my life. I have never had an amalgam filling but my decision to stop placing them and removed them safely changed my whole career and approach to dentistry. I went from bored, burnout and disillusioned to having a passion for dentistry, patient care and making it my mission to help and empower people to have great dental health and wellness.

From Amalgam to Mercury-Free: A Dentist’s Perspective

As a dentist, I’ve seen the evolution of dental materials over the years. One significant shift has been the growing awareness and concern surrounding amalgam fillings, a dental material containing mercury.

When I first began practicing, amalgam was the standard choice for fillings. It was durable, affordable, and relatively easy to use. However, as research on mercury’s potential health risks emerged, I started to question the long-term implications of using this material.

I began to delve deeper into the literature on mercury toxicity and the potential for bioaccumulation in the body. The more I learned, the more convinced I became that it was important to offer my patients alternative options.

Transitioning to mercury-free dentistry was a significant step. It required additional training, investment in new equipment, and a commitment to educating patients about the benefits of these materials. However, the rewards have been immense.

Amalgam Removal The Impact On Health

Witnessing the positive impact on patients’ health and well-being has been incredibly gratifying. Many patients report feeling better, experiencing fewer headaches, and having improved energy levels after removing their amalgam fillings.

While mercury-free fillings may have a higher initial cost, the long-term benefits often outweigh the financial considerations. By choosing mercury-free materials, patients are investing in their overall health and well-being.

As a dentist, I’m proud to be part of a movement toward safer, healthier dentistry. By offering mercury-free options, I can provide my patients with the best possible care and contribute to a healthier future.
