Mercury Detox

How Many Dentists Use Mercury Fillings?  

The answer to this question is rather alarming. About half of practicing dentists in the United States still use mercury-containing materials for their fillings - a substance banned from dentistry in most European countries and Japan.  

If you have an amalgam or silver filling, the chances are that there are traces of mercury being released into your system.

Why Is Mercury Dangerous?  

Recent research indicated that the cumulative effect of the mercury in your body is devastating. Changes in the body’s organ function and chemistry have been linked to the presence of teeth with amalgam fillings. Exposure to mercury can harm your brain, heart, kidneys, lungs and weaken your immune system regardless of age.  

Mercury exposure has been associated with several adverse health conditions, including:  

• Alzheimer’s disease  
• Autism spectrum disorders  
• Recurring headaches
• Insomnia
• Heart disease
• Miscarriage
• Changes in personality  

How Does Mercury Detox Work?  

Mercury detox can be accomplished through various methods depending on your level of exposure. May times biologic physicians will recommend our patients to undergo chelation after SMART protocol mercury amalgam removal. The chelators will bind to mercury and other heavy metal molecules throughout your body to help eradicate them out of your system.
