Dental Amalgam 101

Dental amalgam is the proper term to refer to the silver material that is used in dental procedures like fillings. This material is actually a combination of mercury and at least one other metal, like tin. Invented in France in the early 1800s, dental amalgam has remained a popular filling agent because of its strength. However, experts at the World Health Organization have made a clear assertion: Mercury from dental amalgam feeds more mercury into a person’s body system than any other source combined, prompting many to seek safe amalgam removal.

A Heartfelt Plea For Mercury Filling Removal

miami-dentist-heartfelt-plea-safe-mercury-removalWhen it comes to mercury and your body, each major organ system is at risk. The heart and cardiac system, however, are particularly susceptible to poisoning from mercury.

Consulting a dentist about safe mercury filling removal is the best way to avoid developing extremely harmful health conditions.

Amalgam (Silver) Fillings and Holistic Health

Could you be inhaling poisonous vapor? If you have amalgam (silver) fillings, you most likely are.
