New Film Exposes the Truth Behind Mercury Dental Fillings

Not only are silver fillings dangerous for patients, exposure to mercury is also toxic for everyone in the office when they are attending to a patient with silver amalgams. In fact, toxic exposure during routine dental procedures violates many workplace safety laws. An astonishing 170,000 dentists across the United States still work with amalgams while refusing to acknowledge the harm they are imposing on their patients, their staff, and themselves. Most of this is due to erroneous claims that amalgams don’t release mercury. Watch the trailer here!

Dentsply Urged to Cease Production of Toxic Dental Amalgam

Dentsply Urged to Cease Production of Toxic Dental AmalgamDentsply International, a leading supplier of many quality dental supplies and equipment, has been issued a wake-up call. At the end of last month, the organization was urged publicly to phase-out the production of dental amalgam, a toxic material known to contain upwards of 50% mercury content. The plea for the phase-out comes just months after 140 nations signed an international mercury treaty, agreeing to do their part in reducing the production, disposal, and adverse impact the material has on both the environment and dental patients.

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.

Comments by Dr. Ted Herrmann:

Once the toxicity of mercury enters the bloodstream, it races through the blood and to each major organ. The damage that inhaled mercury can cause is permanent and deadly, however, it can be avoided altogether. Consulting a dentist about safe mercury filling removal is the best way to avoid developing extremely harmful health conditions.
