Amalgam / Mercury Filling Removal

The health care community has recently learned of the potential negative health effects of having mercury-based fillings in our teeth. Based on clear evidence, the use of this toxic heavy metal in fillings is generally contraindicated. Many people are now opting to remove their old amalgam/mercury laden fillings and to have them replaced with healthier alternatives.  

The Head Pain Clinic at Total Wellness Centre is here to support your health should you choose to make this decision.

The mercury in “silver” fillings that has been commonly used for many decades is now being linked to a host of different problems. From neurological problems, to Alzheimer’s disease, to gastrointestinal problems, the list is growing. Although there is no direct medical evidence linking the cause of each specific ailment to these amalgam fillings, it is obvious that having a toxic substance in the mouth can be dangerous. 

If you decide to have your fillings replaced, it is of the utmost importance to find a dental practitioner that will SAFELY and completely remove the old fillings before putting in the alternative compound. There are many steps to consider when carrying out the process with a healthier endpoint in mind. The intended result is that you, the patient will not be harmed any more by mercury. Proper removal is a central part of this. For a detailed list of the protocol you should expect, click on the following link
