Dental amalgams are not entirely “harmless” fillings.
Indeed, they are composed of 52% of mercury (the rest being silver, tin, zinc, copper).

In light of the studies on the dangerousness of mercury,
many countries have banned the use of dental amalgam for several years. Mercury thermometers are no longer manufactured, for example.

In the same direction:

• Asbestos is prohibited in the building industry because it causes serious lung pathologies.
• Lead-based paints were removed because of their toxic effects.
• Glyphosates will soon follow suit
  because of their carcinogenic effects… …all these substances have been used extensively for years without apparent problem. Only after several decades of use are certain products revealed to be detrimental to health. As they age, dental amalgams easily allow bacteria to pass through, causing the recurrence of caries (painless because they are progressive and not exposed to temperature variations).

As they age, dental amalgam fillings easily allow bacteria to pass through, which leads to recurrence of cavities (painless because they are progressive and not exposed to temperature variations).

This progression often leads to fractures of the tooth or painful instances.

After a certain number of years, the amalgam also tends toincrease in volume.. This expansion, which is often more significant than the dental tissue can handle, also leads to a fracture within the teeth. When the fracture affects the roots, the tooth is unfortunately lost..

Removing old amalgams is a central preventive act for oral and general health.

Carefulremoval of amalgams is carried out according to a specific protocol to minimize the ingestion of particles and not to upset the body with drastic changes. Your old fillings are replaced by composite resins (white) or ceramic made by 3D processes (extremely strong, precise and durable).

By spectrophotometry (light rays), we can verify your degree of heavy metal intoxication. This examination (totally painless) is repeated once the amalgams have been removed and nutrient detoxification protocol is completed.. That allows us to verify that the excess mercury has been removed.

Do not hesitate to ask your dentist for more information.
