Do you know what’s in your fillings?

“Silver” filling dental amalgams are actually composed of approximately 50% mercury.

The type of mercury used in such cases is bioaccumulative, meaning it can build up in your system via low-level mercury vapor emission––a process that, in certain people, has the potential to prove toxic over time.

Symptoms of mercury toxicity can include fatigue, headaches, insomnia, memory impairment, kidney problems, cardiovascular problems, tremors, and more. Those who might be at greater health risk when exposed to mercury include pregnant women and people with pre-existing neurological disease or kidney dysfunction.

As a result of the above, some patients with silver/mercury fillings are opting to have their amalgams removed. However, removal procedures should always be approached with the utmost caution.

What is SMART filling removal?

SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) is a minimally-invasive approach to amalgam removal. Following the SMART procedure can significantly reduce the amount of mercury to which the patient and dental staff are exposed.

Dr. Hadadi is the first dentist in Cypress, TX to be certified for SMART.

Safety equipment and materials used:

• Face drape

• Full-body drapes

• Nasal mask with 100% medical grade oxygen to reduce mercury respiration

• Oral aerosol vacuum with mercury filters

• Rubber dam to prevent amalgam particles from reaching inside the mouth

• Activated charcoal rinse
