Below is a check list for the correct protocol ensuring existing amalgam fillings are replaced safely:

Slurry of charcoal, chlorella, or similar adsorbent for patient to rinse and swallow before the procedure
Full body, impermeable barrier, as well as full head/face/neck barrier under/around the dam
External air or oxygen delivered via a nasal canuula.
Dental dam made with non-latex nitrile material placed and properly sealed in the patient’s mouth
Saliva ejector placed under the dental dam
At source oral aerosol vacuum in close proximity to patient’s mouth(high volume suction)
Copious amounts of water to reduce heat and ahigh volume suction to capture mercury discharges.
Section amalgam into chunks and remove in as large of pieces as possible, using a small diameter carbide drill
After removal, the patient’s mouth should be thoroughly flushed with water and then rinsed out with a slurry of charcoal, chlorella or similar adsorbent
We will also recommend supplements which can be taken to help support your immune system following the removal of mercury containing fillings.
Dentair Purifiers are used for external ventilation, helping to reduce airborne particles during treatment.

The Health and Safety Executive states:

Amalgam fillings contain mercury, which is confirmed to be a neurotoxic material. Less hazardous substitutes should be used whenever possible.

More recently, the British Dental Association has released a statement saying that more research needs to be carried out to ensure safety of amalgam fillings.

The UK Department of Health advises all dentists not to remove or replace amalgam fillings in pregnant women; if you are currently pregnant and are interested in mercury filling removal, we advise that you wait until after the birth for replacing silver fillings with composite (white fillings).

We agree with the body of opinion that mercury can produce serious side effects in susceptible individuals, and offer our mercury filling removal treatments for peace of mind when it comes to your health.
