Mercury Fillings

Amalgam Removal  »  Mercury Fillings

It is the composition of amalgam that raises health concerns.The mercury content is 50% of amalgam. We know mercury vapour is released from amalgam fillings and here is the problem.

What dose of Mercury should we be exposed to? The answer must surely be none.

As it is well known, mercury is a toxic element and in all circumstances it should be handled with extreme care. it is now accepted that mercury vapour escapes from amalgam fillings and amounts are passed into the bloodstream and organs.

Mercury vapour is released during chewing as well as placement and removal of these fillings. If your amalgams are to be removed, they need to be done safely and carefully.
