Safe And Effective Amalgam/Mercury Removal

We request that you be seen for a comprehensive cleaning, exam and X-rays with our trained staff so we may create a treatment plan unique to your needs. We also utilize galvanic (electrical) readings to prioritize your mercury removals by replacing the amalgam fillings which are emitting the highest electrical currents first.

When removing mercury (amalgam) fillings, we use a latex-free dental-dam to eliminate harful exposure to the mucose and digestive tract. The doctor removes the old mercury fillings by sectioning them with a dental handpiece with copious water and high volume suction. The doctor then removes all decay (which is nearly always present under amalgam fillings), and the tooth is then ready to be filled with composite resin.

We look forward to helping you achieve your optimal dental health and overall well-being. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have!

The following information has been provided by Healthy You Detox and Wellness Center.

Amalgam fillings, made of mercury and other junk metals, bathe your brain and digestive tract in mercury. Mercury is the 2nd most toxic element on earth, second to plutonium. There are two significant ways that the amalgam dental fillings can cause damage to the biological make-up of our human core.

  1. Mercury vapor emitted from amalgam dental fillings passes readily through your cell membranes.
  2. Mercury leaches into the saliva and travels down our digestive tract.
  3. Because the onset of the immune system gets initiated by the gut; the byproduct of mercury is swallowed into the digestive tract and blocks the body's major detoxification pathways: passage out through the GI tract.

Our mercury detox protocol involves therapies provided by the Healthy You Detox Center.

Listed below are the actions that have to take place to eliminate metal toxins from the body.

  1. Boost Your Glutathione Production
  2. Mobilize Mercury by Boosting Enzymes and Transport Proteins
  3. Capture & Eliminate Mercury with Intestinal Binders

Other Recommendations

  • Quit smoking
  • Garlic is especially powerful, but it's the oil of garlic that supports detoxification. Either eat the garlic raw being sure to fully chew the clove to release the oils or purchase a garlic oil supplement.
  • You must limit or avoid sugar, alcohol and caffeine.
  • Drink at least 3 liters of water per day, PH 7.4 or higher equals alkalinity.
  • Utilize a proper exercise and resting program.
  • Infrared saunas at 120° F for 20-30 minutes & immediate soapy scrub/rinse. Do not stay in sauna once you experience dizziness, disorientation, or fatigue. Recommending at least 6 treatments. Available at Healthy You!
  • Eat a good balance of fresh whole foods, eliminating processed and modified foods.
  • Eliminate all fish and seafood, including seafood products, especially tuna. One seafood meal per week can double the average mercury level in the blood.
  • Do not eat pork products.

Supplements

Dosages vary with the individual and should be determined by a qualified health care provider based on tests and symptomology. The following is a partial list of vitamins, herbs, minerals and glandular supports that are often used in mercury detoxification. Vitamins A, E, C, amino acids (Cysteine and methionine), folic acid, digestive enzymes, fatty acids, iodine, zinc, magnesium, manganese, potassium, chromium, sulfur, glutathione peroxidace, B complex, garlic, CoEnzyme Q 10, germanium, black currant seed oil, thyroid, pituitary, and a number of herbs.

*It is important to know that high volumes of vitamin C can interfere with the profound affects of local anesthetic in some patients. You may consider reducing your vitamin C one to two days prior to dental visits.

Chlorella- Excellent binding agent for heavy metal removal, generally available at health food stores. Dosage of chlorella is, from a bottle of 100 capsules, one per day for one week, then two per day for one week, then three per day for one week, etc., up to seven per day until gone. The digestive intake of the pill form usually takes enormous quantities for many years to see benefits however you can prepare Chlorella into a mouth rinse. This will bind to any mercury that is coating your oral epithelium, normally prior to removal of metal restorations and post operative removal of mercury.

Every patient needs a trusted local dentist to maintain good oral health. We invite you to choose The Holistic Dental Center for your family’s everyday dental care needs.

I wouldn't go anywhere else. The Holistic Dental Center helps me keep my teeth, healthy, clean and does it in a way that I feel comfortable with. They helped me to get the last couple mercury fillings I had removed to make sure that my body stays healthy and clear of heavy metals. Dr. Simmons also has some great jokes :)

I have been seeing Dr. Simmons for a number of years and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. I just completed the ceramic implant process and it has been amazing and I couldn't be happier. His staff is friendly and professional. I appreciate the holistic approach to dental care. Highly recommended.
