The Mercury Free Dentistry
Why would anyone want to seek out a dentist who practices mercury free dentistry?
Each day more news emerges about the harmful effects that mercury has on the human body. Even small amounts of it can damage cells. Mercury toxicity in the body has been associated with speech disturbances, impaired hearing, tremors, and changes in personality, infertility immune system dysfunctions, brain cancer and a plethora of other physical disorders.
For years, we have heard warnings about eating fish that swim in mercury contaminated waters. Additionally, some types of glass necklace pendants that are imported from Mexico contain mercury that can be absorbed into the skin when worn. A broken thermometer can inadvertently expose someone to mercury. However, there is another way to be exposed to mercury, a much more common way, and that is trough metal dental fillings, and this argues the case for mercury free dentistry.
Silver-colored amalgam fillings contain approximately 50% mercury. The remaining 50% is made from a powdered version of copper, zinc, tin and silver. A growing number of experts are expressing their concerns these days, that small amounts of mercury vapor is released from the fillings when they are exposed to hot substances such as tea and coffee, or when food is chewed. There is ample argument for the case that mercury might cause kidney damage or neurological problems, especially pregnant women and children.
As public awareness grows, mercury free dentistry is being favored as the safer way to achieve healthy dental care. In 2006, a group of experts who examined research ordered by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) rejected a report that concluded that metal dental fillings are safe. Think about it. Before metal fillings go into someone’s mouth, the metal is considered to be highly dangerous. After a filling is removed, it is classified as hazardous waste. Why would anyone want to walk around with mercury embedded in his or her teeth when there is a safer and more attractive alternative? Biocompatible materials are a much more reasonable alternative to mercury and other potentially toxic substances.
It is often the case that the silver-colored fillings that contain mercury will be riddled with cracks and have edges that leak. Additionally, the natural structures of these teeth are compromised. Fortunately, there are new, much safer materials that are also quite aesthetically pleasing. These materials become bonded to the tooth in a way that restores the tooth to its original beauty and function and replaces most of the tooth strength that was formerly lost.
Mercury free dentistry is slowly being replaced by biocompatible dentistry, a practice that is safer and more compatible with healthy living. The number of available options for tooth care and restoration has grown considerably over the last few years as a more holistic approach to dental care has evolved.
While the issue of mercury free dentistry is arguably controversial, the simple approach of taking fewer chances with one’s overall health is reason enough to choose a dentist who practices mercury free dentistry. Why take chances?
