Safe amalgam filling removal by biological dentist in Tucson, AZ

Our protocol for removal of amalgam fillings

Before your treatment

• Prior to your appointment, we will ask you to start taking Vitamin C, ZINC, AND SELENIUM to help detoxify your cells and tissues
• When you come in, we will have you rinse with oral activated charcoal, which binds to any mercury present and prevents it from being absorbed in your digestive tract or oral tissues
• We offer mercury and heavy metal blood testing both before and after your amalgam removal procedure
• We will cover you with a waterproof sheet to protect your skin and clothes, as well as use a soft dental dam to isolate the tooth in your mouth and a dental dam napkin to protect your face and eyes

During the procedure

• We use ozonated water while we are removing the filling to reduce the number of mercury particles in the area
• We are equipped with the Dental HG FlexVac™ from IQAir and use it to quickly suction any ultra-fine particles away from your mouth so you don’t inhale or absorb them; this device also serves the double purpose of filtering out microbes such as harmful bacteria and viruses from the area
• Our Tact-Air 10-8 mercury vapor ionizer releases billions of negative ions per second to capture any mercury vapor that is in the air
• We use medical-grade oxygen for a supplemental air source throughout the treatment
• Our high-volume evacuation system encloses the treatment area and suctions away any small particles from the filling as it is being removed
