Many people are concerned with the substances that dentists put in their mouths, and are particularly concerned with their safety. Dr. Thein shares your concerns. He is a Los Angeles holistic dentist.
One of his biggest concerns is the mercury that is present in traditional silver fillings. Many people don't realize that what dentists call silver fillings are actually made of silver amalgam, which is a mixture of silver, a few other metals, and mercury. The mercury is about 50 percent of the content. And while many traditional dentists are trying to assure us that these fillings are safe, many patients aren't so sure. Mercury, after all, is a toxic metal that produces subtle nerve damage.
If you would like your amalgam fillings removed, Dr. Thein can help you. He can use isolation techniques to help prevent you from swallowing or inhaling any of the dust.
