Many patients have heard the term “ mercury toxicity ” associated with fillings but still have many questions about it: what is it, am I affected by it, and what can be done to remediate it? Fillings are made of a substance called dental amalgam. This is a mixture of metals, consisting primarily of mercury. Mercury amalgam has been used as a dental filling material around the world since ancient times and in the United States for nearly 200 years. Mercury toxicity, also called mercury poisoning, is caused by a high level of mercury in the body. The presence of mercury has been shown to cause wide range of chronic and acute health problems affecting all major systems in the body; neurological, gastrointestinal, immune, and cardiovascular problems have been attributed to mercury toxicity, as has damage to major organs such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The question of whether or not  mercury amalgam fillings  contribute to mercury exposure is hotly debated. Many dentists bel...

 Mercury, the only metallic element that is a liquid under standard temperature and pressure conditions, is widely utilized in many industries and processes. It has been used as a component of dental amalgam since ancient times and is found in fluorescent tubes and thermometers. Mercury toxicity symptoms are many; mercury poisoning takes a heavy toll on the body, affecting the neurological and central nervous systems, as well as the gastrointestinal, immune, neuromuscular, and cardiovascular systems. A wide variety of symptoms is attributed to toxicity resulting from mercury amalgam. This list includes but is not limited to: Headache, fatigue, loss of concentration, irritability, depression, insomnia, and dizziness Diverticulosis, stomach cramps, bloating, loss of appetite, and gastrointestinal disturbances Muscle fatigue and tremors, sciatic and chest pains, leg cramps, joint pain, and tachycardia Oral health problems, such as bad breath, blisters/sores, tender teeth, and ble...

  Pediatric tooth decay  is on the rise. Some research suggests that systemic causes—including radiation exposure, hormonal abnormalities, and foreign proteins in food—are to blame. Hypomineralization, caused mainly by a diet inadequate in minerals, increases a child’s susceptibility to decay. Tooth decay in children falls into distinct categories: Baby teeth versus adult teeth Anterior (front) vs. posterior (back) tooth patterns Contra-lateral tooth patterns Decay clustering Post-eruption susceptibility A  pediatric dental wellness program  helps your child to learn the lessons of proper health maintenance and nutritional habits that prevent dental disease. You can bring your child for his or her first dental exam after all the baby teeth are in—generally, between ages three and five. Our  pediatric wellness program  begins with a three-part, comprehensive exam that checks tooth diagnosis, jaw development diagnosis, and periodontal diagnosis. The tooth dia...

 When the element mercury accumulates to a high concentration in the body, it can lead to a variety of acute and chronic medical problems, including organ damage and compromise of major bodily systems. Because of the widespread usage of mercury in dental amalgam materials, many people are susceptible to mercury toxicity and its associated health issues. Dentists and toxicologists are divided over the extent of the danger posed by mercury amalgam fillings. Even those who agree that mercury amalgam is hazardous are further divided over whether the safer protocol is to remove them or to leave them untouched. Paradoxically, improper removal of old fillings can cause greater exposure to mercury. Dentists who focus on  safe amalgam removal  must receive specialized training in the practice; they also follow government guidelines for containment of mercury vapor during the procedure and disposal of mercury-containing materials afterward. Mercury toxicity  is a health proble...

Childhood, when permanent teeth began to grow, is the best time to  teach youngsters good oral hygiene habits  and how to make wise nutritional choices. By learning how to prevent compromising the enamel, the hard substance that covers teeth, children can minimize and perhaps prevent the dental problems that plague many adults. Some studies have demonstrated that certain foods, medical conditions, and bacteria can initiate decay other studies assert that, although those factors may start the decay process, they do not contribute the formation of cavities. Pediatric tooth decay is on the rise. Some research suggests that systemic causes including radiation exposure, hormonal abnormalities, and foreign proteins in food are to blame.
