There is ample evidence that mercury from amalgam fillings is released as vapor when chewing, grinding your teeth or consuming hot liquids. This mercury is found in your major organs, but there is currently no evidence that it causes or contributes to a specific disease or problem. The reason most patients want to replace their amalgam fillings is to remove this source of internal pollution. Dr. Tortora has lectured to the holistic and naturopathic communities, organizations of practicing dentists, and holistic groups on the topic. In addition, he engaged the U.S. Public Health and Integrated Toxicology Division to pursue the banning of dental amalgam.
Dr. Tortora’s ongoing practice of eliminating mercury for over 35 years is his most significant and satisfying contribution to the health of his patients.
During the removal of your amalgam fillings, mercury vapor will be released due to the drilling process. Our dentists will use a high-volume suction and a complete flushing of particles to remove almost all of this vapor from your mouth. We also place a rubber protector over the mouth opening and use a nose mask with oxygen to bring the removal exposure to essentially zero.
Amalgam Removal Detoxification
We also offer detoxification options. Supplements for detoxification can be purchased online and may be taken both before and after amalgam removal. Recommended products include:
- Metal-X-Synergy – Detoxification. This helps support heavy metal detox from the body. You should begin taking it prior to removing amalgam fillings. We recommend that you use it one week before removal and for one month after in dosages of three tablets taken twice daily. More information can be found here.
- LV-GB Complex – Liver/Detoxification. This product helps eliminate bacteria toxins. It can be used prior to removing amalgam fillings. We recommend that you use three tablets twice daily for one month following your procedure. More information can be found here.
- Charcoal Plus Binder – A synergistic formula to help support the body’s normal clearance of microbes, environmental toxins, and heavy metals. It also may help support elimination pathways and healthy detoxification in the gastrointestinal tract. More information can be found here.
