For years, amalgam (silver-colored) fillings were the go-to treatment for cavities and minor dental decay. While metal fillings are excellent in cavity treatment, they pose safety concerns because of their high mercury content. Today, health-conscious patients are concerned about toxic materials in their mouths. So, if you have amalgam fillings in your mouth, you may contact Dentiq in Greenmeadows, Napier, for safe amalgam removal. Drs. Sundar Jagadeesan and Paola Fenton are trained to observe strict protocols when removing mercury fillings from the mouth.
Our doctors have been rigorously trained to use the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) protocol established by the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology). The SMART protocol ensures we safely remove amalgam fillings so that neither the patient, dental personnel, nor the environment is harmed during the procedure.
Our SMART-Certified dental team follows these safety precautions to minimize mercury vapor exposure during amalgam fillings removal:
The IAOMT doesn’t recommend amalgam removal for pregnant women or those breastfeeding. As responsible dental practitioners, we strictly follow the rigorous IAOMT protocols and recommendations for a safe and effective outcome.
