What are the myths and facts surrounding amalgam fillings?

If you ask your dentist about silver amalgam fillings and wonder whether you should have them removed or not then often depending on which dentist you see you will get different answers, many of them will tell you not to be silly as they are perfectly safe. Dr Rachel Hall holistic dentist in Brisbane explains the facts about amalgam fillings to help you make an informed choice.

Amalgam fillings contain mercury by the way, but due to the fact that they are metallic, there are a whole host of other issues that need to be considered.

When it comes to getting your amalgam fillings removed find out why you should get it done right the first time by making the SMART choice. Brisbane Holistic Dentist Dr Rachel Hall explains more.

Mercury, used in dental amalgam, has been linked to many health problems. About half of amalgam is made of mercury, the rest from other metals such as silver and tin. Mercury has been identified as an environmental hazard and linked to Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and kidney and brain damage.

Dentistry recommends not to place or remove amalgam fillings in pregnant women due to the 'theoretical' risk to the foetus. And also to avoid its use in children, the elderly and the medically compromised (those with poor kidney function for example).

Amalgam Removal? So should you get your amalgam fillings removed? That is only a choice you can make. However, if you need to have a filling replaced due to decay, breakage or issues with the tooth then you should be asking to have it done safely to reduce your exposure to mercury.

In this weekly podcast, Dr Rachel Hall holistic dentist in Brisbane Australia shares her expertise and insights into dental health and wellness.

Dr Rachel Hall holistic dentist Brisbane discusses dental amalgam fillings and mercury. Discover why holistic dentists choose not to use amalgam fillings and why they advocate the safe removal of amalgam.

According to several research studies, people with amalgam fillings exceed all the occupational exposure limits for mercury allowances set in all European and North American countries. Adults with four or more amalgams potentially run a significant health risk from the mercury, while in children as few as two amalgams may contribute to health problems.

Mercury blocks the biochemical process of the body by interfering with the way messages are sent from one cell to another via minerals and enzymes.

Mercury not only competes with essential minerals it also depletes the body of them. These actions then impact the functionality of the body impairing the immune system, nervous system, hormone production, kidney function, cardiovascular system, energy production and more.

Mercury, used in dental amalgam, has been linked to many health problems. Yet dentists are still placing it in people's teeth, telling them it is perfectly safe and advocating that it be left in your teeth. This is because no mainstream dental organisations recommend you replace your amalgam fillings as long as they are in good condition and there is no decay beneath them. Yet the IAOMT research group beg to differ stating that mercury is a neurotoxin and dental amalgams pose a significant health risk due to the release of mercury into your body over the lifetime of the filling.

It is your choice whether you continue to keep mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth or not but be educated and know how to have them removed safely if this is what you decide to do.

What is holistic dentistry?

People often ask "what's the difference between holistic dentistry and traditional dentistry?" or "how similar is holistic dentistry to traditional dentistry?"

A holistic dentist offers conventional and complementary dental care. Unlike a traditional dentist, who may focus on one particular tooth or gum problem, the holistic dentist focuses on an individual's whole mouth and whole body health.

The holistic dentist is keenly aware of the best, most comprehensive long-term treatments necessary for restoring a patient's oral and total health.

Let's take a deeper dive into the differences between a holistic dentist and a traditional dentist and what makes a holistic dentist holistic.
