Toronto, Ontario Jun 5, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Did you know that according to The World Health Organization (WHO) there is no level of mercury exposure that can be considered safe for human beings? All silver-colored fillings are dental amalgam fillings, and each is approximately 50% mercury. Although a number of countries have banned or limited them, there are still millions of amalgam dental fillings in use and they continue to be found in dental schools, clinics, and hospitals all over the world.
As a biological dental clinic in Toronto, Junction Family Dental only uses non-mercury fillings according to Health Canada recommendations. We are holistic dentistry that understands the harmful effects that mercury fillings can have on the overall health of our patients. Let’s talk about some of these harmful effects. When a dental amalgam filling is placed, the mercury will be absorbed and retained within your body because it is continuously being emitted from the filling. Where does it get absorbed? Specifically in your brain, kidney, liver, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. The harmful effects of mercury fillings are exacerbated by multiple fillings and during activities such as teeth-grinding, consuming hot liquids, and something as simple as chewing.

Research shows that individuals will react to toxins such as dental amalgam mercury uniquely, depending on their own body. However, it is now demonstrated through various studies that the harmful effects of mercury fillings are associated with such cases of Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, antibiotic resistance, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, autoimmune disorders, immunodeficiency, cardiovascular issues, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, infertility, kidney disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and a myriad of other health problems.
At Junction Family Dental, we safely remove old mercury fillings that may be corroding in the mouths of our patients. It is important for us to follow strict guidelines and protocols that are outlined by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. Keeping your safety always in mind, our holistic dental clinic will use high-volume suction near the tooth at all times to evacuate the mercury vapor, as well as using the cold-water spray for mercury vapor minimization, among several other protocols. Not only are we a mercury free dental practice, but we also use dental filling material that is BPA-free. We believe in providing our patients with the best alternatives possible to keep their overall well-being in mind.
