The Hidden Risks of Silver Fillings and How to Remove Them Safely

Mar 01, 2025 01:09PM ● By Jerome Bilaos

For decades, silver amalgam fillings were the go-to solution for cavities. But do you know that these fillings contain 50% mercury — yes, the toxic heavy metal mercury. Studies have revealed something even more disturbing: mercury vapor from amalgam fillings can leak out into the body over time, likely causing damage to your nervous system, immune function, and overall health.

The professionals at Holistic Dental Center of New Jersey realize the concerns regarding mercury exposure and provide a safe, proven approach for its removal by adhering to the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol.  This more comprehensive approach aims at minimizing mercury exposure to both patients and dental staff alike. It includes high-volume suction, oxygen supplementation, special barriers, air filtration, and more for a guaranteed toxin-free experience.

WHY REMOVE MERCURY FILLINGS?

Many patients report feeling relief from chronic fatigue, brain fog, headaches, and other unexplained symptoms after safe amalgam removal. It is well-known that full-body health relies on oral health since the mouth is the gateway to our entire system, so toxic materials like mercury can have far-reaching effects on well-being.

If you have silver fillings and are concerned about their effect on your health, The Holistic Dental Center of NJ is ready to help patients take this step toward better health. Call today to schedule a consultation and learn how HDC can safely and effectively remove mercury fillings.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
