Stringent Mercury Amalgam Removal

Not just Mercury Free but Mercury Safe

During the amalgam mercury removal process 4 additional pieces of equipment are used for your and our safety as well as other safety precautions.

  1. Extra-oral HEPA vacuum is used to scavenge particles and vapors that are released from the mouth.
  2. Special, hi-power negative ion generator (Tact-Air) is turned on at the head of the chair. This creates a breeze of negative (-) ions that washes over the face of the patient on their way to a distant collecting plate.
  3. Mercury Vapor Masks are used by the doctor and assistant during the extraction process for their health safety.
  4. Rubber Dam. This is a tooth shielding system. Whereby a containment shield (rubber dam) is placed over the teeth to isolate the teeth from the mouth. It can be placed over as few as one and as many as 8 or more teeth. Doctor then treats the teeth as they protrude through the small opening, while cutting out the filling(s) keeping extraneous exposure to a minimum. Prior to placement we provide you with an EDTA rinse to coat your oral tissues to help scavenge extraneous particles of mercury when they enter the mouth. The dam is slathered with an ointment that helps to capture the scattered particles that stay on the outside of the dam when the filling is cut out from the tooth. Once the removal of the mercury amalgam is complete, the dam is removed and you are rinsed out. Following this step, you are given again the EDTA solution to rinse with for more complete mercury scavenging.

We also use oxygen as a supplemental positive pressure air source to further protect you.

We aid you in respect to your immune cycle by avoidance in crossing the midline whenever possible and scheduling you for intravenous Vitamin C therapy with an appropriate practitioner. We offer nutritional support and supplements through Dr. Huggins-Gruvy office.
