Mercury free fillings
Dr. Heltzel has not used mercury “amalgam” fillings
since 1984. Why?
 Amalgam fillings contain over 50% mercury, which is a heavy metal toxin. - Dental amalgams have the capability of becoming miniature batteries
when placed in the wet, acid environment of the mouth. These electrical
currents cause a release of metal ions from the filling called galvanism.
- Mercury can be released from fillings in the form of vapor, which has
the ability to penetrate cell membranes and pass through blood into body
tissues.
- Mercury toxicologists have stated that no amount of exposure to mercury
vapor can be considered harmless.
- In October, 1998 the FDA ruled that mercury and any products that contain
mercury components are not recognized as safe and are to be eliminated
from any products sold over-the-counter. There is no explanation given
how dental mercury is different from other mercury and has escaped this
ruling.
Based on the above reasons many dental consumers are choosing “smart
dentistry” by electing to have their fillings replaced either with
recommendations from their healthcare providers or because of their own interest
in optimum health. Minimally they are choosing to say “no” to
placing any new silver mercury fillings in their mouth.
The American Dental Assoc. admits that mercury vapor is released from amalgam
fillings after chewing and brushing but continues to state they remain safe
because they have been in use for over 150 years.
