You have decided to lead a healthier lifestyle. You take care of yourself physically and mentally. Now you are concerned about the amalgam filling that was placed years ago. For NC patients who request it, Dr. William Virtue and the staff at Virtue Dental Care can safely remove silver-colored fillings. The process includes educating patients on what to do after amalgam filling removal.
Dr. Virtue is SMART certified and is a fellow of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). In the past, he acted as president and secretary of the IAOMT. He is trained in safe mercury removal. Our practice follows strict safety measures laid out by the IAOMT to ensure patient safety.
When patients request removal of amalgam fillings, our office prepares using IAOMT protocols. Exposure to even tiny mercury particles and vapor can have negative effects on patient health. Some of our safety standards include:
Even with stringent safety standards and protective gear, it is possible for some mercury to be ingested. We recommend a mercury detoxification plan. It can begin up to a week prior to filling removal to prepare the body, and continue for a month following the procedure to rid the body of toxins. The program consists of taking vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, zinc, selenium, and magnesium for their detoxification and antioxidant functions. Good nutrition and daily exercise are also necessary eliminate toxins from the body.
