Safe Mercury Filling Removal
Are You Concerned About Mercury in Your Dental Fillings?
Mercury-based dental amalgam fillings have been used for centuries, but growing health concerns have led many patients to seek safer alternatives. At Smiles By Bis in Oakville, we provide a safe and effective mercury filling removal process following protocols to minimize mercury exposure.
Amalgam fillings contain approximately 50% mercury, a heavy metal linked to potential health risks.
Many countries, including the EU, Sweden, Norway, and Germany, have restricted or banned mercury fillings.
Health Canada (1996) recommends avoiding mercury fillings in pregnant women, children, and those with kidney or liver issues.
