Understanding the Decision to Remove Mercury Dental Fillings

At Avery Dental Wellness, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge and understanding. One such decision often arises is removing mercury dental fillings, also known as silver amalgam fillings.

Let’s delve deeper into this topic and explore the factors that influence this important choice:

Mercury Toxicity Concerns

Exposure to mercury vapor released from amalgam fillings can raise concerns about potential health risks. Mercury is a toxic substance that can harm human health in certain forms and amounts. In addition, some worry about the long-term effects of mercury vapor inhalation and absorption into the body. Therefore, minimizing mercury exposure is considered important for overall wellness.

Allergy or Sensitivity

Individuals may sometimes develop allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to the metals present in amalgam fillings, including mercury. These reactions can manifest as oral discomfort, swelling, or other localized symptoms. Removing the filling can alleviate these symptoms and contribute to improved oral health.

Aesthetic Considerations

The visibility of silver amalgam fillings can be a cosmetic concern for some individuals. The appearance of these fillings when smiling or speaking can affect self-confidence and overall well-being. Choosing tooth-colored composite fillings as an alternative can provide a more natural-looking result and enhance the smile's aesthetics.

Individual Health Conditions

Certain medical conditions or circumstances may influence the decision to remove mercury fillings. For example, pregnant women or individuals with compromised immune systems may choose to avoid potential mercury exposure as a precautionary measure. Therefore, evaluating the specific health conditions and considering the potential risks in each case is essential.
