Mercury Free
Mercury free dentists have become well regarded by those seeking a balanced and holistic life. The use of amalgam dental fillings, known of as silver, which contain about 50% mercury, has been reported by researchers to cause ill health within the general public. Health conditions such as headaches, depression, arthritis, and allergies have all been linked to mercury toxicity related to amalgam fillings used in dental procedures.
Although at one time it was denied that the mercury used in amalgam fillings was released into the mouth, there is now indisputable evidence that mercury vapor is routinely released and can end up in the body's organs and glands.
Biocompatible dentists, such as Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, do not use mercury fillings, but rather use materials that are benign to the human body and are compatible with healthy living. In many cases it is recommended that the amalgam fillings be removed and replaced to stop the leeching of mercury into the body, but this procedure is complex and requires careful planning and discussion with the doctor.
"Recent research publications report a link between the toxicity of mercury and its harm to human health," explains Kourosh Maddahi, DDS. "Biocompatible dentistry closely follows all the research being done in this important area. We are looking carefully at reports showing how much more toxic mercury is to the human body that even lead, cadmium or arsenic. There is no mercury vapor exposure level considered harmless, especially considering its cumulative effect. Using the new high-tech procedures to remove old fillings, ensures healthy mouths. By combining the advancement of biocompatible dentistry with the art of cosmetic dentistry, I am able to help my patients in their pursuit of optimal health and personal wellbeing. In biocompatible dentistry is we never use mercury and only use the compatible materials we find for our patients with thorough testing."
