how dental amalgam is removed safely
A biological dentist provides a comprehensive variety of services, like many other dentists, but the focus is always on the systemic connection between the mouth and the body. Biological dentists know that oral health can impact the health of the rest of the body. Some of the services commonly associated with biological dentists are ozone therapy, safe removal of mercury fillings, and the use of metal-free restorations.
At the Offices of Ramsin K. Davoud, we provide services based on the following biological dentistry principles:
- All of our procedures and dental materials encourage total body wellness. We always choose the most conservative treatments available to restore health and functionality. Conservative treatments can minimize the risk associated with restorative work.
- Materials are always metal-free and biocompatible. We do not use silver amalgam fillings, which have a high toxicity risk. Instead, we place metal-free composite resin fillings which are safe and natural looking.
- We follow strict protocol in the removal of amalgam fillings. To minimize exposure to mercury, our entire team is trained in the safest methods for removing and disposing of amalgam fillings before replacing them. We follow the guidelines established by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
- We place emphasis on education and prevention. Our job goes beyond just cleaning your teeth and fixing problems when they arise. We truly want to be your partner in health and we accomplish this by providing nutrition guidelines, tips for oral hygiene, and anything else that will help you live a healthier life.
If you live near Turlock, call the office of Ramsin K. Davoud to learn more about our practice. We would love the opportunity to talk to you about our philosophy and answer any questions that you may have about the benefits of biological dentistry.
