We remain committed to providing dental care without using mercury, fluoride or other potentially harmful materials. As our knowledge grows, our protocol improves to the benefit of those coming to our clinic for care.
Dr. MacLean is aware that mercury vapour in silver fillings can have a negative impact on overall health. Because of this concern, we focus on patient education and strive to remove mercury or amalgam fillings in a safe way.
Did you know that there is a possible risk of a large exposure to mercury vapours when fillings are removed without following the proper protection procedures? Safe removal and replacement of mercury requires that Dr. MacLean follow a specific set of protocols from a developed standard of care for the safe and effective removal of toxic materials in the mouth, including mercury.
