Mercury Safe Dentistry
Dr. Saylor is convinced that mercury is very toxic and it does not belong in your mouth. There are better materials and it no longer has a place in dentistry. Your silver fillings are 50% mercury and this is released when chewing and when brushing. Any stimulation that heats amalgam (silver filling) releases mercury vapor. It doesn’t take much exposure to mercury to be harmful. You can’t see, smell or taste this vapor.
We are not only a mercury-free dental office (i.e. we don’t use mercury fillings) , but we are committed to removing the mercury fillings you DO have in a way that is safe to both you and the environment.
Smoking and Your Teeth
February 10th, 2010. Published under Smoking and gum disease, gum disease, healthy teeth, tooth decay. No Comments.
Smokers are 6 times more likely to have gum disease. Gums loosen and recede from teeth allowing teeth to fall out.
Smoking causes bad breath, stained teeth and tongue, and tooth decay.
Cigarette smoking can cause oral and other cancers and ultimately lead to death.
