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.
Symptoms related to chronic mercury poisoning include:
- anxiety
- confusion
- depression
- lack of concentration
- lethargy
- memory loss
- slurred speech.

Mercury is an extraordinarily powerful and accumulative poison that can deplete the body of essential antioxidants.
If you have silver or black fillings in your mouth they contain mercury. When we remove mercury fillings we follow a strict, safe protocol. Care must be taken when amalgam restorations are removed to limit exposure to mercury vapor. It can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed through soft tissues. Eighty percent of inhaled mercury is absorbed, passing quickly from lungs to the bloodstream.
Protection is essential for:
- Pregnant or nursing mothers
- Patients who know, or suspect, that they are sensitive to mercury
- Anyone who has experienced an adverse effect after having amalgams placed or removed
- Anyone with serious immune system disorders, multiple allergies, or serious health problems
Our mercury filling removal protocol:
- Pre-Rinse and gargle with Oral Detox Pro Rinse
