One of my favorite procedures to perform at is safe mercury removal — and it’s not just because of the meticulous care we take with all the coverings and protective measures. It’s because of what it means for the patient.

Here’s why I love it:

1. We’re removing a toxic material that may be placing a silent burden on the body.

2. It supports the body’s detox pathways, helping patients heal and thrive more fully.

3. It helps the environment, too — less mercury waste means less pollution in our air, water, and soil, allowing all of us to better enjoy the earth we live on.

It’s incredibly rewarding to support patients in making empowered, health-conscious choices. Every step matters on the journey to wellness.

Got mercury fillings and curious about the removal process? Give us a call — we’d love to talk with you and help you get started on your oral health and wellness journey!
