Find The Best Treatment of Safe Removal Mercury Amalgam in Berkeley Heights, NJ

Many patients have heard the term “mercury toxicity” associated with fillings but still have many questions about it: what is it, am I affected by it, and what can be done to re-mediate it?



Mercury toxicity, also called mercury poisoning, is caused by a high level of mercury in the body. The presence of mercury has been shown to cause a wide range of chronic and acute health problems affecting all major systems in the body.

Among the latter, common arguments against the procedure include:

  •          All the mercury has already leaked out.
  •          Additional tooth structure will be lost by removing existing dental work.
  •          The patient will be exposed to toxic levels of mercury vapor being released as the fillings are drilled out.

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection operates the Dental Amalgam Program, which contributes to significant reductions in the discharge of mercury into the environment. Additionally, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issues compliance standards for medical and dental offices regarding the use of mercury; however, OSHA standards regulate the protection of dental staff but not patients.

The Center for Systemic Dentistry will work with you to determine the best course of treatment to safely remove your existing mercury amalgam.

WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL? A root canal-treated (RCT) or root-filled tooth is one in which the dental nerve, commonly called the pulp, is intentionally removed and is filled with an inert material called Gutter perch. Once an RCT is performed, the tooth must be restored with a post and a crown. These will strengthen the tooth and prevent a crack or fracture from developing after treatment. A good analogy is a tree branch. When it is alive, it flexes or bends when pressure is applied. WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF ROOT CANALS? The pro of a Root Canal is obvious: the painful or dead tooth is treated and extraction is avoided. However, we must ask two key questions before starting a root canal. Can the tooth be restored? Can a predictable RCT be performed, or are there risks for a poor result? On the other hand, if the patient chooses extraction, the following surgical and tooth replacement options need to be considered: SURGICAL OPTIONS: Tooth Extraction Bone Grafting

A good analogy is a tree branch. Does tooth pain indicate i need a root canal? A dentist first will tap on several teeth and look for signs of an abscess or a radiograph. A tooth with constant or severe pain does not necessarily indicate the need for a root canal. These include sinus infections, myofascial pain, neurovascular disorders, neuralgias (a common cause), neuritis (a viral infection of the tooth), neuropathy, and neuromas. Even heart attacks can refer pain to the teeth of the lower jaw. How is a root canal properly diagnosed? A root canal is a treatment, not a diagnosis. Good dentistry, like good m
