Mercury amalgam filling removal in New Jersey, USA

When the element mercury accumulates to a high concentration in the body, it can lead to a variety of acute and chronic medical problems, including organ damage and compromise of major bodily systems. Because of the widespread usage of mercury in dental amalgam materials, many people are susceptible to mercury toxicity and its associated health issues.

Dentists and toxicologists are divided over the extent of the danger posed by mercury amalgam fillings. Even those who agree that mercury amalgam is hazardous are further divided over whether the safer protocol is to remove them or to leave them untouched. Paradoxically, improper removal of old fillings can cause greater exposure to mercury. Dentists who focus on safe amalgam removal must receive specialized training in the practice; they also follow government guidelines for containment of mercury vapor during the procedure and disposal of mercury-containing materials afterward.

Mercury toxicity is a health problem that results from a variety of environmental exposures. In addition to its widespread use in dental amalgam, mercury gets into our surroundings from industrial processes and broken fluorescent tubes and even from natural phenomena, such as volcanic eruptions. It is also consumed in fish and meat; with each step up the food chain, mercury accumulates to a greater concentration in flesh tissues.
The symptoms of mercury toxicity are manifold; poisoning from the element can affect every part of the body, including the neurological, central nervous, gastrointestinal, immune, neuromuscular, and cardiovascular systems, as well as major organs, such as the brain, liver, and kidneys. Symptoms are diverse, ranging from headache and fatigue to gastrointestinal disorders and from muscle and bone afflictions to oral health and gum problems.

Multiple medical studies report that the effects of mercury toxicity can be mitigated and often reversed when proper procedures are implemented to remove the sources of mercury poisoning in the body. The most common source of mercury entering the body is from mercury fillings, suggesting that a safe, comprehensive protocol of mercury amalgam removal and replacement can lead to a marked improvement in health.
When a person is faced with mercury poisoning, three bodily systems—immune, detoxification, and elimination—come into play to deal with the problem. The first line of defense, the immune system, recognizes pathogens and foreign substances that are injurious to health. The immune system may react by neutralizing the threatening substance; it might also respond with chronic inflammation, with an overreacting immune reaction, or by shutting down entirely. These latter immune responses can lead to degenerative conditions and organ or tissue damage.

What is Root Canal | Local Dental Services - New Jersey , USA

Image
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...
