Ohio Holistic Dental Center practices safe mercury amalgam removal in Centerville, OH. We follow the SMART protocol to protect you and our dental team from potential mercury exposure.
Benefits of Safe Mercury Filling Removal
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. Mercury amalgam fillings have been used for decades but contain mercury, which can be harmful in vapor form. Safe removal minimizes exposure to this toxic substance, reducing the potential health risks associated with mercury.
The SMART protocol involves a series of safety measures, including:
- Protective barriers and filters to contain mercury particles and vapors.
- Specialized filtration systems to clean the air during the procedure.
- Supplemental oxygen for the patient to avoid inhalation of mercury vapors.
- Techniques that minimize temperature and the release of mercury vapors during removal.
Dr. Linty John-Varghese and our team are certified in the SMART protocol. Their training ensures that amalgam filling removal is done without compromising the health of our patients, staff, and environment.
