A Mercury Safe Dentist who is specially trained, will not place amalgams (which are 50% mercury) and also uses safe protocols to protect patients from unnecessary and excessive exposure to mercury during the removal process of old amalgam fillings. This includes a high-volume air filtration system, protective gowns and covers for patient, dentist, and dental personnel, external oxygen delivered to the patient via nasal mask, high speed evacuation using a Clean Up device, dental dam, charcoal, chlorella or similar adsorbents to rinse and swallow before procedure.
