We have been trained and follow the protocol for mercury amalgam removal and are accredited members of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, known as IAOMT. Dr. Baer and Dr. Tipograph, along with the staff wear special safety masks and remove the mercury fillings with a special suction and air filtration system. Natural Dentist Associates offers metal-free dentistry with all porcelain or resin restorations.
We use natural fluoride-free and BPA free materials and offer our patients natural products for their home dental care.
Mercury Fillings
Mercury is used as a filling material in dentist offices. What patients don’t know, is that mercury fillings are made up of over 50% of mercury which is the most TOXIC substance on earth. At Natural Dentist Associates, we remove hazardous mercury fillings and replace them with composite white fillings. We use techniques that minimize the harm which amalgam can cause. We also use rubber dams, and high suction evacuation, removing mercury fillings safely.
