Mercury Free Dentist, Mercury Safe Dental Office is there a difference?

What is Mercury Free Dentist?  A dentist who do not place mercury amalgam (silver) fillings.  Dr. Anthony Adams has not placed a silver filling for over 20 years.

After intensive research Dr. Adams is taking his office to the next level and offering  a mercury safe dental practice.  What does that mean?  That means we do not place mercury fillings.  To be a mercury safe dental office we must protect the patient, ourselves and the environment from unnecessary mercury exposure during removal.   Mercury is a very powerful neurotoxin.  Now that we know how dangerous mercury is our office embrace changes that will minimize mercury exposure.  We use a mercury separator which extracts the mercury particulate and contains it safety before it goes to the sewer.  Mercury that is discarded into the sewage is either incinerated or made into fertilizer.  Incineration contaminates our atmosphere.   Fertilizer with mercury contaminates our precious earth.

We are installing negative ion dispensers and traps which help to clean our office atmosphere. We use disposable covers for ourselves and patients in order to create a barrier from the mercury.   We use multiple air evacuation systems to capture and contain the mercury vapor before it can harm the patient or ourselves. When we remove mercury fillings, it is done in a way to minimize mercury vapor exposure. Are these measures really necessary? If I did not think so I would not go to the trouble or expense. I only wish I knew this 30 years ago. I did not.   I choose to act on what I now know. We should do what is best for all of us. This is the only planet we our children or chilren's children have.
