Safe Mercury Amalgam/Silver Filling Removal Protocols
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. McGettrick-Morin is aware that mercury vapor, dental infections, and TMJ (bite) problems can have a negative impact on oral and overall health. Because of this concern, our office focuses on patient education and strives to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in the safest way possible. We believe it is important to protect the patient, the environment, and our staff from excessive and unnecessary exposure to mercury during the amalgam removal process. Making the dental office Occupationally Mercury Safe is also supported by the American Dental Association (ADA) and other prominent dental organizations.
