Mercury Safe Dentistry
Database of Science Based Articles on Mercury
Dr. Tom McGuire, one of the leading authorities on mercury amalgam fillings and mercury detoxification, has allowed us to use his referenced and abstracted database of scientific articles on the toxicity of mercury. His database, with over 1200 articles, is the largest of its kind and we are providing access to it because we want to show you that Science strongly supports our belief that mercury's a highly poisonous substance, one that can negatively affect your health in so many ways.
We also want you to know that this is the Science behind why we committed to making our practice Occupationally Mercury Safe. These articles will provide the evidence for why we take very seriously our commitment to protecting our patients, our staff, and the environment against excessive and unnecessary exposure to mercury in our office. The database is user friendly, with a Table of Contents that makes it easy to move though the article database. Simply scroll through the Table of Contents and click on an article of interest. Don't worry about getting lost as wherever you are in the article database you'll find a handy Link that will take you back to the database's Table of Contents. To return to this page keep just click on the "X" to close the database browser tab and return to this page.
Biocompatible Materials Used in Holistic Dentistry
Holistic dentists often use materials that are biocompatible and safe for the body. Here are some common alternatives:
Composite Resin:

These tooth-colored fillings are made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. They blend well with natural teeth and are free from metals like mercury.
Ceramic:
Ceramic materials are often used for crowns and bridges. They are durable, aesthetically pleasing, and free of metal.

Zirconia:

Zirconia crowns are strong, metal-free, and have a natural appearance.
Ozone Therapy:
is a key tool in biological (holistic) dentistry because of its antimicrobial, healing, and oxygenating properties.
