Safe Amalgam Removal

Safe Amalgam Removal

At Wattle Holistic Dentists, we prioritize not only the restoration of your teeth but also your overall health. Our commitment to excellence extends to the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), a meticulous protocol designed to minimize any potential risks associated with the removal of existing amalgam fillings.

What is SMART?

Stands for the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, a comprehensive protocol implemented by our skilled dental team. This technique ensures that both you, the patient, and our dedicated staff are safeguarded throughout the entire removal process.

Our SMART Protocol:

Pre-Procedure Charcoal Drink:
Before the amalgam removal, we administer a specialized charcoal drink to minimize any potential absorption of mercury particles, promoting a safer removal process.
Full-Coverage Surgical Gowns and Dressing:
Our dentists and staff wear full-coverage surgical gowns and dressing to isolate the targeted tooth, creating a protective barrier that helps prevent any exposure to mercury.
Oxygen Utilization:
We prioritize your safety by incorporating the use of oxygen during the procedure, ensuring minimal inhalation of aerosols and maintaining a controlled environment.

Dental Rubber Dam:

The application of a dental rubber dam isolates the specific tooth undergoing removal, preventing the dispersion of amalgam particles and enhancing the precision of the removal process.

High-Volume Vacuum:

Our advanced high-volume vacuum systems efficiently capture and remove any airborne particles, reducing the risk of both patient and staff exposure.

Post-Charcoal Mouth Rinse

Ensuring Your Well-being:

These combined efforts not only minimize the risk of swallowing amalgam particles but also effectively capture aerosols, preventing the lingering mixture of air, water, and amalgam particles in the treatment room.

At Wattle Holistic Dentists, we are dedicated to providing you with a safe and comprehensive amalgam removal experience, contributing to the betterment of your overall health.
