S.M.A.R.T. Mercury Removal
At Holistic Dentists, your health and well-being are our top priorities. If you have mercury-containing amalgam fillings, removing them safely is essential to protect your body from unnecessary exposure to toxins. That’s why we follow the S.M.A.R.T. (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol, a scientifically developed process that ensures a safe, comfortable, and health-conscious removal of mercury fillings.
What is S.M.A.R.T. Mercury Removal?
S.M.A.R.T. Mercury Removal is a specialized biological dentistry approach designed to minimize your exposure to mercury vapors and particles during the removal of silver (amalgam) fillings. Since mercury is a known toxin, this procedure must be done with great care to protect your lungs, nervous system, and overall well-being.
The S.M.A.R.T. protocol is recommended by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT).
How Does the S.M.A.R.T. Protocol Work?
As S.M.A.R.T.-certified dentists, we use advanced safety measures to ensure a toxin-free experience, including:
- Protective barriers and special ventilation: We use a rubber dam and high-powered suction to contain mercury particles and prevent inhalation.
- Oxygen supply for patients: A separate oxygen source prevents you from breathing in mercury vapors.
- Chunk removal instead of grinding: We remove fillings in large pieces to reduce mercury exposure rather than grinding them into fine particles.
- Proper waste disposal: Mercury is an environmental toxin, and we follow strict protocols to dispose of it responsibly.
Detox Support After Mercury Removal
Removing mercury is only part of the healing journey. Once amalgam fillings are safely removed, the body needs help mobilizing and eliminating stored heavy metals gently and effectively. We offer individualized detox support rooted in nutrition, gentle supplementation, and collaboration with integrative health providers.
Our approach may include:
- Nutritional guidance to support liver and kidney detox pathways
- Supplements such as activated charcoal, zeolite, or glutathione precursors
- Natural binders such as chlorella, knows to help trap and escort metals out of the body
- Cilantro, a powerful herbal mobilizer than can help move stored mercury from tissues
- Lifestyle strategies to support lymphatic drainage, hydration, and rest
- Referrals to functional medicine doctors or naturopaths for full-body detox plans
