Amalgam fillings can have serious consequences for our health, from burning mouth syndrome, a metallic taste in the mouth, fatigue, dizziness and neuralgia up to rheumatism, unexplained pain and other serious conditions. Acute complaints only present rarely. However, the alloy of mercury, tin, silver, copper and zinc is broken down by saliva and abraded during eating or when grinding your teeth in your sleep, thus – as saliva tests have proven – constantly releasing metal toxins, which spread throughout the body and can result in the development of chronic diseases. Find out more about the effects heavy metals in the mouth can have on the human body and the associated risks.
Here at INTEGRA, we start by analysing what quantity of which metals you currently have in your body. This allows us to select the treatment method best suited to you.
Gold binds mercury – this special protective measure allows us to ensure that no mercury vapours enter your airways through your nose.
The rubber-like cloth covers the remainder of the oral cavity, leaving only the operative site accessible – this prevents excavated pieces of amalgam from being swallowed or coming into contact with the oral mucosa.
This ultra-modern suction device allows us to collect the mercury vapours that are produced during amalgam removal in special filters.
We use special tungsten carbide drills in order to reliably avoid small, powder-like pieces of amalgam, which in turn can produce mercury vapours.
During the amalgam removal procedure, we administer medical-grade oxygen via a nasal cannula – this ensures that you do not inhale any mercury vapours from the ambient air.
The sulphur-containing solution rinses away any remaining pieces of mercury.
With this additional measure, we help you expel harmful substances from your body.
