Rhone Dental Clinic Article Heavy Metal Decontamination Image01

Do you have a persistent headache and can’t figure out ? The answer may be linked to your teeth. Precisely  in your fillings. Yes, it’s true and heavy metals are to blame.

Heavy metals in dentistry: symptoms and elimination

SYMPTOMS OF HEAVY METALS IN TEETH

The symptoms are increased drowsiness and loss of appetite, but also headaches and a metallic taste sensation. However, dental amalgam can generate more specific symptoms, such as :

  • Neuralgia;
  • Joint pain;
  • Digestive disorders;
  • Disabling migraines.

ELIMINATE FILLINGS

The removal process follows a very precise pattern involving the application of a rubber dam, a latex sheet linked to the teeth with hooks. It allows the dentist to isolate the tooth and create the ideal conditions for the endodontic surgical field. Once the dam is attached, the patient is invited to wear protective glasses to prevent parts of the amalgam  in the eyes and irritating them. To finish, immediately afterwards, the filling is removed using a vacuum cleaner accompanied by an appropriate irrigation system.

This type of filling has been used over time because it is cheap and durable. However, if we want to improve the lives of our patients ( their health and for the environment), it is important to considerate the use of biocompatible materials and a natural approach.
