At Cameron Village Dentistry, we prioritize our patients’ health and well-being by offering safe mercury-filling removals. Our experienced dental team follows the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol to ensure your safety during this procedure.
What Is the SMART Protocol?
Established by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), the SMART protocol minimizes exposure to harmful mercury vapor and particles and prevents the release of mercury into the environment.
SMART safety measures and procedures protect our patients, our dental team, and the environment.
Safety During Mercury Filling Removal
Some of the key safety measures we follow when removing mercury fillings include:
- Using a high-speed suction system to capture mercury vapor and particles
- Providing an alternative air source for patients to prevent inhalation of mercury vapor
- Using a dental dam to isolate the tooth and prevent you from swallowing mercury particles
We Prioritize Your Safety and Well-Being
Our natural approach to dental care considers the oral-systemic link and the potential impact dental materials have on overall health. After removing the filling, we provide biocompatible, durable alternatives for dental restorations.
