Dr Rachel Hall holistic dentist Brisbane discusses dental amalgam fillings and mercury. Discover why holistic dentists choose not to use amalgam fillings and why they advocate the safe removal of amalgam.
People with amalgam fillings exceed all the occupational exposure limits for mercury allowances set in all European and North American countries. Adults with four or more amalgams run a significant health risk from the mercury, while in children as few as two amalgams will contribute to health problems.
Mercury blocks the biochemical process of the body by interfering with the way messages are sent from one cell to another via minerals and enzymes.
Mercury not only competes with essential minerals it also depletes the body of them. These actions then impact the functionality of the body impairing the immune system, nervous system, hormone production, kidney function, cardiovascular system, energy production and more.
