 Dr. Neufeld cares about your family's total health. He is proud to be a
mercury free dentist and has been so for years.Many people have silver
(amalgam) fillings, which are about 50% mercury. Today, there is
overwhelming scientific evidence that using mercury fillings is second-rate at
best and extremely toxic at worst. Mercury is one of the most toxic
substances known to man. It cannot legally be thrown in the trash, buried
in the ground or handled with bare hands.
Initially, it was believed that mercury fillings were sealed and the poison
could not be released into our systems. Now we know that the fillings
release mercury vapor 24 hours a day, especially when we chew. This vapor
is released into our blood stream and deposited into our liver, kidneys, brain,
gastrointestinal tract and other organs.
Mercury exposure can cause a multitude of symptoms, including headaches and
insomnia, and is also being related to conditions like Multiple Sclerosis,
Alzheimer's, Chronic Fatigue, and Fibromyalgia. Dr. Neufeld believes that
some people are more sensitive to mercury than others and may be more likely to
become ill.
For those who are interested, we offer safe mercury filling removal using the special guidelines recommended by IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine & Toxicology). These guidelines prevent mercury exposure during the filling removal process. Dr. Neufeld’s Dental Health Center is one of the few offices in Orange, Riverside and L.A. counties that provide this service.
In addition, Dr. Neufeld offers other Biological Dentistry options. These include microscopic, non-surgical therapy for periodontal (gum) disease, Clifford materials biocompatibility testing, and ViziLite Plus oral cancer evaluations.
