SMART Amalgam Removal

SMART Amalgam Removal

Today, we know there is no safe level of mercury exposure for the human body. Despite the small quantity in a single filling, mercury is a neurotoxin and especially dangerous to the brain, nervous system, unborn children, and patients with compromised detox pathways.
 
Every time you chew, grind, or brush, these fillings can release mercury vapor—odorless, tasteless, but toxic. These vapors are absorbed by the lungs and oral mucosa, and over time can accumulate in the body, leading to health risks that range from cognitive decline to immune dysfunction.
 
At our practice, Dr. Indah follows the IAOMT’s SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique) protocol. This advanced technique protects both patients and dental team members during removal by using:
  • Air filtration and high-volume suction
  • Protective barriers and oxygen supply
  • Proper waste disposal systems
  • Replacement with biocompatible, non-toxic materials
This approach ensures a safe, health-conscious, and environmentally responsible transition away from mercury.
