Calgary Mercury Filling Removal

Mercury fillings has stirred considerable media attention and controversy since the mid 1980’s concerns the evidence suggesting that common silver dental fillings, which consists of over 50% mercury, are causing or worsening various health disorders and immune system problems.  Thus many cosmetic dentists are addressing this problem with mercury filling removal and replacement with a non-mercury alternative.  

Mercury is extremely toxic and highly allergenic.  Mercury is released from fillings and can build up in the brain, pituitary, adrenals, and other parts of the body.  Problems that have been associated with mercury fillings include brain, kidney, immune system, and gastrointestinal problems.  Symptoms can manifest themselves as sleep disturbances, memory disturbances, lethargy, restlessness, fatigue, bleeding gums, and other mouth disorders.

Although many dentists still play down the effects of mercury fillings, Dr. Galan has been progressive enough to oppose the use of mercury fillings, and advocate mercury filling removal for safety reasons – particularly to those who have these filling, and are experiencing health problems that they can’t explain.

Here in Calgary, Dr. Galan has extensive experience in mercury filling removal and replacement.  He will work with you from the consultation process to post-procedure recovery to ensure that you understand all aspects about this procedure.  His clinic is well equipped with the necessary equipment and knowledgeable staff to carry out this procedure safely and comfortably.
