Safe amalgam removal technique

The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) developed the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) to minimize the risk of exposure to mercury vapors during the removal of amalgam fillings. At our dental office, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our patients and dental professionals by following the SMART protocol. By isolating the tooth being worked on and using high-volume suction, a water spray, and alternative air sources, we can safely remove amalgam fillings without exposing anyone to harmful levels of mercury vapor. If you are concerned about the potential risks of amalgam fillings or are considering their removal, we can discuss your options and determine the best course of treatment for you.
