If you have this many amalgam silver fillings in your mouth, you should come in for a check-up!

Many dentists and scientists take the more serious approach when warning people about the dangers of the mercury element used in amalgam fillings. With so much information surrounding ‘silver’ mercury fillings and the many studies available, it’s impossible to relay all of the data that’s now available in only one blog post.

Using an entertaining approach to peak curiosity for serious matters helps to reach others who shy away from health talks or younger generations who don’t yet have the attention span to read through entire reports.

Because of this, there are some individuals who feel it’s important to also add entertainment to help increase awareness like this youthful, looking dentist, featured in the video below.

By mixing up the daily and sometimes upsetting reports with a jazzy musical number, a different light helps to bring awareness to the risks associated with dental amalgams – enjoy!

Songs are known for helping to retain factual information and with this catchy tune, you might even find yourself singing along!

Amalgam fillings are extremely controversial with many dentists, supported by dental associations, proclaiming that its component of mercury isn’t harmful to the human body. While scientific research is showing massive results of mercury poisoning, sometimes words still aren’t enough to make people understand the degree of dangers that lay with amalgam fillings.

The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) decided that the next obvious step in raising awareness was to not just write about their scientific findings but to show everyone the cold, hard truth of the hazardous waste sitting in millions of people’s mouths.

Gaining notoriety, this video sent many patients with dental amalgams on the mission of having them removed and replaced with safer composite fillings:

After this video came out, the ‘seeing is believing’ approach caused a stir for dentists and associations dedicated to amalgam fillings.

Many pro-amalgam dentists and dental associations claimed that the video was a fake or a conspiracy while others argued that special effects were used to produce these vivid results.

Dr. Layton, an amalgam free dentist, came back stronger with a new video refuting any doubts of special effects by using the Jerome Mercury Vaporizer, the only instrument available to detect on-site mercury vapours:

After watching these videos, it’s impossible not to feel alarmed over the risks of amalgam fillings!

Recently Dr Cary Fraser attended a course in Milwaukee Wisconsin at the Bioresearch Centre with Dr Steven Olmos to further his extensive knowledge on how best to treat patients dealing with headaches, jaw pain , head, neck and back pain.

Using a holistic approach at Bay Dental and Orthodontics, we are having great success treating patients with chronic pain and discomfort, many who have been elsewhere for treatment but could not find relief from their pain and discomfort.

Even though we can’t promise to cure everyone’s suffering, we do our very best to find the most advanced technologies and techniques that are proven and tested to work.

One such approach that comes as a surprise to dental patients is the unique approach of using the Autonomic Nervous System to help determine where the true source of the problem. In some cases all that’s needed is a 12 week program of painless Splint Therapy.

In other cases, physical therapies might needed to complement the splint therapy which might include seeing a Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, Osteopath, Accupuncturist, Massage Therapist, Nutritionist, or Holistic GP. If you’re suffering and in pain, we’d like to help locate the source of the pain and then give you a prescriptive and holistic approach to healing to guide you back to optimal health.
