Comment MERCURY below and I’ll walk you through symptoms of mercury exposure and exactly what “SAFE” removal looks like and what to ask for. 👇

That shadow on the screen is mercury v***r. Whenever a tooth gets agitated either by temperature change, chewing of food, grinding your teeth, or any dental work this mercury v***r is being released. This mercury v***r goes into your lungs, your blood, and brain and creates all kinds of health problems.

The World Health Organization confirmed in 1991...35 years ago, silver fillings are the number one source of mercury exposure in humans.

Here’s what blows my mind. When that filling falls out of your mouth it becomes hazardous waste. Legally the filling needs to be put in special containers and labeled as disposable.

What doesn’t make sense is that it’s okay to have it in your teeth, but as soon as it’s taken out of your teeth, it’s considered hazardous. This has never made sense to me.

The FDA quietly updated their guidance. Not recommended for pregnant women, kids, or people with kidney issues.

If You were never told what was in your filling. Most people still haven’t been.

A lot of people grew up thinking silver fillings were just part of going to the dentist. But these days, more patients want to know exactly what’s in their mouth and feel confident about the choices they’re making for their health.

That’s one reason we’ve moved away from amalgam fillings at The Essential Dentist and chosen modern, tooth-colored composite materials instead. Our approach is more holistic, more thoughtful, and centered on caring for the whole person.

For patients who want to replace older silver fillings, we also use a careful removal method designed to make the process as safe and comfortable as possible.

If you’ve been curious about updating your fillings and taking a more wellness-focused approach to your dental care, we’d love to talk with you.

Your gut microbiome affects way more than digestion. It helps regulate inflammation and immune function, and when it’s out of balance, it can show up in your mouth too. Bad breath, irritated gums, and a coated tongue can be signs your oral microbiome is struggling, since your mouth and gut are connected through the same immune system and digestive tract.

Supporting your gut can also support oral health by helping your body manage inflammation and defend against harmful bacteria. doTERRA PB Restore is designed to help replenish beneficial bacteria and support digestive and immune health. That can help your microbiome stay more balanced, which supports overall wellness from the inside out.

If you are looking for a Holistic Dentist with your health in mind, Come see us our office is in Pleasant Grove, Utah in Utah County, Located near the doTERRA Headquarters.
