Most patients do not know a difference between their regular conventional dentist, and a holistic or Biological dentist. If you have a silver filling you probably heard your dentist telling you that you should not be concerned, and it is not a big deal. He or she may say that if you want it removed its not a problem. What you don't know is that if you leave it in, you are certainly subjecting yourself to continuous absorption of mercury and certainly if he removes it you will most likely absorb a hefty dose which will make you sick, or sicker in the future.
The dentist should provide the equipment, skill, staff to protect you, staff ,and himself. Not to mention the affect on the environment....
