When it comes to removing old silver (amalgam) fillings, safety should be the number one priority. These fillings contain mercury—a known neurotoxin—which can be released into the body if not handled properly. That’s why SMART mercury removal with Dr. Noha Oushy at Santa Teresa Smiles is the gold standard for patients who value both dental and whole-body health.
What Is SMART Mercury Removal?
SMART stands for the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, developed by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). It’s a comprehensive protocol designed to protect both patients and dental staff from mercury exposure during amalgam removal.
This technique goes beyond traditional removal methods by incorporating powerful suction, rubber dams, oxygen masks, and air filtration systems. The process minimizes mercury vapor release and prevents ingestion or inhalation. For more information on the SMART procedures and it benefits, please visit thesmartchoice.com.
