For years, mercury fillings were the standard in dental care, prized for their strength and affordability. But as dental science has evolved, so has our understanding of the risks associated with these metal amalgam fillings. If you have mercury fillings, it might be time to consider a healthier alternative.
Why Mercury Fillings Are a Concern
Mercury, a key component in amalgam fillings, is a known neurotoxin. Over time, these fillings can release mercury vapor, which may be absorbed by your body and potentially lead to health issues. Common symptoms linked to mercury exposure include:
- Fatigue that lingers
- Trouble focusing or memory loss
- Anxiety or feelings of depression
- Persistent headaches
- Metallic taste in your mouth
- Allergic reactions or unexplained skin issues
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, removing your mercury fillings could be a step toward better health.
