Consult a SMART Certified Dentist to Restore Your Smile and Remove Amalgam Fillings
Relatively few local dentists practice authentic holistic or biological dentistry. And even fewer have stopped using dangerous silver amalgam metal fillings. These fillings contain mercury, which is a dangerous toxin that can do serious harm to your health. If you’re searching for a dentist to remove mercury fillings, Dr. Tyler Wynne of Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry is just the one for the job! His natural approach to dentistry is why he’s among the most trusted dental professionals in the business.
The Truth About Amalgam Fillings
Amalgam comprises mercury, tin, silver, zinc, and copper. And while it’s deemed safe by the FDA and the ADA, many people—including dentists—aren’t convinced. All amalgam fillings are made up of close to 50 percent mercury, a highly toxic element.
Once more, there is really no such thing as a “safe level of exposure.” Therefore, your old silver amalgam fillings may cause harm to your health, especially if you are allergic and unaware of your allergy.
A WHO (World Health Organization) report in 2005 raised troubling concerns about mercury, citing potential harmful effects on a range of systems, such as the respiratory, digestive, nervous, and immune systems, as well as the kidneys.
According to the report, mercury can also cause lung damage. These harmful effects can lead to impaired vision and hearing, paralysis, tremors, insomnia, emotional instability, and developmental issues in fetuses and children, such as attention deficit and developmental delays. Recent studies have shown that mercury may not have a safe threshold, meaning even small exposures can have damaging effects.
Getting SMART About Mercury Removal
The SMART protocol, which stands for “Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique,” was developed by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology or IAOMT. This organization comprises a worldwide network of healthcare professionals, dentists, and researchers with a joint mission to protect the environment and public health from the dangerous effects of amalgam fillings composed chiefly of mercury.
The SMART protocol helps to minimize the mercury exposure associated with amalgam fillings. These fillings are a source of mercury for two reasons. Firstly, mercury enters the body when a person has a cavity repaired with amalgams.
Secondly, mercury is released at higher levels when the filling is heated, such as when consuming hot food and drinks. IAOMT research has identified over 250 symptoms and medical conditions linked to mercury exposure from dental amalgams.

Removing mercury fillings can present risks to patients, the dental team, and the environment. Drilling and other conventional techniques to remove the fillings can heat them, releasing higher mercury levels into the air. To minimize these risks, it is essential to use protective measures, which is where SMART comes in.

Joy S. (Advance, NC)
I came in, I was referred to Dr. Wynne and his office by my integrative doctor. I’m a cancer patient in remission, and I was advised to have my mercury fillings removed. I had quite a few mercury fillings.
So I am just amazed at how much better I feel since they’ve been removed.
I wasn’t expecting that, but just coming here, I felt so comfortable. I was made comfortable every time I came in for a visit, and I came in for several visits because again, I had quite a few to be removed, and I also had my front teeth redesigned, so I had those capped. Everything just went beautifully. I couldn’t be more pleased with the attention, the kindness, and the caring that I have received here. The people here are wonderful. They’re very professional. My product, my result, is beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for better. I’m very grateful to be a patient here and continue to be a patient here.
