At the practice of Drs. James Medlock and Elizabeth Keith, we understand that many West Palm Beach area patients may be dealing with amalgam fillings. These fillings are made of 50% mercury which can be toxic to the body and result in the development of many neurological and physical medical issues. In order to avoid the continued toxicity of the mouth and body, patients may ask their dentist for safe amalgam filling removal. Removal can only be done at the request of the patient.

Drs. James Medlock and Elizabeth Keith are specially trained to provide safe amalgam fillings removal as they are dentists of a mercury safe practice. Many dentists call themselves “mercury free” which only means that the do not place metal fillings. However, to have these fillings removed in a proper manner, patients must visit a dental practice that is “mercury safe.”

Patients in and around the West Palm Beach area can visit our practice for amalgam filling removal done per the standards of the IAOMT, also referred to as the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. This organization has developed specific protocols that must be followed to ensure the safety of everyone during amalgam filling removal. This includes vacuuming of the toxins, specific ways of breaking up the amalgam to reduce toxic vapors, and the use of special coverage and ventilation systems. Drs. James Medlock and Elizabeth Keith follow these standards closely to ensure the health and safety of everyone in the treatment room during amalgam fillings removal.
