Remove Mercury Fillings

It is important to follow certain steps when removing mercury fillings:

It is essential that the filling is kept cool during the removal due to the heat that is generated when drilling into the tooth. This can release mercury particles and vapour that are hazardous to health.
A high volume extractor will ensure the filling is cleared away correctly.
An alternative source of air is essential for the patient so they can breathe clean, fresh air throughout the procedure.
A rubber dam protects the patient’s airways. Furthermore, it will avoid any debris falling down into the throat and stomach.
Thorough cleaning of the patient’s mouth is necessary.
Also, additional air purification is needed. This ensures that the clinic environment is safe for others.
