FDA releases the latest update of using Mercury Amalgam Filling for patients in Carlsbad, CA

Posted By: Dr. Al A. Fallah | Published On: Sep 1, 2021 | Blog Articles

Despite the well-documented toxic effects of mercury, as many as 45% of dentists worldwide continue to use mercury amalgam fillings for their patients. Patients in Carlsbad, CA, should stay informed of the latest FDA update of mercury amalgam fillings.

This update provides additional context for the harmful effects of mercury vapor on at-risk populations. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant. Nursing mothers and their babies, children, and people with neurological disease and impaired kidney function as well as people with a mercury allergy or sensitivity to other components of dental amalgam.

There are thousands of studies documenting the harmful effects of mercury amalgam, and evidence proving its safety is scant. Dr. Fallah is dedicated to holistic dentistry to improve your oral health and provide safe restorations with minimal impact on your body. He chooses biocompatible materials and chemical-free solutions to treating issues with your oral health. Dr. Fallah can also provide safe mercury amalgam removal for patients with silver fillings and replace them with tooth-colored restorations that will blend in with the rest of your teeth.
