Mercury use on the decline

Mercury use on the decline

Apr 23, 2010 | General

I wanted to post something here that came to my attention. Mercury use is on the decline in recent years. This is great to hear and will hopefully diminish the job that holistic dentists have, removing mercury fillings for people in the safest way possible. I found this information on the website of the IMERC (Interstate Mercury Education & Recuction Clearinghouse) website…..”The decrease in the use of dental amalgam from 2004 to 2007 was 14 tons, or approximately 46%.” That is great! Check out this website to read more

According to this site, dental amalgam is the second largest category of mercury use in products. And unlike any other product with mercury added to it, there are no restrictions on the sale or distribution of dental amalgam. That is scary! So maybe Holistic Dentists will still have work after all!

Check out more of my website to read more about Bay Area Holistic Dentistry and call us if you have any questions.

I never leave reviews. However I have been searching for a new dentist for awhile now and this was definitely what I had in mind. I loved that they had a 7am time slot because as a mom of a child on the spectrum I’ll be honest it’s hard to find the time for my own appointments when we have so many therapy appointments a week for her. It was extremely helpful to be able to get it done before her therapy sessions start. The first thing I noticed was how beautiful the office was. Not just aesthetically but all the way down to the air quality. They had Air Doctor air purifiers in every exam room and in the hallways. As someone who is suffering from mold toxicity I appreciate clean air like I do clean water. Sometimes when I explain how mold has effected my health doctors dismiss my chronic illness symptoms and it can feel a little condescending but Dr. Partrite was not just great at listening to me but also very engaged and open to learning more about my experience. Mikey did my cleaning and clearly loved the office vibes. He had great energy and made me feel like a friend. Actually, the entire staff was like this: happy, healthy and acted as if they took pride in working at a biological dentist office that is genuinely doing things the right way with integrity. I am grateful we found this place and cant wait for my daughter and husband to be seen next.

This is my all-time favorite dentistry office. I live all the way in San Francisco and continue to come all the way to Danville because I love the staff and the care that I get here. A special shout out to Noreen, who has been my hygienist for years and actually helped get me to the office when I had slight transportation issue today. Everyone here is first class.. They also give you the best complementary toothbrushes you could ask for after your appointment they gave you the best complementary toothbrushes after your appointment!
