Toxic Mercury in Your Mouth

The shiny silver filings that entered your mouth some twenty or more years ago have been proven to be toxic for your health. Those silver amalgam fillings in your teeth contain 50 % mercury. What’s even more alarming is that the most toxic metal on the planet is mercury. At just room temperature mercury emits invisible toxic vapors that are colorless, odorless and tasteless. These vapors are consequently, easily and continually absorbed in your bloodstream, 24 hours a day. Mercury can adversely affect the immune, cardiac, urinary, respiratory and digestive systems.

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a leading expert in biocompatible dentistry in Beverly Hills, can help you correct the toxic mercury problems living in your teeth. He can take out the silver-mercury amalgam fillings with a system that protects your health and the environment. He uses hospital rated 3-filter air purification and filtration.
