All metals and amalgams in the mouth are corroded. Corrosion is the chemical and electrochemical effect of metals by the effects of oral fluids, heat and nutrients. At the end of this event, physical properties and durability of alloys are affected. The mouth is an ideal environment for corrosion. As a result of corosion metal ions are released, these ions passing respiratıon system by inhalation. Mercury from dental amalgams is six times higher than those taken by other means (WHO 1991 Criteria 118). Each amalgam filling releasing approximately 15 mcg of mercury per day. releases mercury. When mercury is taken orally, it is excreted in 15 days but when it is inhaled, its half-life is 18 years.
Therefore, the removal of amalgam fillers requires special conditions. Special conditions should be established for amalgam not to be dispersed and inhaled in the mouth, vitamin supplements should be given, chelation should be done for amalgam to be removed from the body. Replacing 8–10 amalgams in a very short period of time will increase the accumulation of mercury in the body, which may cause the patient to have complaints that have not been present before.
Therefore, amalgam removal conditions must be strictly observed. In our clinic, amalgams can be extracted from the teeth with the combination of SMART protocol and Erbium Laser both.
Heavy metals
In our daily lives it has become almost impossible not to be exposed to heavy metal accumulation. We are in constant contact with contaminated soils, industrial waste and contaminated food. It is exposed to contaminated drinking water, air pollutants such as exhaust directly or by inhalation.
In our daily life, dental amalgams containing heavy metals, smoking, petroleum products, steel pots, poor quality cutlery, cooking utensils, cooking with aluminum foils, deodorants, hair dyes, cosmetics, metal food containers, toner particles in office materials such as photocopiers, carpentry many sources such as chemicals used in the profession, cleaning and other household products are exposed to heavy metal poisoning.
Heavy Metal poisoning is one of the main causes of many health problems. Severe side effects result in reduced growth and developmental retardation, cancer, organ damage, nervous system damage, and death in excessive states of metal deposition.
Low levels of heavy metal deposits can even disrupt the mind and body system. It should be noted that in most cases, the mechanism of action is unnoticed until the disorders become chronic. Some heavy metals such as mercury and lead can cause diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, kidney, heart and circulatory nervous system from autoimmune problems that cause the immune system to attack its own cells.
Heavy metals can damage the mitochondria and cause many health problems. Neurological diseases, high blood pressure, digestive diseases, weight loss problems, autoimmune disorders, cancer, inflammation, sleep disorder and chronic pain are some of these diseases.
Heavy metals are metals whose densities are at least 5 times higher than the density of water. They are not processed by our body and accumulate in the body. Heavy metals commonly associated with human poisoning are lead, mercury, aluminum, arsenic, nickel and cadmium
Other heavy metals, such as copper and zinc, are necessary for the body in small amounts and show toxic effects in larger doses.
Some metals that are naturally present in the body are beneficial to our health. For example, iron prevents anemia, zinc is involved in more than 100 enzyme reactions. Metals are normally found in the body is very low. If this ratio increases, they start to have toxic effects on the body.
Sources of heavy metals are not just the foods we consume or some products we use. If industrialization is intense around us, the risk of heavy metal is higher.
Heavy metals affect all systems in our bodies. They cause diseases in the organs it accumulates. Even inhaling very heavy metals can cause serious health problems.
Heavy metals;
Suppresses the immune system.
They cause allergic reactions.
They cause genes to change.
They cause the death of beneficial bacteria and disrupt the natural flora.
Causes tissue damage.
They increase the acidity of blood.
They increase osteoporosis.
The only way to help the body fight this heavy metal is to remove toxic heavy metals from the body and eliminate the possibility of re-exposure.
Preventing the entry of heavy metals into our body is the most healthy protection method. If heavy metal accumulation has occurred, which is present in many people today, it is necessary to remove heavy metals from our body with a number of supporting products that bind heavy metals. Otherwise, we cannot live healthy. For the cleaning of heavy metals, a number of products such as bentonite, biochlorella, coriander, spurina, ozone treatment, silica can be used. Which of these should be used as a result of the examination will occur. Heavy metal cleaning is not an application that ends in a short time. In some cases, only one year of treatment can be provided with cleaning.
