Compatibility (allergy) testing for replacement materials.
In the surgery environment:
1. Amalgams are removed sequentially
2. Rubber dam is used
3. High speed suction & high speed burs are used
4. Oxygen administration while removing amalgams.
Quality control check after the last amalgam is removed to ensure total amalgam removal has taken place.
Additional chelating agents available to help in excretion of mercury in conjunction with detox program.
Final testing of mercury levels in the tissues after amalgam is removed is available.

Two levels of detox are available at the practice:

Level One involves utilizing specific antioxidants and some naturopathic supplements.
