About Mercury-Free Dentistry
About half of all dentists in the U.S. still use “silver” amalgam, 50 percent of which is actually mercury, not silver. Mercury is the most volatile and toxic of the heavy metals, and the vapors released when chewing or brushing pose a clear and present danger to health, especially your brain and kidneys. That is why at Main Street Dental Care’s office, we use mercury free options for all of the dentistry that we offer.
