Is there a safe way to do this given what we now know about my allergies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Layla<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear Layla,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mercury-free-b-a.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mercury-free-b-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1147\" width=\"510\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mercury-free-b-a.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mercury-free-b-a-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safe Amalgam Removal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s start with the fillings you need to remove and replace. In order to do this safely, especially with your allergies, you will need a dentist who knows and has the equipment for a sanitary amalgam removal.  This will be important so you do not inhale or swallow any mercury or mercury vapors, not to mention any other materials you may be allergic to that are in those amalgam fillings. I would also wear clothing over as much of your skin as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two types of dentists that will be the most willing to work with you and understand how to do amalgam removal properly. The first is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/mercury-free-dentist-phoenix.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mercury-free dentist<\/a>. The second is a biological or holistic dentist. I would do an internet search for those. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants and Dental Allergies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants are a little easier. While there are metal free implants available made of zirconia, the traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/dental-implants-phoenix.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dental implants<\/a> made from titanium are very bio-compatible. It is rare for someone to have a titanium allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefit to the traditional implants is their proven longevity and the amount of long-term data we have on them. Titanium has been used for decades in prosthetics, not just in implants, but in hips and other joints. The only downside to the zirconia is we don&#8217;t have that data as they are fairly new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope this helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peckfamilydentistry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phoenix Dentist<\/a> Dr. Hillary Peck. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been having problems in my mouth as well as with some skin conditions.
