For over twenty-five years, Dr .Robbins(Retired) has practiced mercury-free, fluoride-free, and toxic metal-free family dentistry. He emphasized preventative care and restorative and cosmetic procedures in a clean, healthy, and safe manner (BIOSAFEDENTISTRY). We do not allow toxic mercury and other metals to be used for oral restoration. The “silver” fillings in people’s teeth are actually amalgam fillings, an alloy containing 50% elemental mercury! Research has continuously demonstrated the release of mercury vapor, a potent neurotoxin, from dental amalgam fillings. This “off-gassing” of mercury into the body from fillings in one’s teeth is constant and increases with chewing, hot beverages, and eating. Deciding to have one’s mercury fillings removed is a decision each patient must make, however, removal of these fillings without precautions can make patients ill from methyl mercury exposure. Fluoride use is another dangerous chemical we do not allow in our office. We believe your overall health is as important as your dental health.
