Learn the importance of biological dentistry with Lawrence, KS area dentists

At Lawrence Dental Solutions, we are aware of the link between one’s oral health and the health of the body. Our practice in Lawrence, KS focuses on biological dentistry, which is a holistic manner of working with patients in achieving and maintaining oral health—and overall wellness. With an approach such as biological dentistry, patients can rest easy that we are performing services and treatments that avoid toxicity, especially when patients are exposed to mercury commonly found in fillings.

Why mercury-free treatments?

Mercury-free treatments are incredibly important for one’s oral health. Many dentists use fillings to address areas of decay that are fabricated with a high percentage of mercury. Mercury vapor is toxic to the human body, and when the mouth is heated through chewing or drinking warm beverages, it can release this vapor into the patient’s body. Mercury toxicity is a serious concern and should not be taken lightly.

Instead of using mercury fillings called “silver amalgam” fillings, we use composite resin fillings. These filings are mercury-free and allow us to provide natural dentistry solutions rather than toxic materials that are dangerous for the body.

Mercury removal

In addition to avoiding the placement of mercury in the smile, we also provide mercury safe removal. When patients are worried about mercury exposure, they need to work with a dentist who can safely eliminate the mercury filling from the mouth and replace it with a material that:

• Does not release toxins
• Is more aesthetic

Composite resin fillings are more predictable and reliable, making them the ideal alternative in natural dentistry.
