Welcome to the office of Dr. Blanche Grube

It is imperative that an extremely safe protocol be followed when removing amalgams. That is what we specialize in and is what we do best.

Here is a brief explanation of what we do for you.

There are several procedures we follow prior to removal:


  • Blood test and hair analysis to evaluate present health status.
  • Multi vitamin/mineral supplements prior to amalgam removal.
  • Making sure that bowels are open and functioning well.
  • Compatibility blood test to see which dental materials you are least reactive to.

 

 

 

 

Day of mercury removal we use the following:

  1. Vitamin C IV, as a mild chelator and as a maintainer of the bodies level of glutathione
  2. Conscious sedation, for extended visits beyond two hours and to allow treatment to cross the midline of the body
  3. Mercury Vapor Ionizer to electrically neutralize the mercury gases
  4. Dental Air Vac Suction
  5. Oxygen for patient with a barrier over nose to greater eliminate the possibility of breathing in mercury vapor
  6. Complete draping of the body
  7. Protective eyewear for patient
  8. Rubber dam, to isolate the teeth being worked on and prevent particles from entering the soft tissue of the mouth
  9. Suction behind the rubber dam to absorb mercury gases that travel through the dam
  10. High speed removal of amalgam with copious amounts of water and suction, to keep mercury vapor to a minimum
  11. Slow speed drill on dentin, to lessen trauma to the living tooth
  12. Replacing filling with a compatible composite
