We are dedicated to safe amalgam removal

  • Welcome to the office of Dr. Blanche D. Grube It is imperative that an extremely safe protocol be followed when removing amalgams. That is what we are dedicated to 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:
    1. Blood test and hair analysis to evaluate present health status.
    2. Multi vitamin/mineral supplements prior to amalgam removal.
    3. Making sure that bowels are open and functioning well.
    4. 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 body's 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 reduce the possibility of breathing in mercury vapor
    6. Complete draping of the body including protective eyewear for patient
    7. Rubber dam, to isolate the teeth being worked on and prevent particles from entering the soft tissue of the mouth. Sulfur is used on our non-allergic patients to prevent mercury gases from traveling through the dam.
    8. Suction behind the rubber dam to absorb mercury gases that travel through the dam
    9. High speed removal of amalgam with copious amounts of water and suction, to keep mercury vapor to a minimum
    10. Slow...speed drill on dentin, to lessen trauma to the living tooth
    10a. Use of ozone to sterilize prior to restoration placement.
    11. Replace filling with a compatible composite
    12. Completion of all surgical procedures by the doctor
    13. Post treatment education concerning detoxification
    14. Acupressure and massage provided for patient rehabilitation
