Mercury-Free White Fillings in Rancho Cucamonga
Fillings are necessary to preserve the health of your teeth and to keep small problems from becoming large, painful ones. Decayed areas of the tooth are removed, cleaned, and then a filling is placed in the tooth cavity. For many years dentists used a mercury-containing material to fill in the tooth cavity also known as an amalgam fillings.
Exposure to high levels of mercury can result in symptoms that typically include sensory impairment (vision, hearing, speech), disturbed sensation and a lack of coordination.
At Azzawi Dental we offer our patients the option of using non-mercury fillings, this has a number key benefits:
No risk of mercury poisoning
Look natural because tooth colored material is used
Less sensitivity to cold temperatures
