              Protocol in Amalgam Removal
        
             We follow a strict protocol in the removal of Amalgam (Mercury) fillings:
             Initial Consultation The most valuable part of the mercury removal protocol is the "information gathering" session.
             It allows us to determine the present state of your dental health and compile an accurate record of your medical       
             history. If you require additional testing to complete your assessment, it can be scheduled at this time . 
      
             Treatment Plan Consultation  A thorough history allows Dr. Kao to plan a successful treatment plan for your 
             your individual situation. You will co-operatively work out a plan including a dental support treatment plan with 
             nutritional and botanical support.
 
             During the Dental Treatment: Mercury Removal  It would be quite dangerous to have mercury fillings drilled out 
             without the necessary precautions. A dentist needs to be properly trained in mercury removal procedures. City 
             Dental Wellness Centre follows the guidelines established by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and 
             Toxicology. If these protocols are followed then the amount mercury released during amalgam removal is reduced.
              
             1) Place a rubber dam around the tooth to isolate it from the body.
             2) Provide an alternate source of air to the patient with a  nasal hood 
             3) All removal must be done under cold water spray with copious amounts of water
             4) Use high volume evacuation with isolate attachment to evacuate the mercury vapour from the area of the patient.
             5) Section amalgams and remove in as large pieces as possible
