The recent concern about lead on imported toys and products from China is a warning for all of us to be concerned about our immediate environment. I am sure that you checked the packaging on gifts you gave and got for the holidays and that is a good start.
But, in your vigilance over toxic substances, don’t forget your fillings if you have black, silver or amalgam fillings. These fillings contain Mercury unlike modern “white” ceramic fillings.
In our office, I offer the CEREC system, which can create your crown while you wait, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and a second appointment. Another benefit of CEREC is that your crown is milled from lead-free and metal-free porcelain.
If you have black fillings but you will not buy a toy from China that has a lead warning, you still have some work today. Why not schedule an appointment with me to discuss the importance of replacing black, silver and amalgam fillings with white fillings?
