Mercury fillings—also known as dental amalgams—contain a significant amount of mercury, a heavy metal that can place a toxic burden on the body over time.
Research has shown that mercury exposure may affect mitochondria, DNA repair, and immune function, all of which play important roles in maintaining cellular health. When these systems are disrupted, it can contribute to chronic inflammation and make it harder for the body to defend against disease.
Mercury released from fillings doesn’t necessarily stay in the mouth. Over time, it can circulate through the body and accumulate in organs such as the brain, liver, thyroid, and kidneys, which are essential for detoxification and immune balance.
At LifeWorks Wellness Center, we take a comprehensive approach by helping patients safely address potential toxic burdens while supporting the body’s natural detox and healing processes.
