You Deserve Dental Work That Doesn’t Compromise Your Health

Why SMART mercury removal matters

Dental amalgam fillings contain 50% elemental mercury—a neurotoxin linked to inflammation, immune suppression, and cognitive decline. Every time you chew, brush, or drink something warm, mercury vapor is released. And because it’s odorless and invisible, you may never realize what’s harming you.


At Tetrahealth, we follow the IAOMT-certified SMART protocol to reduce mercury exposure and safeguard your health. Our safety-first approach includes:

High-powered suction & air filtration to eliminate airborne mercury particles

Rubber dam isolation to prevent ingestion of mercury debris

Nasal oxygen to avoid inhaling vapor

Biocompatible replacements to restore your smile—without toxins

Protective Barriers including gowns, drapes, and facial protection

High-Volume Evacuation & Ionization to capture airborne mercury

Biologic Replacement Materials that are metal-free and BPA-free

Post-Treatment Detox Guidance such as nutrition, IV therapy, and sauna protocols

This isn’t just good dentistry—it’s whole-body protection.
