When you have amalgam fillings removed, you have to be sure you don't get exposed to a lot of mercury during the procedure. This means seeing a dentist that is specially trained in safe mercury removal.

You also want to follow protocols that will help you protect yourself before, during and after.

Since we get asked questions like this a lot, I prepared some articles that help:

I hope this helps.
