During the amalgam revision procedure our office is equipped to minimize exposure to mercury vapor and residual ionic fragments. This is accomplished through filter systems, an ionization process, and a patented design suction apparatus and/or rubber dam application when possible. We are a mercury-free dental office and utilize dental materials that are biologically safe and compatible. Our office follows Dr. Hal Huggins' as well as International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) protocols for dental mercury amalgam revision.

Our office features the latest in dental technology including:
Cavitational Scanner- Ultrasonic apparatus used to detect avascular and/or necrotic sites in the jawbones.
Osteonecrotic Surgery- Debridement or cleaning of necrotic or dead bone sites in jawbones.
Laser Technology- Method of performing fillings pain free eliminating the necessity of needles, as well as cleaner more accurate surgical procedures.
Digital Radiography- Allows immediate viewing, lowered exposure to X-rays, more comfortable film placement, and magnified view of images, increasing patient acceptability to treatment.
Intra oral Photography- An exciting new technology that allows capturing of images in the oral cavity that would otherwise remain unseen by the patient allowing for better understanding of treatment.
Far Infrared Sauna- Recognized as perhaps the most effective method of removing both chemical and heavy metal toxins from the body.
Ionic Foot Bath- Another process in which toxins are removed from the body ionically by submersing the feet in a special foot bath.

Our office staff will attempt to acquire as much information as possible by phone, and will mail out an information packet with registration forms and directions, to maximize patient convenience. The patient will have the opportunity to address questions to Dr. Frazier on the first visit. During this visit, when required, a pan oral X-ray, bitewing X-rays, study models, and blood pressure will be taken. The doctor will do an oral exam of hard tissue and soft tissue, cancer screening, TMJ assessment, thorough dental and medical history. At this time the doctor will determine the status of the patients' gums and surrounding tissue to ascertain what type of cleaning the patient will require. Some cleanings might be simple and others might be more involved depending on the amount of tartar buildup and the date of the last cleaning. This data will be reviewed. When indicated the doctor will present a written report and discuss the findings along with a treatment plan at the next appointment. Also when indicated, the doctor might suggest a blood serum biocompatibility test, which is an antigen-antibody test. This test will help the doctor select dental materials the patient can tolerate without the possibility of a reaction. For patients with other symptoms such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, persistent allergies, etc. the doctor will take a more investigative approach to see if there could be a relationship between the patients' health status and other existing dental conditions. Typically, the doctor enlists the assistance of either the patient's personal physician or one of the physicians or naturopaths that she is allied with to rule out such possibilities as mercury toxicity, osteomyelitis, or osteonecrosis, all of which can burden the immune system. The practitioner can test the patient for possible mercury toxicity and other invasions. If it is determined that this is a probability, the patient can begin a regime for detoxification. Supplements and other alternative support may be suggested to help rebuild the immune system. Less toxic patients would only require the basics in maintaining their optimum dental health.
