Resources For Related to Non-Toxic Dentistry *Important Note*: Some of these organizations provide lists of toxic-free dentists. Just because a dentist does not use mercury, does not mean that the dentist is a "good" dentist. It is important to learn as much as possible about a quality amalgam removal protocol and options for replacements of fillings and crowns before automatically accepting whatever the dentist says. Dentists should be willing to discuss the procedures and options in detail with the patient. Try to find a dentist who has extensive experiencing removing amalgam and placing lower toxicity fillings (e.g., composites). If you feel uneasy about what your dentist recommends, get a second opinion from another toxic-free dentist or post a question to the AMALGAM mailing list (see below). 1.
