There are certain professions in the world that we are taught to just trust – sometimes even blindly – because they are doing a job that is both difficult, complicated, and hard to understand. No one expects to be able to understand exactly how a pilot flies a place before they check in; and no one refuses to go ahead with vital heart surgery until they can fully comprehend what the surgeon is about to do. However, that does not mean that you should ignore all of the information that you are given, and if you are given the chance to educate yourself, you should always take it. Because one of the key problems with blindly trusting a professional is that you are having to do it without any information.

Thankfully, when it comes to finding a dentist that really is mercury free, you are in luck: there are already people out there that want to help you make the right decision. There are a huge number of organizations that mercury free dentists can join, and it is up to these organizations to make sure that the dentists really and truly do not use mercury in any of their fillings. That means that they can do all of the hard work for you! All you will need to do is ensure that you look through their listings to find a mercury free dentist that is near you. The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, or the IAOMT, is one of the best places to start.

Of course, you may already be with a great dentist already – but do not worry. You may not necessarily have to leave them. Just ask what their policies are on using mercury within dentistry – you may be pleasantly surprised!
