Mercury-free dentistry

About our mercury-free approach

In recent years, the use of amalgam fillings has significantly declined across the UK, which we view as a positive move forward. Notably, since 2018, EU regulations have prohibited the use of amalgam fillings in children—a clear indication of the evolving trend towards safer, mercury-free dentistry.

At Taverham Dental Health Clinic, we have long upheld the principle of a completely metal-free practice. This commitment is based on numerous reasons, which we'd be happy to discuss further during your visit.

Safe and researched alternatives

When it comes to replacing amalgam fillings, we offer a composite alternative. These materials have undergone extensive research, demonstrating superior performance and safety compared to traditional amalgam.

Each patient requiring this treatment choice receives a detailed explanation during their initial consultation.
