If you've been putting off going to the dentist because of COVID-19, you may want to rethink that! A new study found that people with gum disease had a 9x (900%) greater chance of dying of COVID, and were 3.5-4.5x more likely to be put on a ventilator. We at Elite Smiles take oral health seriously, and hope you do to.

The chances of ending up in intensive care or on a ventilator is 3.54 and 4.57 times greater, respectively.

Over 60% of the population is recommended to avoid mercury fillings according to the FDA. Mercury is neurotoxic to 100% of the population. We recommend Mercury SAFE removal here at Elite Smiles, and only place biocompatible tooth-colored restorations on our patients. Never Mercury fillings which contain 50% mercury.

The infographic was created in 2020 to demonstrate that the FDA considers 60% of the U.S. population as high-risk for adverse health outcomes from dental amalgam mercury fillings.

We're getting closer! Today the FDA issued a statement sharing a warning to avoid mercury containing fillings in high risk populations due to mercury v***r release that occurs with these types of fillings. It also briefly discusses the issues that people have with metal devices (including fillings) that are placed in the body.
At Elite Smiles, we go a little further and avoid metal, including mercury fillings. We are a biomimetic office that restores teeth with the most biologically accepted materials. We also practice mercury SMART safe amalgam removal. We don't believe mercury is good for anyone, especially since it is the most neurotoxic, non-radioactive element on the planet. Did you know that?
