Safe Amalgam/Silver Filling Removal Protocols
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Rae is aware that mercury vapor can have a negative impact on oral and overall health. Because of this concern, we focus on patient education and strive to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in a safe way.
We believe it is important to protect the patient, the environment, and our staff from exposure to excessive and unnecessary occupational exposure to mercury during the amalgam removal process. Doing so is supported by the ADA and other dental organizations. Dr. Rae is also a S.M.A.R.T. certified member of the IAOMT.

A Personal Note from Dr. Tom
I have spoken with Dr. Rae at length about her approach and philosophy of mercury safe, dentistry. I consider her to be a dedicated, well trained, experienced and caring dentist. I am impressed with the depth of her knowledge and understanding about the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and her ongoing effort to educate her patients. She also utilizes this knowledge when designing the treatment of her patients.
Her concern for her patients' health, her ongoing training in cosmetic, and traditional dentistry; along with her commitment to safely remove amalgam fillings makes her ideally suited to remove and replace them. Dr. Rae took over the practice of Dr. Sharon Dickerson. Dr. Dickerson is an extraordinarily well trained mercury safe dentist and mentored Dr. Rae. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring cosmetic, mercury free and mercury safe dentist.
Dr. Rae is also a Charter Member of the International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD). I recommend that you visit her website to learn more about her approach to dentistry. When you visit her office please tell her where you found out about her and say hello to her for me. Thanks!
