About Our Mercury Safe Dental Practice
Dr. John Garrett's "Mercury Safe Dentist" office is located in Tulsa, OK. He is a holistic, mercury free (amalgam/silver filling free) and mercury safe dentist and is dedicated to practicing safe and healthy dentistry. His mission is to treat his patients in the most healthy, caring, holistic way possible and to share information about dental wellness with his patients so that they may make educated decisions about their oral health. He also fully understands the important relationship of oral to overall health and realizes that; "You cannot be truly healthy without good oral health!"

Safe Amalgam/Silver Filling Removal Protocols
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Garrett is aware that mercury vapor, dental infections, and TMJ (bite) problems can have a negative impact on oral and overall health. Because of this concern, our office focuses 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. Making the dental office mercury safe is supported by the American Dental Association (ADA) and other dental organizations. For information about why it's important to use a mercury safe dentist, Click Here.

To accomplish this, we utilize safe amalgam removal protocols based on recommendations of the International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD) and other prominent biological and holistic dental organizations. For more information about why we use safe removal protocols and an explanation of what they are, Click Here.

At this time, Dr. Garrett is one of a small number of IAOMT members who qualifies as a SMART Certified IAOMT dentist. With the SMART designation you can be confident that he is fully qualified to safely remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings.

A Personal Note from Dr. Tom


I know Dr. Garrett and I am impressed with the depth of his knowledge and understanding about the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and his effort to educate his patients. He is a highly trained, dedicated, experienced and skilled holistic dentist and utilizes his knowledge and training when designing dental treatment plans for his patients.

His patients have an added advantage because his wife, Kristen, is a chiropractor and that means Dr. Garrett's patients will have access to her knowledge as a qualified health professional.

His ongoing post-graduate training in holistic, cosmetic ,and traditional dentistry and his concern for the safe removal of amalgam fillings makes him ideally suited to remove and replace them. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a caring health focused, mercury free and mercury safe dentist.

Dr. Garrett is active in the efforts to educate the public that dental treatment is critically important to overall health and to advance healthy, mercury safe, and biocompatible dentistry. He is also a Charter Member of the International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD). When you visit his office, please let him know where you found out about him and say hello to him from me. Thanks!
