NEW! Dr. Tom McGuire's new Video, Mercury: The Poison in Your Teeth conclusively proves that amalgam/silver fillings not only release toxic mercury vapor - but that the common act of brushing just one amalgam filling - will release more mercury than allowed by governmental regulatory agencies at the workplace!

A Personal Note from Dr. Tom
I know Dr. Smith and agree with his holistic approach to dental treatment. He belongs to a number of prominent holistic dental organizations and is a very experienced mercury free and health-oriented dentist. He continues to take advanced courses in many areas of dentistry in order to provide his patients with the latest in modern dental treatment. He is aware of the important relationship between oral and overall health and takes that knowledge and experience into consideration when planning his dental treatment.
Dr. Smith's ongoing training in cosmetic dentistry and his concern for his patients' health and well-being makes him ideally suited to safely remove and replace amalgam fillings. He is a Charter Member of the IAMFD and I recommend him to anyone seeking an experienced and skilled biological and mercury free dentist.
He has completed my course, and received his Certification, in How to Make Your Practice Mercury Safe - Minimizing Occupational Exposure to Mercury in the Dental Office. This is the only course of its kind offered to dentists and qualifies him to safely remove mercury amalgam fillings safely, protecting himself, his staff, his patients and the environment from excessive and unnecessary exposure to mercury at the dental office.
I encourage you to visit his website to learn more about his philosophy and approach to holistic dentistry. When you visit his office, please let him know where you found out about him and say hello to him from me. Thanks!
