Mercury Free (Amalgam Silver Filling Free), Mercury Safe, Holistic, Cosmetic, and Family Dentistry
About Our Mercury Safe Dental Practice
Dr. Green's "Mercury Safe Dentist" office is located in Frankfort, IN. He is mercury free (amalgam/silver filling free) and mercury safe and he is dedicated to the practice of health-based dentistry. His goal 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 can make educated decisions about their oral health. He fully understands the critically important relationship of oral to overall health and realizes that; "You cannot be truly healthy without good oral health!"
Safe Mercury Amalgam/Silver Filling Removal Protocols
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Green 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.

A Personal Note from Dr. Tom
I know Dr. Green personally and consider him to be a highly trained, experienced and skilled mercury free, biological dentist. 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 about this issue.
He is one of the pioneers in promoting biological dentistry and in the use of cutting edge technology and healthy, holistic treatment protocols. He is also aware of the importance of safely removing mercury and other heavy metals from the teeth and body. His extensive training in cosmetic and holistic 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 biological and mercury free dentist. Dr. Green 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 him and be sure to say hello to him for me.
