Dr. Gary Larsen's "Mercury Safe Dentist" office is located in Clovis, CA. He is amalgam/silver filling free, non-toxic, 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 Filling Removal Protocols
As your Oral Health Doctor, Dr. Larsen is aware that mercury vapor, dental infections, and TMJ (bite) problems can have a negative impact on oral and overall health. Because of these concerns, we focus on patient education and strive to remove mercury amalgam (silver) fillings in the safest way possible.

To accomplish this, we utilize safe & proven removal protocols based on recommendations of the International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD) and other prominent biological and holistic dental organizations.

Holistic Dentistry is a philosophy that recognizes that the teeth and associated oral structures are a part of the whole body. Because of this important relationship, we offer a wide range of treatment options.

This Whole Body philosophy stresses the use of non-toxic, biocompatible dental materials whenever possible. He also works closely with highly qualified health professionals to assist him in his efforts to return the patient to optimal oral and overall health. His Health-Focused - Patient First approach to holistic dentistry means that he treats the teeth, jaw, and related oral structures, with specific regard to how that treatment will affect the entire body.

About Dr. Larsen
Dr. Gary Larsen graduated from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 1994.  A few years later he began to suffer with health disturbances.  While investigating these disturbances,  he became outraged when he discovered that he had been posioned by a dental material that he was told in dental school was perfectly safe!  As a result, it became obvious to Dr. Larsen that the dental profession had deceived him.  As a result, he began questioning the saftey of all dental materials, products and techniques.  After extensive research and biocompatibly testing Dr. Larsen finally finally became the kind of dentist he is today.

Dr. Larsen has devoted his dental career to practicing healthy, holistic, non-toxic, non-invasive, biocompatible dentistry. He is also a proponent of making the dental office occupationally safe regarding mercury and he strives to protect the patient, the staff, and the environment from excessive and unnecessary exposure to mercury at the dental office.

Patient Education
Our dental practice is dedicated to patient education. As a member of Dr. Tom McGuire's International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD) we work closely with him to support our goal of providing important information to our patients about numerous oral health that can affect overall health, including issues related to mercury amalgam (silver) fillings. While the decision to remove these fillings, or not, lies solely with the patient - we feel it is our responsibility to provide information about them, from a credible 3rd party source.

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! It also tells you what you can do about it. Click Here to watch this amazing video demonstration - and don’t forget to tell your friends and family!
