Lotus Dental provides a range of safe solutions for various dental health problems. Their dental amalgam replacements are effective alternatives to the commonly used silver fillings. Silver fillings consist of 50% mercury mixed with other metals such as tin, zinc, copper and silver. These mercury alloys are called amalgams, which are very harmful for human health. Alternatives to dental amalgam fillings, which are functional, aesthetic and biocompatible are provided by the company. These dental amalgam replacements are made using materials such as composite resin, porcelain, zirconium and gold. Dental amalgam replacements are all tooth coloured and biocompatibility testing has been done on all these materials to ensure that they do not cause adverse reactions when implanted in the mouth.
Mercury detoxification programmes are also conducted by the company for those desiring to have their existing amalgam fillings replaced with these amalgam products. Additionally, solutions are also provided to those who would want to remove the stored mercury from their bodies. Amalgam replacements are highly essential because amalgam used in conventional dental fillings releases significant amounts of mercury over time, which distributes into tissues in the body. Mercury heavy metals can cross placental barriers and cause adverse effects to the brain, kidneys, immune system and reproductive organs of the body.
