Is Akamai Mineral Toothpowder Safe with Silver Amalgam Fillings?

Our Mineral Toothpowder is safe for people who have Amalgam fillings or any metal work in their mouth, in the sense that it will not react to them (clay and metal).

Bentonite clay is known to help remove heavy metals, including Mercury. It has been used to help detox the mouth and body related to mercury from Amalgam Fillings. Bentonite will grab any free mercury in the mouth, however, it will not "pull" from the existing filling (or any other metal work in the mouth - braces, crowns, etc). The bond of the metal in the filling is stronger than the pull of the clay. Only in extreme circumstances, where wet clay is stored in a metal container for long periods would the clay react with the metal.

Any toothpowder left in the mouth, intentionally or unintentionally, is not enough to pull or degrade the metal.

We strongly encourage customers with Amalgam fillings to have them safely removed since mercury will always be present in the mouth (with the fillings) - the amount will diminish over time.
