Dr. Katie To exposes a contradiction: the U.S. requires dental offices to filter mercury from wastewater, but allows it directly in patients' mouths through amalgam fillings. She quit traditional dentistry after realizing the exposure was harming her, then found biological dentistry, a practice that avoids mercury and has protected patients for over 40 years.
We all realize that this is a bigger problem than we think, and it's not even just our profession. It's something that the country and the world have to acknowledge, that mercury is toxic, and we know that. The funny thing is that in July 2020, they make a national mandate for every single dental office in the country to have amalgam separator, which is mercury separator, before the water from the dental office can go into the public water system. But they do not care if that mercury goes into your mouth or goes into your dentist's body. And so that's when I was given the choice of, you've got to quit dentistry because it's killing you, or you have to practice differently. But nobody told me different— what differently means until I found the IBDM. And they said, we've been doing this for over 40 years as biological dentists.
