More than half of Romanians over 40, who had been treated over the years, reported at least one intervention with a heavy metal amalgam – based on mercury, beryllium, nickel or copper, a dangerous technique used mainly between the 1980s and the 1980s, Healthcare, which operates the Dental Spa and Vivo Dental Clinics that operates high -precision dental and organic dentistry.
According to a decision by the European Parliament in 2024, it was banned from 1 January 2025 throughout the European Union due to increased risk for human health. However, about 40 tonnes of mercury were still used in dental treatments in the EU last year.
By the end of last year, the technique of using heavy metal filling was banned for children under 15, pregnant women and mothers of young children.
“About 15 years ago, I wrote an article in a special magazine for the dangers behind the use of mercury amalgam in the treatment of tooth decay, which deeply disrupts the college of doctors at that time. Various studies had already begun to appear for the high risk of these human beings. More than happy that the European Union has decided to put an end to these extremely dangerous medical practices, ” Cristina obreja mdManaging Director and co -founder of Life Dental Spa said.
Heavy metals, an invisible enemy: can lead to autism and even affect the normal development of the fetus in pregnant women.
Mercury is an extremely toxic chemical that is a threat to both human health and the environment. Exposure to high levels of mercury can cause damage to the brain, lungs, kidneys and immune system, show life group data.
According to Cristina OBREJA MD, copper – increases oxidative stress, affecting cellular health, nickel – is a powerful allergen that can cause serious reactions, beryl, cadmium, male or chromium – are carcinogenic, Verion and the nervous system.
“From the beginning of dental spa, and more recently in vivo dental, we use little invasive, non -toxic laser, no BPA, pure ceramic fillings, crowns, positions and dental implants from high biocompati Possible to remove the dangers in which they expose themselves. affect normal fetal development in pregnant women ” Cristina Obreja MD added.
The cost of laser treatment of a cavity varies between RON 300 and 600. Non -solving the problem can lead to more than 10 times cost.
Laser treatment of a cavity in dental Life Dental Spa or Vivo dental clinics ranges between 300 and 600 ron, depending on the area or advertising packages available.
“In all our clinics we use lasers to deal with dental problems in a minimally invasive way and patients are happy to return whenever needed, medical staff is very well trained and we have experts to deal with any dental problems, from pediatontists-doctors and specialized children. If you look at the statistics, the reality is that very few people go to the dentist for prevention, most of them cross the threshold of clinics when the pain is already there or the intervention becomes more complicated and expensive. A cavity, for example, which has not been treated in time, can cost more than 10 times more as a mere preventive treatment. We’re talking about the root channels, dental crown or, in the worst case scenario, dental implants, ” Cristina Obreja MD pointed out.
Dental treatment, when it is too late to improve the problem, can cost the patient up to Ron 5,000 for a single tooth.
