Hi Joyce,

Safe protocol involves the use of a rubber dam to prevent the mouth

from being contaminated by the mercury as it is drilled, the use of

oxygen or air so you as a patient do not breathe in the mercury

vapor, sometimes charcoal is placed under the tongue to help

detoxify anything you might swallow or that gets into your saliva,

and some kind of vacuum device that sucks up the mercury dust as the

dentist is drilling. Also I think a slower drill is preferred,

don't remember why. I think that is most of it.

If safe protocol is not used by a mercury-free dentist, you can just

get re-poisoned by the exposure of having them drilled out. I am

pretty sure that is part of what happened to me.
