Dr. Robert Petrtyl of Cincinnati, OH has been providing general, pediatric, and restorative dentistry in the area for many years and has a wealth of patients who continue to trust him and the excellent dental care services he offers. Aside from the many services offered at the dental center, including teeth cleaning, extractions, and more, Dr. Robert Petrtyl takes great pleasure in providing his patients with important dental knowledge.

Today, he will share a couple negative impacts of amalgam fillings that everyone should know about:

• Amalgam Is Toxic To People And The Environment: Amalgam, or mercury, is extremely toxic not only to people, but the environment. Amalgam actually releases mercury into the environment and negatively affects soil, water, and the atmosphere. On top of that, it is very damaging to human health. Dr. Robert Petrtyl is more than happy to discuss with patients the dangers of amalgam and alternate solutions. 

• Amalgam Is Not The Best Option: Aside from the fact that amalgam is very harmful to people and their dental health, it is also not the highest quality option to choose from. Dr. Robert Petrtyl recommends different filling options that are long-lasting, environmentally friendly, and able to preserve the overall health of the tooth.
