Electromagnetic Fields and Dental Metals: Emerging Risks and Clinical Implications
Wireless technology has become a constant in modern life—WiFi, smartphones, and 5G are all part of our daily environment. At the same time, millions of people still carry dental metals such as amalgam fillings, metal crowns, and titanium implants.
Research suggests that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) may interact with these metals in concerning ways:
Mercury release: Amalgam fillings exposed to EMFs have been shown to release more mercury vapor.
Galvanic activity: Different metals in the mouth can create electrical currents, irritating tissues and altering microbial balance.
Oxidative stress: Both metals and EMFs generate free radicals, amplifying cellular stress.
Patient symptoms: Headaches, fatigue, brain fog, and oral discomfort are frequently reported, often improving after safe amalgam removal.
In this new white paper, Dr. John Johnson reviews the latest science, shares clinical insights, and explains why metal-free dentistry is not just a preference, but a forward-looking health strategy.
