Courtesy: The IAOMT Because of who we are The IAOMT, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is a trusted academy of allied professionals providing resources to support new levels of integrity and safety in health care. We are also a global network of over 800 dentists, health professionals, and scientists who share the principles of science-based biological dentistry with each other, our communities, and the world. In other words, we have been working together since our inception in 1984 to help establish the integral relation of the oral cavity to the rest of the body and overall wellness, thereby promoting public health and the concept of integrative medicine. Because of what we do…We encourage the practice of mercury-free, mercury-safe, and biological dentistry and aim to help others understand what these terms actually mean in clinical application:
 Because of how we do it We achieve our mission of protecting public health by funding and promoting relevant research, accumulating and disseminating scientific information, investigating and promoting non-invasive scientifically valid therapies, and educating medical professionals, policy makers, and the general public. In this regard, IAOMT members have been expert witnesses about dental products and practices before the US Congress, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, the Philippines Department of Health, the European Commission Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks, and other government bodies around the globe. The IAOMT is an accredited member of the United Nations Environment Programme’s Global Mercury Partnership, which led to the 2013 Minamata Convention on Mercury. We also continually offer outreach programs to dentists, healthcare professionals, the public, and others. Because of our training and education All IAOMT member dentists are offered the opportunity to further their knowledge of biological dentistry by participating in workshops, online learning, conferences, and certifications. For example, dentists who are SMART certified have received training in amalgam removal that involves learning about the application of the rigorous safety measures, including the utilization of specific equipment. As another example, dentists who have achieved Accreditation from the IAOMT have been trained and tested in the comprehensive application of biological dentistry, including units on Safe Removal of Amalgam Fillings, Biocompatibility, Heavy Metal Detoxification, Fluoride Harms, Biological Periodontal Therapy, and Root Canal Hazards. Because of our recognition that each patient is unique Biocompatibility involves understanding that each patient is unique in their needs and their potential health harms and benefits. Additionally, the IAOMT promotes materials reiterating the fact that specific sub-populations and susceptible groups require special attention, such as pregnant women, women of child-bearing age, children, and individuals with other adverse health conditions such as allergies, kidney problems, and multiple sclerosis. Courtesy: The IAOMT  Dr. Don D. Jones, Jr. has been a proud member of IAOMT since 2008. He is also SMART certified and serves the Social Circle, Georgia and surrounding areas.

Whether your dentist is a member of the IAOMT or not, it is very important that you know your dentist! Knowing your dentist means that you have a clear understanding of any treatment plans for you and how these treatments will be performed. The IAOMT advocates and promotes such patient-doctor dialogue, as it establishes a collaborative effort, reasonable expectations, mutual respect, and in the best case scenario, improved health. Note also that just as every patient is unique, so is every dentist. Even within the membership of the IAOMT, each dentist has preferences for which treatments are performed and how they are performed. While we offer educational programs and resources to all of our members, it is up to the individual dentist as to which educational resources are utilized and how practices are implemented. This same concept can basically be applied to all doctors: In the end, each doctor makes decisions pertaining to practices and patients based on their own knowledge, experience, and professional judgement. That being said, taking that time to know your dentist can be very helpful to you as patient. You might consider asking questions such as the following:  What is your position on the mercury issue? How much knowledge do you possess about dental mercury? If a dentist is knowledgeable about the mercury issue and understands mercury biochemistry, it is likely they will take biological dentistry or the amalgam filling removal process seriously. Be concerned if you hear, “I don’t think the mercury in fillings is a big deal, but I’ll take it out if you like.” This is probably a dentist that isn’t very concerned about recommendations for safety measures. Familiarize yourself with the terminology of dental practices associated with measures to reduce mercury exposures. There are a variety of methods dentists employ to address the harms of mercury, so it is essential to acknowledge the specific aims of each of these types of dentistry.
You should also understand that dentists cannot, per the American Dental Association, tell you to have your fillings removed for toxicological reasons. In fact, some dentists have been disciplined and/or fined for speaking out against dental mercury and encouraging its removal. So, keep in mind that your dentist might not want to discuss mercury removal from a toxicological perspective. What is your understanding of biocompatibility and biological dentistry? Remember that “biological” or “biocompatible” dentistry typically refers to dental practices that utilize mercury-free and mercury-safe dentistry while also considering the impact of dental conditions, devices, and treatments on oral and systemic health, including the biocompatibility of dental materials and techniques. A dentist knowledgeable about biological dentistry will have an answer in regard to “biocompatibility” which is defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary as “compatibility with living tissue or a living system by not being toxic, injurious, or physiologically reactive and not causing immunological rejection.” You might also want to ask what types of training the dentist has in biological dentistry and why the dentist has chosen specific treatments and/or practices for you.  What precautions do you take to safely remove dental amalgam mercury fillings?
Traditional safe amalgam removal techniques include the use of masks, water irrigation, and high volume suction. However, the IAOMT’s Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) supplements these conventional strategies with a number of additional protective measures. Patients are encouraged to utilize the IAOMT’s SMART Checklist with their dentists to make sure that both parties agree upon which precautions will be used, even if the dentist is SMART-certified by the IAOMT. The SMART Checklist also helps patients and dentists to establish expectations and understandings prior to the actual amalgam removal procedure. What is your experience in working with patients who ___________? This is your opportunity to find out whether the dentist has expertise in whatever area you are concerned about or interested in. In other words, you can fill-in-the-blank in the question above to relate to your unique patient needs. Some examples that dentists have heard before include: patients who want fluoride-free options, patients who are pregnant, patients who want to become pregnant, patients who are breastfeeding, patients who are allergic to eugenol, patients who are having an issue with a root canal, patients with periodontal disease, patients with claustrophobia, patients with multiple sclerosis, etc. Based on the dentist’s previous experiences or willingness to learn, you can make an informed decision about whether or not you feel comfortable with the treatment plan. How do you utilize patient informed consent? As a patient, you reserve (and deserve!) the right to be informed about the materials and procedures that will be used during your appointments. So, it is essential to make sure that your dentist will provide you with informed consent (which is basically patient permission for a health professional to use a certain material or procedure). Properly designed informed consent forms carefully explain what the potential benefits, potential harms, and alternatives to the material/procedure are. How do you stay current on new research and developments related to dentistry, oral health, and overall health? You probably want to make sure that your dentist is actively involved in learning about the latest developments in dentistry, medicine, and health care. This means that the dentist reads a variety of research articles, attends professional conferences and meetings, is a member of professional groups, and/or communicates with other dental and medical professionals on a regular basis. COURTESY: IAOMT at www.iaomt.org/for-patients/know-your-dentist/ Every dentist has his/her own opinions about mercury based on education, experiences, and sources of trade and scientific information. Some dentists do not use mercury because it is known to be harmful, while others defend it because they were taught in the past to believe it is not dangerous. For those dentists who do recognize the risks of mercury, there are a variety of practice philosophies that exist. That’s why it is essential to acknowledge the specific aims of each of these types of dentistry:
While positions on mercury vary widely within the field of dentistry, these talking points should assist you in discussing the topic with your dentist.  1. Remember your rights as a patient at all times. As a patient, you have the right to know what is being put in your mouth. You also have the right to express concerns about any treatment offered to you, including the use of mercury/amalgam/silver fillings, all of which contain approximately 50% mercury. As part of your patient rights, you can ask to see the “Safety Data Sheet” (formerly called an “MSDS”) for mercury fillings and other dental materials. These descriptive sheets explain health hazards of chemical products. Additionally, some states, such as California, Connecticut, Maine, and Vermont, have fact sheets about dental fillings which dentists are supposed to give to their patients. Share what you have already learned, and ask your dentist about the procedure and materials used. 2. If you are having your amalgam fillings removed, read about precautions that can be taken to protect you and your dentist from additional mercury exposures. Familiarize yourself with the information about the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) on this website. You might also want to consider searching for a SMART-certified dentist. No matter what, be sure to utilize our SMART Checklist for Patients and Dentists so that you and your dentist can be sure that you agree on which safety measures will be applied.  3. Bring copies of any documents of interest you have already found with you to your dental visit.
It is one thing to tell your dentist about something you read, but it quite another to have a copy with you. This means doing your own research before your appointment. In addition to learning about SMART and using the SMART Checklist for Patients and Dentists, you should explore potential health risks of amalgam fillings that directly relate to you and your family. For example, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) has dental mercury fact sheets and webpages designed to help you learn more. 4. Understand that dentists cannot, per the American Dental Association, tell you to have your fillings removed for toxicological reasons. The ADA states that “removal of amalgam restorations from the non- allergic patient solely for the alleged purpose of removing toxic substances from the body, when such treatment is performed at the recommendation or suggestion of the dentist, is improper and unethical.” Indeed, some dentists have been disciplined and/or fined for speaking out against dental mercury and encouraging its removal. Keep in mind that your dentist might not want to discuss mercury removal from a toxicological perspective. 5. Find out about regulations to phase down and end the use of mercury due to health and environmental concerns. For example, Norway, Sweden, Japan, and Switzerland have all restricted or banned amalgam. France has recommended that alternative mercury-free dental materials be used for pregnant women, and Germany, Finland, Austria, and Canada have reduced the use of dental mercury amalgam fillings for pregnant women, children, and patients with kidney problems. Additionally, over 100 countries, including the U.S., have agreed on the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)’s “Minamata Convention on Mercury,” which is a global treaty that calls for phasing down the use of mercury, including the mercury in dental amalgam. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently passed a guideline that prevents dentists from releasing amalgam/mercury waste down the drain. Keep up to date on the regulations by visiting this website and the IAOMT website so that you can share this information with your dentist, other health practitioners, family, and friends! COURTESY: The Smart Choice at www.thesmartchoice.com/share-your-concerns-about-dental-mercury-with-your-dentist/  Your dentist is SMART Certified by the IAOMT! Find out more at www.theSMARTchoice.com What is SMART? SMART is the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, which is a set of safety measures to reduce mercury exposures during dental amalgam filling removal. These safety measures were developed as a result of scientific research collected by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). Why does SMART matter? All dental amalgams, also referred to as silver fillings, contain 50% mercury (a neurotoxin) which is constantly released in the form of an invisible vapor. The process of drilling out amalgam fillings releases even higher quantities of mercury vapor and fine particulates that can be inhaled and absorbed through the lungs. This is potentially harmful to patients, dentists, other dental workers, and the fetuses of patients and all dental personnel. Which dentists are SMART certified? Dentists who have obtained SMART certification from the IAOMT have completed coursework related to mercury and the safe removal of amalgam fillings. The educational programming includes learning about the application of the rigorous safety measures, including the utilization of specific equipment. To maintain SMART certification, your dentist enrolls in the program annually to review the safety measures. Where can I learn more about SMART? Visit www.smartchoice.com to learn more. Like us on Facebook and share our message with your friends and family so they also make the SMART choice to protect their health! www.theSMARTchoice.com  (COURTESY: The Smart Choice at www.thesmartchoice.com/pregnancy-children-dental-amalgam-mercury-fillings/) Before we address pregnancy, children, and dental amalgam mercury fillings, it should be noted that the IAOMT does not recommend that anyone have amalgam (silver) fillings placed in their mouths because they contain 50% mercury. Mercury is a neurotoxin, and a 2005 World Health Organization (WHO) report identified harmful effects of mercury exposure, including areas of risk specifically linked to mercury in fetuses and children: “Adverse health effects from mercury exposure can be: tremors, impaired vision and hearing, paralysis, insomnia, emotional instability, developmental deficits during fetal development, and attention deficit and developmental delays during childhood.” It is also important to note that as a safety precaution, the IAOMT also does not recommend amalgam mercury filling removal for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding and that the IAOMT does not recommend that dental personnel who are pregnant or breast-feeding conduct work that disrupts amalgam mercury fillings (including their removal). These recommendations are based on scientific research, as well as regulatory actions in some countries.  Scientific research about pregnancy, children, and dental amalgam mercury fillings. Research has repeatedly shown the potential for adverse health effects in pregnant women, fetuses, and children as a result of dental amalgam mercury fillings. Some of the impacts that have been examined in science include the following:
 Regulations to protect children and women during pregnancy from dental amalgam mercury fillings. Norway banned dental amalgam in 2008, Sweden banned the use of dental amalgam for almost all purposes in 2009, and Denmark, Estonia, Finland, and Italy use it for less than 5% of tooth restorations. Japan and Switzerland have also restricted or almost banned dental amalgam. France has recommended that alternative mercury-free dental materials be used for women during pregnancy, and Austria, Canada, Finland, and Germany have purposely reduced the use of dental amalgam fillings for children, women during pregnancy, and/or in patients with kidney problems. In December of 2016, three EU institutions (the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the European Union) reached a provisional agreement to ban dental amalgam fillings for children under 15 and pregnant and breastfeeding women as of July 1, 2018, and to consider banning dental amalgam completely by 2030. Part of this agreement was inspired by the United Nations Environment Programme’s Minamata Convention on Mercury, which is a global treaty that entered into force in 2017. The United States was the first country to give its support for ratification of the international treaty, which includes initiatives with regards to phasing down the use of dental mercury amalgam. What these measures mean is that some regions of the world are taking action to end the use of dental mercury altogether, while others are at least ending it for children and women during pregnancy as global dental mercury use is slowly phased-down.  Yet, dental amalgam mercury fillings are still being used on children and women during pregnancy.
In spite of this treaty and other international legislation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently“considers dental amalgam fillings safe for adults and children ages 6 and above.” However, details in the FDA’s public statements about dental mercury amalgam on its website have changed over the years, including information about its potentially harmful impact on women during pregnancy (fetuses) and children under the age of six. Importantly, there are no enforced FDA regulations for this susceptible population or any other population. Due in part to concerns about this lack of protection, the IAOMT filed a lawsuit in 2014 against the FDA over its classification of dental mercury amalgam. As part of the case, the IAOMT secured an internal document from the FDA that had proposed restricting dental mercury amalgam use in pregnant and nursing women and children under the age of six, as well as individuals with mercury allergies and pre-existing kidney or neurological disease. Yet, allegedly for administrative reasons, the FDA communication (dated January 2012) was never released to the public. Meanwhile, as substantial support for ending dental mercury for children and women during pregnancy continues to mount, this toxic filling material is still being used routinely in the US. This is completely contradictory, as it disregards scientific data published in hundreds of peer-reviewed journals and protective measures taken by other countries around the world. Safeguarding American children (and fetuses during pregnancy) from dental mercury has been left to their parents—and the dentists brave enough to warn them about something that the FDA seems to be avoiding. COURTESY: The Smart Choice at www.thesmartchoice.com/pregnancy-children-dental-amalgam-mercury-fillings/  Did you know that Dr. Jones is SMART Certified? SMART is the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique, which is a set of safety measures to reduce mercury exposures during dental amalgam filling removal. These safety measures were developed as a result of scientific research collected by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). Read on to learn more about this extensive training and process. The IAOMT safe amalgam removal protocol recommendations were most recently updated on July 19, 2019. Also, on July 1, 2016, the IAOMT protocol recommendations were officially renamed as the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), and a training course for IAOMT dentists to become certified in SMART was initiated. All dental amalgam restorations contain approximately 50% mercury, (1) and reports and research are consistent that these fillings emit mercury vapors. (2-16) Scientific research demonstrates that dental mercury amalgam exposes dental professionals, dental staff, dental patients, and/or fetuses to releases of mercury vapor, mercury-containing particulate, and/or other forms of mercury contamination. (4-48) Furthermore, mercury vapor is known to be released from dental mercury amalgam fillings at higher rates during brushing, cleaning, clenching of teeth, chewing, etc., (5, 14, 15, 24, 30, 49-54) and mercury is also known to be released during the placement, replacement, and removal of dental mercury amalgam fillings. (2, 25, 28, 29, 32, 36, 41, 45, 46, 55-60) Utilizing the available scientific evidence, the IAOMT has developed extensive safety recommendations for removal of existing dental mercury amalgam fillings, including detailed protective measures that are to be utilized for the procedure. The IAOMT’s recommendations build upon traditional safe amalgam removal techniques such as the use of masks, water irrigation, and high volume suction by supplementing these conventional strategies with a number of additional protective measures, the need for which have only recently been identified in scientific research.

 Dr. Don Jones is your friend, neighbor, and partner in oral health. He has been putting beautiful, healthy smiles on faces in Georgia since he graduated from dental school in 1976. He opened his office in Social Circle in 2004, and moved to his new location at Brookstone Place in early 2014. From the day he graduated, Dr. Jones has made it his mission to give every patient the best care possible. Throughout his career, this passion for helping people has never faded; it has only been refined by the wisdom that comes with experience. He practices biologic dentistry, for your health and well-being. Dr. Jones attended Emory University, in Atlanta, GA for undergraduate studies. He then went on to earn his dental degree from Medical College of Georgia's School of Dentistry in Augusta, GA in 1976. He has never stopped expanding his knowledge, and dedicates many hours every year to continuing education, keeping up-to-date on the latest technology and acquiring new skills. In 2002, when he experienced some personal health issues, it was suggested by his physician that they may have been mercury related. At this point, Dr. Jones made a personal choice to stop exposing his staff, his patients, and himself to mercury; since amalgam fillings contain mercury and have been proven to lead to fractures in teeth over time, Dr. Jones and Social Circle Dental stopped using all dental materials containing mercury in 2002.  Dr. Jones received mercury safe training from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. Few dentists have the skills to remove amalgam fillings without exposing the patient to harmful levels of mercury vapor while drilling. He maintains membership in several respected dental organizations, including the Academy of General Dentistry, International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists, and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
When he isn't busy creating fantastic smiles, Dr. Jones enjoys working with computers, photography, ham radio, fishing, hunting, and participating in the church choir. He is married to a beautiful wife, is the proud father of five wonderful children, and is a respected pillar of the community in Social Circle, GA. He earned his Eagle Scout award when active in Scouting, and is an Assistant Scout Master for a local Boy Scout Troop. All three of his sons have also attained the rank of Eagle Scout.

MERCURY FREE DENTISTRY Conventional “silver” amalgam fillings are comprised of about 50 percent mercury. We do not place amalgam fillings and we keep none of it on premises. Instead, we provide body-safe alternative materials that are strong and durable, and look natural. 2. MERCURY SAFE DENTISTRY Our patients may request that old amalgam fillings be replaced, or those teeth may require additional dental work. We adhere to the strict protocols established by the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology) for safe removal and disposal of mercury fillings. And the number one way Social Circle Dental can enhance your life is... 1. BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY Biological dentistry takes a holistic approach to the next level. We not only operate a mercury free practice with mercury safe removal techniques. We treat each patient as an entire person, not a mouth, or a single dental problem. That requires an understanding that everything we do to your mouth impacts other areas of your body. We utilize only biocompatible materials, and provide advice on nutrition and detoxification to improve overall wellness. Become a Social Circle Dental patient to start taking advantage of the benefits of an enhanced life through biological dentistry. We thank you for allowing us to take care of your dental needs and look forward to serving you. If you have a gap from a congenitally missing tooth, or have lost one due to trauma or extraction, you may be considering a dental implant. This method of tooth replacement has been in use in this country since the early 1980s. It is gaining popularity because the implant restoration looks natural, feels normal in the mouth, and functions like a real tooth – plus, it can last a lifetime with good care. Many patients are concerned, though, about how dental insurance will respond to a tooth implant procedure. Social Circle dentist, Dr. Don D. Jones, shares these important points.

Many patients are concerned, though, about how dental insurance will respond to a tooth implant procedure. Social Circle dentist, Dr. Don D. Jones, shares these important points. The insurance landscape is changing Every insurance plan is different, and coverages and conditions can change at any time, with appropriate notice to participants. However, at this time, dental insurance plans generally apply the following logic to dental implants. First, because other options for tooth replacement are available, getting a dental implant is considered “elective.” Second, elective procedures are not covered if a less costly alternative is available. So, dental insurance typically pays a limited amount – roughly the “usual and customary fee” for a partial denture or bridge – toward the cost of a dental implant. There may also be some coverage for diagnostic tests and tooth extraction, and medical insurance could cover bone grafts if necessary. As dental implants become more common, some premium insurance plans are covering the cost of the procedure. If you participate in an FSA (flexible spending account), where you set aside pre-tax dollars for medical expenses, you are in luck. Because a dental implant is not considered purely cosmetic in nature, the procedure is an eligible expense (the oral surgery, placement of the post, and the crown restoration). Not your only option It is important to know that a dental implant is not your only choice to restore your smile and oral function. Dr. Jones will be happy to talk with you about the possibility of a dental bridge or a partial denture. Regardless of insurance status, these alternatives make sense for many patients.  Here to help
Dr. Jones and his team at Social Circle Dental want you to have the dental care you need and the attractive smile you deserve.
