How to prepare for your amalgam removal appointment

If you’ve decided to have your amalgam fillings removed, you may be wondering how to prepare for your appointment. While your dentist will handle the procedure itself, there are steps you can take to ensure a smooth experience.

Before your amalgam removal appointment in Bristol:

• Schedule a consultation – Discuss your treatment plan with your dentist and ask any questions. You may be advised to take supplements beforehand. 
• Stay hydrated – Good hydration supports overall wellness before and after dental procedures.
• Eat a balanced meal – Eat something light before your appointment can help you feel more comfortable. Do not drink alcohol.
• Plan for rest – Avoid scheduling strenuous activities immediately after your procedure.

What to bring:

• Comfortable clothing – Dress in layers so you can adjust for comfort.
• Lip balm – Helps prevent dryness during the procedure.
• Music or podcasts – Bring headphones if you’d like to listen to something during treatment.
