BPA Free Fillings

In modern dental practices, there is a growing focus on both patient safety and environmental health, leading many dental offices to adopt BPA-free (bisphenol A) materials. BPA is a chemical compound used in many plastics and resins, including some dental materials, such as composite fillings and sealants. However, concerns have arisen about the potential health effects of BPA exposure, particularly its role as an endocrine disruptor, which can interfere with the body’s hormone systems.

At Deerfield Family Dental, where we offer BPA-free fillings and materials, patient care is prioritized by eliminating materials that contain or release BPA, ensuring a safer experience for both patients and dental staff. BPA-free alternatives are used for a variety of treatments, including fillings, dental sealants, and mouth guards. These materials provide the same level of durability, aesthetics, and effectiveness as their BPA-containing counterparts, without the associated health risks.

In addition to focusing on patient health, using BPA-free materials aligns with a broader commitment to environmental sustainability. By reducing the use of harmful chemicals, these dental offices contribute to a healthier ecosystem and minimize the release of toxins into the environment.

Patients at BPA-free dental offices can feel confident that their dental care is not only high quality but also safer and more aligned with modern health and environmental standards. Whether for routine cleanings, cavity fillings, or orthodontic appliances, the choice to use BPA-free materials demonstrates a commitment to long-term health and well-being.
