You have to have something called an amalgam separator.

So you got to separate it before it goes down the drain because it's that toxic for the environment.

Wow.

But it's okay to put it in the mouth.

And when we're drilling it, obviously all the vapors that are going through,

It's okay for the patients to breathe it and doctors to breathe it.

But obviously for us, biological dentists, because we're cognizant and thinking about this kind of stuff and we're trained to think about the materials, we will go and get trained on the proper removal techniques so we are protected, the patient's protected.

And, of course, we're not exposing everyone in the room and everyone in the building to mercury vapor.

Right.

Which is, it's just has, has causes so many health issues contributing to that heavy metal toxicity that, that, you know, it causes all kinds of neurological disorders and heart cardiac disorders and neurodegenerative disorders.

It's amazing.

It's a sad situation there, of course.

And, you know, even though they will, if they're in the fires, you know, they're going to be wearing some kind of masks and so on and so forth.

And for us, when we do the mercury removal, we have a special mask.

We don't use the regular mask.

Wow.

You know, there's a special mask.

It looks like these big, like.

Like the movies, like the gas mask.

Holy crap.
