The journey for amalgam removals
(See the video below of an amazing sunset)
Does a post about amalgam removal belong on a smallholding blog? I think it does — and I hope you’ll agree.
Hannah and I have been on an ongoing health journey for some time now. What we’ve learned along the way is that there’s rarely one single “magic fix”. Instead, it’s the wider lifestyle picture that seems to matter most — nourishing food, time outdoors, managing stress, and paying attention to how our bodies respond to the world around us.
Exploring amalgam removal feels like another step along that path.
Hannah has five amalgam fillings, and mercury is often discussed as one of several heavy metals that can be disruptive to the body. Across Europe the use of mercury fillings has been phased out or restricted, with the EU now banning their use. In the UK their use has been significantly reduced and is prohibited for children and during pregnancy, although the legislation hasn’t yet gone as far as in the EU.
There are a small number of dentists who focus on what’s often described as holistic or biological dentistry, including the careful removal of amalgam fillings. After some research, we found one in London that felt like a good fit for us.
On the blog, we’ll share parts of this journey as we go — not as advice, but simply as our lived experience.
This particular post captures a moment from the physical journey: returning by train from London after our first visit to Daniel Sutcliffe at The Bespoke Dentist. The sunset that evening felt like a perfect bookend to the day.
It was genuinely one of the best dental experiences we’ve ever had. During this first visit, Hannah had her largest amalgam filling removed, and for the first time we both walked away feeling calm, positive, and — surprisingly — that we’d even enjoyed the experience.
More visits will follow, but for now, here’s that sunset.
A gentle note
This post is shared for general interest and to document our personal experience. It isn’t intended as medical or dental advice, and we’re not suggesting that what we’ve chosen is right for anyone else, and nothing here should be taken as a recommendation or instruction. We’re simply documenting our own experiences as we learn and make choices that feel right for us.
