Each of us clears toxins from the body differently—and that ability is strongly influenced by genetics. One of the most problematic toxic metals is mercury, found in old amalgam fillings, certain fish, and other environmental sources. While some people clear mercury efficiently, others have a genetic tendency to accumulate it in body tissues. A simple, non-invasive genetic test can identify sensitivity or difficulty in the body’s natural clearance and repair systems, especially enzymes related to detoxification (such as GST, MTHFR, APOE, and others). Results help us understand how your body handles metal exposure and to tailor safer, more personal care. At Dr. Yarden’s clinic, testing is part of a comprehensive biological approach that includes: analysis of a relevant genetic profile for metal and toxin clearance; clinical assessment of dental status and possible exposure factors; and a personalized plan for treatment and support (nutrition, supplements, gentle clearance protocols). This information is especially important before removing amalgam fillings or other treatments that may release mercury, so the process is as safe as possible for your individual capacity. The test makes dentistry more genetically informed—scientific, safer, and more effective for you. You can arrange testing at the clinic as part of a broader biological assessment of oral and whole-body health.
