A Heavy Metal Test is a diagnostic procedure used to detect the presence of toxic metals in the body. These metals, such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium, can accumulate in the body over time due to exposure from various sources, including dental materials, polluted environments, contaminated food, and certain medical treatments. While small amounts of some metals are essential for bodily functions, excessive levels can lead to serious health problems.
In a dental context, this test is especially important because many patients have dental restorations, fillings, or crowns made from metal alloys. Over time, these materials can release trace amounts of metals into the body, potentially causing adverse health effects. A Heavy Metal Test helps identify if there is a dangerous accumulation of these metals.
Benefits of the Test
Metals can interfere with the body’s normal biological processes. Symptoms of metal toxicity may include fatigue, headaches, cognitive difficulties, digestive problems, and even more serious conditions such as neurological damage or organ dysfunction. Early detection of elevated metal levels through a Heavy Metal Test can help prevent long-term health issues.
