What You Need To Know About BPA in Fillings and Why You Should Choose BPA-Free Fillings
BPA, or bisphenol A, is an industrial-type chemical that has been used in manufacturing plastics and resins since the mid-20th century. While BPA is more commonly found in polycarbonate plastics from storage crates, water bottles, and more, this chemical can also be found in composite resin, the primary material used to craft modern white fillings.
Dr. Oliva Hart and the team at Virginia Biological Dentistry serving Richmond, Virginia, would like to inform you that any white fillings offered at their office are BPA-free.
BPA introduced to the body can be of particular concern due to its long-term health effects. These effects might negatively impact the brain and prostate gland of children, infants, and even fetuses. BPA has been linked with increased blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.
BPA-Free Fillings
BPA-free fillings are the same as regular composite white fillings. They serve the exact same function, can be shaded and shaped to match your natural teeth, and are every bit the same as fillings that contain BPA. The only difference is that this chemical is absent in the filling’s makeup offered by Dr. Hart.
