Dr. Paul Rubin graduated from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in 1973.
Early on he developed a strong interest in preventive and innovative concepts in
dentistry, becoming president of the Washington Society for Preventive Dentistry
(no longer existing). He was one of this area's pioneers in "mercury-free" dentistry,
abandoning the use of mercury amalgam ("silver") fillings in 1981, and pursuing a study
of the risks to health of this widely used dental filling material. One of the early
members of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), he has
served in various offices and on its Board of Directors for several years, helping to
see it grow into one of the world's leading authoritative bodies in the area of mercury
and other toxins in dentistry. Dr. Rubin was honored as a Fellow of the IAOMT in 1992,
and a Master of the IAOMT in 2007. Dr. Rubin is also a charter member of the International
Association of Mercury Free Dentists
With a special interest in the environmental effects of dental amalgam mercury, Dr. Rubin
has lectured across the country and published research on this subject. His was the first
office in Washington State (and one of the first in the country) to install a mercury
capturing system to prevent waste amalgam-mercury from leaving the dental office waste
stream, over a fifteen ago. As of July of 2003, all King County dental offices are now
required to have such equipment. In 1997, Dr. Rubin was honored as Runner-Up for the
Governor's Award for Pollution Prevention, and won the Puget Sound Waste Information
Network's Award for Environmental Achievement. He was the first, and one of the few dental
offices to receive Envirostars' highest 5-star rating. Dr. Rubin has appeared and testified
before informational hearings by King County Board of Health and the Washington State Senate
Committee on Health and Long Term Care.
Dr. Rubin continues to pursue and implement advances in the evolving field of Biocompatible Dentistry.
"I know Dr. Rubin personally and I consider him to be one of the most highly trained, skilled, knowledgeable and caring dentists I know of. He fully understands the important relationship between oral and overall health, and his treatment protocols take that into consideration.
His experience, skills and concern for his patients’ oral and overall health is exceptional. He is a pioneer in mercury-free, biological dentistry, and his continuing education allows him to stay on the leading edge of holistic dental concepts and protocols.
I highly recommend him to anyone seeking caring and quality mercury-free/biological dentistry. He is also a Charter Member of the IAMFD and a leader in the effort to ban mercury amalgam dental fillings."
