Mercury Poisoning from Dental Work
As someone who had Mercury poisoning from dental work, this post struck a nerve and I hope it helps to check with Dentists what it is they are using in tooth fillings.
Story at-a-glance
- Half of the dentists in the U.S. still use dental or “silver” amalgam, 50 percent of which is mercury, not silver. Mercury is the most volatile and toxic of the heavy metals, and the vapors released when chewing or brushing pose a clear and present danger to health, especially your brain and kidneys — and it’s a reproductive toxin
- This month, the Minamata Convention on Mercury takes effect, which means countries that have ratified the treaty must take steps to reduce use of mercury amalgam
- I will match every dollar you give to Consumers for Dental Choice during Mercury Awareness Week (up to a total of $100,000). This offer to double your gift goes through midnight August 27, 2017
