Mercury Poisoning Because Dentists Still Use Mercury

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

As someone who once had Mercury poisoning, this article is of great interest.

 The reason amalgam remained in use for so long is because a system was put in place that forced dentists to hide the truth, and kept the public clueless to the fact that “silver fillings” contain mercury.

 
There’s less silver in amalgam than mercury. The name refers to the color only, while hiding the fact that 50 percent of amalgam is mercury — a known neurotoxin.

 
The US FDA still refuses to take a stand against amalgam. Please take action to help push the FDA to make right on this issue
