Mercury Free, Metal Free Office

This seems to be a hot topic to some people so I will stick to what is KNOWN. There is a known dentist in the area that is scaring families into thinking that fetuses get mercury poisoning from their mothers through the mercury fillings in their mouths and other bizarre statements. When we take a look at the objective (as opposed to anecdotal) research that has been conducted, a much different story arises. For example: John W. Albers, M.D., PhD., of the University of Michigan Medical School says there is no association between abnormal neurological signs and amalgam exposure. The Life Science Research Office (non-profit, independent) report can be viewed by clicking here. There are thousands of research projects that have been done by non-profit and independent programs.

Let’s face it, All dentists would love to replace all of the silver/mercury fillings out there. There is a lot of money to be made but not by being dishonest about why they should be replaced. Amalgams have been a good restoration for many years and outlast many of the newer materials today but you have to admit they aren’t the best looking. So cosmetically you want those silver/gray looking fillings replaced with something that looks great? Sure!! But let’s be honest about the reason why. Make sure it is your reason and not the dentists. More information available at www.agd.org.
