Re: Tissue mercury levels in relation to number of amalgams

Amalgam placement will always be an issue where each side is not likely to
win the other over. I place amalgams and composites. I find both to be
acceptable restorations. For those who have problems with the content of
amalgams, fortunately these days you have options.

But am I going to test all of my patients for mercury toxicity and try to
narrow the controls so that their only exposure to mercury is from the
fillings that I place. That would be ridiculous, and I think that you know
that. We read the studies that are conducted and make our choices from
those results. The abstract originally quoted proves nothing.

What is amazing is that dentists will claim that they "know" amalgam is
safe because none of their patients "ever" had any toxic affects
WITHOUT
any testing, even while admitting that due to diet, environment, lead
etc
patients probably DiD have effects of toxiciy. The change in approach
occurs, WHEN they try to discredit an autopsy study.

So which is it? Are many of patients generally suffering from toxicity
or heavy
metals or not? If so, I would suggest your blank check on amalgam
safety
to be a fraud because I'm sure you never scientifically attempted to
separate the effects of environment from amalgam. If not, then the
above study clearly "proves" amalgam to be harmful!
