A top dentist who numbers among his patients some of the World's
biggest soccer stars has spoken out about the adverse physiological
effects caused by the electrical behavior of dental amalgams.

Dr Philip Wander, who claims to have treated some of the English
soccer league's best known players (including international superstar
David Beckham) at his surgery in Manchester, England, makes the
following assertions regarding the electrical effects of amalgam
dental fillings:

"Nevertheless, as potentially damaging as mercury in the mouth is the
electricity itself. When testing teeth for electrical effects, I have
seen momentary sparks of up to one volt - enough to light a small
torch or flashlight. It's worth remembering that the currents
generated by amalgams are formed very close to the brain, which
ordinarily operated at far lower potentials (only a few millivolts).
The brain lies only a few millietres from the jaw bone, where the
roots of the teeth are inserted, just on the other side of the thin
cranial bone and the meninges (the three membranes enveloping the
brain and spinal cord). This kind of current can cause mental
dysfunction, which I often find in clinical practice."

Is Dr Wander guilty of attempting to raise unnecessary concerns by
scaremongering?


I wouldn't judge Dr. Wander too harshly for that--it's just
advertising, and I've seen more egregious examples of this here in the
states.
I do wonder about his diagnosing of "mental disfunction" in his
dental practice, though.


But what's your opinion on the mainstream dental profession's
"ridiculously dumb error"?
