I have not used amalgam (or any Hg compounds) in my practice
for over 20 years.

Why do you not consider this to be 'Hg free'?

The few real Hg dentists who have posted here have been from countries
outside the
US where US dental boards have no power over them.

As you are undoubtedly aware there are many 1000's of dentists who are
Hg free
and believe that amalgam is at least potentially harmful to some
patients, unlike yourself
who switched to composites for mechanical reasons. Many do not widely
discuss their views in public because of the tremendous power invested
in the dental boards, and outdated state laws which actually legally
allow harassament of dentists under such questionable theories as
"claims of professional superiority". Dental and Medical Boards are
largely immune from many types of lawsuits to allow them to effectively
regulate Dentistry and Medicine. This power and trust has instead been
abused and utilized to intimidate many dentists who don't 'toe the ADA
line" at taxpayer expense as well, even though the ADA itself is being
sued for Fraud and dropped by their insurance company.
(They also hypocritically claim they have no legal responsablity for
the use of amalgam
and legally define themselves as a trade organization). People who
read open forums should realize that even this year "Hg free" dentists
have been threatened by dental boards around the country for expressing
their views in public and therefore do not post in this forum, while
you on the other hand can post freely, no matter how much you complain
that your rights are being taken away by anti-amalgamists,.. that is
....as long as you agree with what the ADA says.
