amalgam dental fillings

We read and hear about the Dentists’ viewpoint - and that of the Canadian Dental Association - that mercury toxicity affects very few people. It is not toxic enough for its use to be banned in Canada - but has anyone heard from patients so affected? Or even dentists?

FACT: “Silver” or amalgam dental fillings contain from 48-55 percent mercury, 33-35 percent silver, and various amounts of copper, tin, zinc, and other metals. Since mercury is the major component of the material, any representation of the material should include the word “mercury”.
