Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / September 2006Amalgam Fillings:
Should Amalgam fillings be removed because of their mercury content? Dean, > Should Amalgam fillings be removed because of their mercury content? Dean Mercury is the most toxic substance on the planet other than plutonium.Dentists are afraid of liability so they claim the levels vaporizing from fillings are small.Itwould take all day to list the effects of mercury,so I advise you to look it up. According to WHO,OSHA,the EPA and other agencies,15 micrograms/day is toxic.Each filling contains 500000 microgms when new After 10 yrs, around half is gone according to Dr pleva and others.People with TMJ lose mercury more rapidly as do people who chew gum.High copper non gamma 2 fillings also lose hg sooner. If a filling loses 250000 microgms in ten yrs it loses 25000 in one yr and 68/day(2500 divided by 365).If you have 10,you are exposed to approx.680/day,a staggering level.I reccomend "Tooth Truth" by Frank Jerome DDS > People with TMJ lose mercury more > rapidly as do people who chew gum. It's probably true that chewing is likely to be compromised in people without (a) TMJ (or two). >Mercury is the most toxic substance on the planet other than >plutonium There are substances far more toxic than plutonium. If you want to claim that mercury is the second-most toxic thing then you had better position it behind the most toxic thing, not something else. As I have said elsewhere, the fact that you are ignorant does not make what you say factual.

Try finding scientific data. > Should Amalgam fillings be removed because of their mercury content? > Dean, > Should Amalgam fillings be removed because of their mercury content? Dean, A filling should be replaced when it is breaking down and in need of replacement. When that happens, replace it with whatever material your research makes you most comfortable with. My list of options for replacement would include amalgam, but if yours does not, there are always other choices.

All the best, Proka DP Wrote: > Should Amalgam fillings be removed because of their mercury content > Dean,No.You shouldnt your amalgam fıllıngs be removed just because o mercur content.Because ıts safe ın tooth,ıf there ıs no problem,no damag no sensatıon,you shouldnt..If you want to remove them by your dentıs ,you wıll be ın more danger:eek: because whıle removıng, heat wıl occur mercury free and you wıll inhale mercury..

The fumes from amalgam removal are atrocious. We have installed a small window with a rubber gasket on it, so the patient's head hangs outside the office while we drill out the amalgams with robot controlled arms. We have also installed a U.S. Air Force regulation wind tunnel fan to blow away any excess amalgams. I mean amalgam fumes.

Interesting, I had always thought that wind tunnel on my old campus was for the NASA AREOSPACE enginnering program. I had no idea that we had such a large dental school... > dentologist Wrote: > > No.You shouldnt your amalgam fillings be removed just because of [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Joel ____________________________ Joel, Don't you wish that these patients had mercury fillings instead of amalgams? With mercury fillings, you could just have the patient tilt his head to the side, and the mercury would slosh right out, being liquid and all. Then you'd have a nice clean cavity prep ready for filling with composite! - dentaldoc > Should Amalgam fillings be removed because of their mercury content? >Dean No, that would be very unfair to the environment. > > Should Amalgam fillings be removed because of their mercury content? >Dean > > No, that would be very unfair to the environment. I have heard that comment before,usually from dentists.It's absurd to say that mercury is toxic everywhere except one's mouth.It does leak from fillings .This is why new ones are50% hg and ten yr old ones are about 25% hg. See "Tooth Truth by Frank Jerome DDS and www.bioprobe.com >. See www.bioprobe.com Interesting link..."BIO-PROBE OFFICE CLOSING" That tells me a lot. T > >. See www.bioprobe.com > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > T After twenty-two years of non-stop operation Peggy Ziff is retiring. Sad that you cannot understand that. Your coments actually tell much about you. Along with the fact--you STILL is mercury amalgams. > > Should Amalgam fillings be removed because of their mercury content? >Dean > > No, that would be very unfair to the environment. ROTFLOL.................. You really don't think most dentists here care, do you? Behave, Clinton! :) Jan In the old days it was easy to do mercury fillings because the patient was upright. Today, what with lie-down dentistry, the mercury keeps sloshing down their throats. I never figured out how to get the mercury fillings into the upper teeth ...... without acute fallout.
