Guest guest Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Consumer Groups Attack ADA's Give Kids a Smile Day; Calls It " Give Kids a Toxin Day " National consumer groups are challenging the American Dental Association's promotion of mercury dental fillings for children in the ADA's February 21, 2002 " Give Kids a Smile Day. " Mothers Against Mercury Amalgam and Consumers for Dental Choice have denounced the ADA's " Give Kids a Smile " day as really being " Give Kids a Toxin " day, because the most common filling in children, amalgam, is 50% mercury. " By calling these fillings 'silver,' the ADA is pulling a hidden ball trick on America's parents, " said Charles G. Brown, national counsel. " These fillings are mainly mercury, known to be extremely toxic. If pregnant women shouldn't eat fish, they most assuredly should not get a mercury filling.
