Mercury Madness, Part 2

 

" If they have more than four amalgam fillings in their

mouth, the average person's saliva is so high in

mercury they cannot legally spit in the toilet. " That

quote, attributed to David Kennedy, D.D.S., would be

funny if it were not so serious. Because, as I wrote

yesterday, the " silver " (amalgam) fillings in your

mouth are almost certainly leaking mercury, one of the

most toxic elements on the planet.

 

It was Dr. Boyd Haley, Ph.D., chairman of the

Department of Chemistry at the University of Kentucky,

who initiated much of the controversy over amalgam

fillings. In this four minute video, Dr. Haley makes

the point that mercury IS released from these

fillings, and he discusses the politics, economics,

and phony science behind " amalgam safety. " (After you

watch the video, add your two cents to the discussion

on Speak Out.)

 

A word of caution: If you have amalgam fillings in

your mouth and decide to get them removed, do NOT do

so unless the dentist is properly trained. Qualified

dentists follow specific procedures to ensure that you

do not inhale or ingest mercury during this process.

Dentists around the nation have been blocked and sanctioned by their

state boards, and the ADA from explaining the risks of mercury

fillings. Several years ago, in an advertisement, I wrote " we do not

use the toxic substance mercury in any of the fillings we place. " The

NJ State Board of Dentistry fined me $500 for false and misleading

advertising. When I provided them with a copy of the NJ Environmental

Protection Agency's treatise on the subject of mercury toxicity, they

backed down.

 

What is the ADA trying to cover up? I can only guess that they have

been endorsing the safety of mercury amalgam for so long, that a

reversal of position would create widespread fear in the public eye,

and reversal of trust with the profession. The inexorable fact remains

that many foreign governments' regulatory agencies have banned the use

of amalgam all together, or in pregnant women and children under the

age of 18.

 

How our practice contains the environmental risks

With that evidence present, I have chosen to be extremely careful, not

just in placing amalgam in patients mouths, but in the removal of old

amalgam fillings I am proud to announce that our new office is now

equipped with special filters that remove mercury waste from our drain

lines, before it can get into the sewer system (and the environment).

We are one of only two offices in NJ that are taking this extra step

to protect the environment, and to put our money where our mouth is.

It costs us substantially extra each month to do this, and therefore

other practices will be slow to jump on this bandwagon, and,

surprisingly, there are no regulations requiring dentists in the US to

trap mercury from waste water. There are, however, over 50,000 such

installations in Europe (many of which were mandated by governments).
