CONSUMER ALERT ! Silver fillings, otherwise known as amalgam fillings are made of 50% elemental mercury and constantly release toxic mercury vapor of which 80% is absorbed by the lungs and then distributed through out the body. Amalgam fillings are still widely used, although safe, durable and comparative cost alternatives exist.

Evaluation of oral tissue response and blood levels of mercury released from dental amalgam in rats This study reveals that there is a positive correlation between blood mercury levels and oral tissue response in mother rats, however, the negative impact of mercury on oral tissues of offspring rats was due to high mercury levels in their mothers' blood during pregnancy. Further clinical studies are recommended to test our findings in man. -
Review of 25 studies and the effects of removing mercury amalgam silver fillings on health This paper, written by Mats Hanson, examines studies from leading research institutes around the world. His research reveals that there has been a documented trend in positive health changes after removal of amalgam fillings since as far back as 1986 (at least!) -
Apolipoprotein E genotyping as a potential biomarker for mercury neurotoxicity The concept of accumulative micro-mercurial neurotoxicity with specific reference to dental amalgam, has been well documented and prolonged exposure to mercury has been associated with the unique lesions of the AD brain. Therefore, amalgam, as the largest source of mercury vapor in the general population, should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients being investigated for neuro-psychiatric problems and shortterm memory loss. -
The Contribution of Dental Amalgam to Urinary Mercury Excretion in Children In the present study we describe a strong, positive correlation between mercury exposure from dental amalgam fillings and urinary mercury excretion over a 7-year longitudinal course of amalgam treatment in children. These findings are relevant within the context of children’s health risk assessment and suggest directions for future research to determine whether differential sensitivities to mercury between boys and girls do exist. -
The Health Status of Dentists Exposed to Mercury from Silver Amalgam Tooth Restorations The authors employed pharmacy utilization data to evaluate the health status of a representative sample of 600 dentists, matched to control subjects, for gender, age, geographical area, and insurance plan structure. Dentists demonstrated significantly more prescription utilization of specific illness medications than did controls, for the following disease categories: Neuropsychological, Neurological, Respiratory, and Cardiovascular.
