In the UK, at least. I'd've thought that the same would apply to the US, especially given your addiction to cosmetic dentistry - why would anyone want an "ugly" mercurial filing which isn't the same colour as their teeth (FFF white ofc)? Event Horizon Posted at 11:34 am on Nov. 26, 2008 people used to DRINK mercury in small doses. I don't think the tiny, tiny, tiny amount of mercury that may/or may not be in your fillings would really do much damage AT ALL. Besides, who the hell gets amalgam fillings anymore. We get those white composite fillings now. Clara Bell Posted at 8:38 am on Nov. 26, 2008 I have oodles of fillings. Never had a problem. crystal 81308 Posted at 8:34 am on Nov. 26, 2008 omg. thats scary:o paperskyx Posted at 8:31 am on Nov. 26, 2008 A lot of people had fillings, none of them died from it. murphy mcbagel Posted at 8:27 am on Nov. 26, 2008 if your sensitive to it then it could actually give you mental problems... nearlyinsane Posted at 8:19 am on Nov. 26, 2008 That's kind of... unsettling that they would lie to their patients. manda32 Posted at 8:19 am on Nov. 26, 2008 i just had like 3 filling, im not dead yet, dont worry about it Sins and Demons Posted at 8:18 am on Nov. 26, 2008 This is pure just thinking but I am going to guess that mercury used in fillings is an older practice. Also fillings have gone down thanks to dental break throughs and flouride in some dirnkign water ect. So the 85% could easily be made up of older people with fillings. murphy mcbagel Posted at 8:17 am on Nov. 26, 2008 Quote: from peace love sunshine at 8:16 am on Nov. 26, 2008 how old is that book? made in 1980, but REVISED in 2002. so i guess it's still a problem. and that's not true, heart attacks almost kill you and permantly weaken you. lol...simpsons.
