Do fillings contain mercury?

Question

If so, is there an alternative

Answer 1

yes, and there is a whole lot more you don't know about dentistry. they contain 50% mercury as a matter of fact. it is untrue that mercury fillings are superior. white fillings nowadays can last 20 years or more.

The Biologic Dentists have to deal with all the toxins the non-biological dentists put in the patients. the patients lose their health, their ability to work, their house.... It is horrible and I have seen it firsthand now for 5 years.

don't just take my word for it, here is more info for you:

I would watch these 3 videos first:

A SCIENTIFIC RESPONSE to the American Dental Association's Special Report and Statement of Confidence in Dental Amalgam:

The dentist I have referred to has been a dentist 30 years and a biologic dentist over 15 years. One day, he put 15 amalgams in a 12 year old boy. The boy got severe migraines. He couldn't bear to think that it was something he had done. he began to study mercury. Then, he began taking the fillings out and replacing them. The more he removed, the less the headaches. today he is happy and health. It was then he said, "That's it, no more mercury in my office!"

Myself, I nearly died of mercury poisoning. If it were not for my dentist, I would have.

Excerpt from Chapter 3 "Trust Me"

"Let’s take a closer look at the ethics of modern dentistry. As you will see in this article, for the majority of dentists it is all about money and little about the cavities, since cavities have declined dramatically in the last 20 years. This article from Reader’s Digest sets the tone for what comes later in this book. Suffice to say that you will find dentists’ credibility poor when they tell us to trust them, their dental association, or the dental industry. Of course there are good dentists out there, but you will see that the majority cannot agree on the simplest diagnosis, so they surely must be ignored in their statements about the safety of amalgam."

Answer 2

Amalgam fillings do contain Mercury. There are alternatives to amalgam fllings however I believe that they are not as strong as amalgam fillings. A composite could last 5 years whereas an amalgam could last much much longer. I have seen amalgam fillings lasting 20+ years. The mercury content is not significant and it is mixed with other metals. Research has been done on the dangers but none have proven to be accurate.

Answer 3

The amalgam (silver) fillings are an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc. There has been no medical research proven to show the mercury in these types of fillings have shown health problems in those who have them. There are composite fillings that are made of plastic and they're tooth colored. Composite fillings can last just as long as amalgam fillings. It depends on your chemistry in your mouth. I've had a composite for 23 years and amalgams for about just as long.

Answer 4

yes, fillings are made of an alloy containing a VERY SMALL amount of mercury. it is 100% safe, so you shouldn't worry about it.
i'm not sure if there are any efficient alternatives, talk to your dentist about it... he'll probably tell you to go for the fillings, as they are not harmful.

Answer 5

They include mercury and it is anybodies wager what the mercury vapor does to the human frame. If you've the cash get gold fillings. They final decades. I've had mine for thirteen years.

Answer 6

Yes they do.

Answer 7

No.
