Mercury, a poison is approved by the ADA for use in fillings so the dentist can not be held liable. However, it is poison and there are alternatives available that are better suited for fillings. They are long lasting and look like your teeth so you don't show a lot of silver when you laugh. Your friend should never allow a dentist to use that cheap poison again in his mouth. They are not allowed by law to dump used mercury fillings into the sewer system. Why - because it is POISON. He should find another dentist and have the filling replaced.

I can't believe it! Use a metal which has a poison in its mix and fill teeth with it? It has been proven and I do not care what your dentist may have to say that mercury found in fillings gradually creeps through the tooth to the gum and this is poisonous to a human being. Many sicknesses can be directly traced back to the Amalgam filling.

Mercury is an extremely dangerous substance.
The U.S government enforces high standards in the prevention of mercury poisoning.
And, according to the U.S. government, mercury is only safe in TWO places . . . in our mouths fillings) and in our bloodstream (vaccines)
Figure that out, if you can.
