Mercury Dental Filling - Dangerous...
How to Get Sick: Get Your Cavities Filled With Mercury
For more than 150 years, the dental profession has carefully avoided using the term "mercury" when describing the material used to fill tooth cavities for millions of Americans. They call it "silver amalgam," "silver fillings," or "amalgam fillings." The true composition of dental amalgam is, in fact, 45 to 55 percent mercury, with about 30 percent silver and other metals such as copper, tin, and zinc. Mercury is a heavy metal toxin that has been linked to digestive disorders, fatigue, emotional problems, immune system suppression, and neurological problems.
While dentists have been slow to embrace the idea that mercury is dangerous, several recent court cases have put the spotlight on mercury and the health problems it can cause. Talk to your doctor about alternatives to mercury fillings. Composite fillings are entirely safe, and they blend right into your teeth. You'll help your health and you'll avoid all that conspicuous silver.

The Composite Advantage
Not only are composites safer for you than mercury fillings, they also come with another health benefit: They bond directly to the teeth, making them stronger and less likely to decay.
