Are your silver fillings really silver? They may be harming your health!
“Silver fillings are not silver, but an amalgam of chemicals– 50% of which is mercury, a dangerous neurotoxin! Toxic mercury vapors are released into the mouth and absorbed by the body as people chew and drink liquids.
The FDA states that “Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetus … Pregnant women and persons who may have a health condition that makes them more sensitive to mercury exposure..” (more here) should consider other options to fill cavities.
Martha Grout, MD, explains that “This should have been a no-brainer. We do not need mercury, one of the most lethal metals on earth, in our mouths.”
