them and causes health (pathophysiologic) problems. This web page presents

This is a really informative site! I urge you all to take a look. During

my explant recovery, my dentist, Dr. Carris, gladly removed all of my

fillings containing mercury ..... none of which he put in my mouth, as he

refuses to use it! Read through this site & you will know why Dr. Carris

will not use anything containing mercury. He also works with Kindergarten,

up children, as he has 2 young grade-schoolers of his own, and they surely

have no mercury in their mouths!!!
