The Beautiful Truth Professional risk dental amalgam

[Guest guest]

I haven't seen the movie but have been aware of the mercury thing for

years, and have had my amalgams out.

I recall after one long series of dental appts after years without

having any fillings done, idly asking the dentist : " What is in the

fillings? "

He told me, and then after a pause said, " and mercury. "

" Mercury? " I stared at him in disbelief, rooted to the spot.

Since then, a lot of information has got out to the public, though

recently here I still had strife with one local dentist I went to in an

emergency. I think he must certainly have been nervously affected by the

mercury. He was pro- all the dental poisons going.

I went to him because my previous dentist, who I used to travel a long

way to see, had retired. THAT dentist was fully aware of the amalgam

problem, and was by way of being a bio-dentist, though it's a bit

dangerous getting that label even today. HE was fully convinced that

dealing with his mercury contaminated surgery and laundry was what gave

his wife motor neurone disease, which she died of.

Other dentists have just looked uncomfortable as they have spouted the

party line. Poor things. They must know by now what danger they are in.

exposures to metals as risk factors for Parkinson's disease.

*In a population-based case-control study, we investigated the potential

role of occupational exposure to iron, copper, manganese, mercury, zinc,

and lead as risk factors for *Parkinson's disease (PD). ... **These

findings suggest that chronic exposure to these metals is associated

with PD, and that they may act alone or together over time to help

produce the disease.

lung, gastrointestinal tract and jaw bone and progressively accumulates

in maternal and fetal tissues with exposure duration. Neonatal mercury

exposure from this dental material occurs via milk. They stated in their

conclusions that, " our laboratory findings in this investigation are at

variance with the anecdotal opinion of the dental profession, which

claims that amalgam tooth fillings are safe. " There is no ADA

certification for the mixed amalgam as, " safe and effective. " The ADA

has maintained that mixed dental amalgam is a reaction product

manufactured by the individual dentist and therefore cannot be certified

and it is the responsibility of the individual dentist to determine the

efficacy of the materials and their appropriateness for each patient.^38

One reading this paragraph is given the distinct impression that dental

amalgam has the ADA seal of approval as, " safe and effective " and has

been certified. What has been certified is the purity of the mercury and

the composition of the silver alloy... In fact, the FDA in 1987

classified the alloy and the mercury components of mercury amalgam

separately. They refused to classify the set amalgam reaction product.

... Moreover, none of the articles referenced in the ADA bibliography

contain hard research. They merely cited other primary research papers

to support their divergent conclusions. Many of the primary research

scientists referenced in the review articles did not conclude that

amalgam was safe. ... misleading to anyone not familiar with the current

research. ... It is the conclusion of this academy, the International

Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, that the use of the ADA's

brochure alone would misinform dental patients regarding the potential

risks they might undergo from having this material implanted and leave

the dentist at risk of legal liability and guilty of negligent

misrepresentation. ... Scientific documentation has clearly proven

chronic exposure, biological accumulation, and delayed adverse immune

response to mercury from amalgam fillings. The ADA, by promoting the use

of this document and pamphlet W186, is apparently suggesting that

dentists deliberately violate their own code of ethics and withhold

vital information from their patients and the public. Such action cannot

help but intentionally violate the patients right to full informed

consent. ... The changes to the Principals of Ethics and Code of

Professional Conduct restrict the dentists freedom of speech and deprive

the patient of the legal right to informed consent and freedom of

choice. ... We hereby call to task the ADA for failure to adequately

support their position on dental amalgam with hard scientific data. This

failure has resulted in inadequate protection to the public and

inadequately protects the membership of the ADA from personal harm due

to amalgam usage.

.... but a growing number of practices have also eliminated amalgam to

control occupational mercury exposure and limit potential health effects

in their patients. Whatever the reasons, such changes can be made in

dental practices that maintain the highest ethical standards and provide

wonderful service for patients. ... On a more personal note, I decided

to stop using amalgam more than 20 years ago. It was very unpopular to

question amalgam safety back then, and a number of my colleagues were

mystified and occasionally enraged that I would do such a thing. Some

still don’t understand it. ... Yes, there was a price to pay for

following my conscience, but it was well worth the cost.

dentists were: irritability* (54.5%), *cephalalgia* [headache LJF]

(45.4%), *arthralgias* [joint pain LJF] (40.9%), and the ones more

referred by assistants were arthralgias (53.3%), irritability (46.7%)

and cephalalgia (46.7%).

in the dental offices, shouldn't there be a trend showing the toxic reaction and

symptoms from dental professionals who work fulltime in a dental office daily

with these materials degassing and being made/applied regularly?
