I have heard both sides on the Silver Amalgam which is half mecury.
Is there anyone that has replace their fillings with the alternative and
have had resulting improvement in health. My dentist believes it is a
lie. When you can put something in someone’s mouth, but the EPA says that
you cannot dump the Silver Amalgam in a land fill.
What alternatives are available?
Thanks

The problem is that when a silver filling is replaced, whether it
falls out or you choose to replace it for health reasons, the dentist
must DRILL out the remainder. Not a pleasant thought. I had a
filling replaced with composite (which my dentist warned me doesn’t
last as long as amalgam). I can’t say I feel any different, though.
Today, composite is slightly more expensive (but one dentist I went to
charged less). The reason, I think, is that the composite is more
difficult to perform a filling with. Remember that the ADA tells its
dentists NOT to replace silver fillings with composite only for health
reasons. This would undermine their position on the subject (same as
always: "It’s SAFE and EFFECTIVE.")

Indeed, you are correct.

In 1993, the U.S. Public Health Service found that there was "no persuasive
reason to believe that avoiding amalgams or having them removed will have a
beneficial effect on health."
Given the high level of cynicism found in this newsgroup, I’m sure there will
be those who think the ADA and the U.S. Public Health Service are in a craven
conspiracy against the noble alternative health warriors. Sorry, the truth is
much more prosaic: The ADA says amalgam is "safe and effective" because the
scientific evidence shows that it is safe and effective.
