![]() ![]() It is important to note that the majority of dentists including the Alberta Dental Association and College do not agree that dental amalgam is associated with any negative health problems. ![]() Nevertheless, our experience has shown the majority of patients who have their amalgam fillings properly replaced with more biocompatible materials demonstrate noticeable improvements in their health. Several elements contribute to disease processes and mercury toxicity is only one contributing factor. It is important to be aware that regardless of the abundance of evidence showing the benefits of removing mercury fillings, the removal of mercury fillings will not necessarily guarantee a change in the health status of everyone. The following represents a partial statistical symptom summary of 1569 patients who participated in six different studies evaluating the health effects of replacing mercury-containing dental fillings with non-mercury containing dental fillings. It is interesting to observe the improvement of a broad range of symptoms once amalgam fillings have been properly removed. But even people who have a seemingly high tolerance to amalgam need to remember there is no safe level of mercury and it is only a matter of time until the accumulation of mercury breaches the body’s ability to maintain health. Individuals with “high thresholds” for toxicity will experience little or no problems from the mercury in their fillings, while others with “low thresholds” exposed to the exact same levels of mercury may have dramatically different reactions with severe symptoms. Symptoms can also vary in severity due to an individual’s genetic ability to resist toxicity. Symptoms can take years to surface, making the correlation between disease and dental mercury extremely difficult. The consequences of chronic mercury exposure are rarely immediate. (See “ Bibliography of Mercury Topics” for references) Mercury from amalgam fillings has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), infertility, neurological disorders, immunological suppression, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and antibiotic resistance among other diseases.
