RE: Are Our Dentists Poisoning Us? Silver fillings and their slow release chemical agent.
It's not the best but it is more of a problem for developing neurons than those that are developed. When you are 5 and under your neurons are rapidly forming connections after that time mostly your neurons are editing their connections. It's the dentists themselves who are getting the highest exposure: http://amalgam.org/education/scientific-evidenceresearch/health-effects-from-dental-personnel-exposure-to-mercury-vapor-from-dental-amalgam/
Guess I should have called the post "are our dentists being poisoned?"... Many neurons are formed before the age of 5 but research is apparently showing that new neurons continue to grow and develop throughout our lives.
Or maybe "Our dentists are being poisoned!" I looked into a gold tooth when I had to get a filling because I didn't want the mercury but it would have been like $500-600 extra, hopefully an inexpensive and better solution can be found. Given the choice between getting a filling and having a slight mercury exposure and death from tooth decay if you don't get a filling though one imagines over the last 150 years amalgams have saved billions of lives.
True, tooth decay in and of itself it quite poisonous. Surely in this day and age we can find a nontoxic filling
That would be nice, in the meantime we can eat lots of cruciferous vegetables to detoxify ourselves.
