The vast majority of people have been cleverly deceived about mercury being in amalgam filings. This is due to the deceptive and deliberate use of the term amalgam filing rather than accurately describing them as metal compound with mercury fillings.

Are Amalgam Fillings Health Hazards?
While many groups and organizations downplay the risk of amalgam filings it is well known this is a major source of mercury contamination. Amalgam filings are constantly wearing down from brushing and chewing which causes the metal composite to release mercury in the form of vapor. Putting in and taking out filings is another source of mercury exposure as well as the amalgam and mercury that has gone down the drain for decades. Here are some of the main concerns why we must avoid mercury exposure from amalgam fillings:
- Cause cancer
- Cause cells to mutate.
- Cause neurological damage
- Cause oxidative damage
- Damage our endocrine glands which disrupt hormone production.
