Why you need to say “no” to dental mercuryAuthor: Jessica
08.20.2012
There has been a long debate about the use of mercury in dental fillings. But to us, it’s not much of a debate. You should say “no” to mercury when it comes to your health and the environment. There are more groups than ever trying to stop the use of mercury in dentistry. That’s because there are numerous studies, reports and articles that confirm just how dangerous the metal can be. But only 24 percent of consumers are aware that “silver fillings” contain mercury, according to Mercola.com. So it’s crucial to spread the word.
How it harms your health Amalgam fillings and quicksilver both contain the toxic heavy metal. And that can really hurt your health. Dental mercury has been shown to cause brain damage, neurological problems and kidney issues. It can also cause problems with fetuses in pregnant women, causing brain development problems and other health issues. The mercury usually makes its way into your body through those silver fillings that you so often see in teeth. It then accumulates and sticks with you, being stored in the body and remaining toxic. According to Mercola.com, there are between 313 and 411 tons of mercury used each year for dental fillings. And approximately 50 percent of amalgam fillings are filled with mercury. How it harms the environment Mercury isn’t only harmful to your health; it’s devastating to the environment. According to ToxicTeeth.org, an organization against the use of mercury in dentistry, Amalgam can pollute our water through dental clinic releases, our air through cremation and our land via landfills. And once it’s in the environment, dental mercury becomes even more toxic, converting to methylmercury. Use heavy metal detox to get rid of it Chelation therapy can help you get rid of mercury and other toxic heavy metals. We suggest using Detoxamin or another chelating agent to help rid the body of any metals that have built up in the body. Symptoms you may have heavy metal poisoning include chronic malaise, constant infections, neurological disorders, confusion and dizziness.
