Children and fillings

[Guest guest]

I just had to post this part of one of the earlier links I sent. I

think this is very important, especially for those women who have

children that are experiencing alot of dental cavities. Be very

proactive in asking your dentist what he is putting in your

children's mouth! Request only composite resin fillings. They

started adding copper to the silver/mercury mix some years

ago...with negative consequences that they refuse to acknowledge.

My kids get NO amalgam fillings, and I am adamant about that! Do it

for their long term health.

The component mix in amalgams has also been found to be an important

factor in mercury vapor emissions. The level of mercury and copper

released from high copper amalgam is as much as 50 times that of low

copper amalgams(16). Studies have consistently found modern high

copper non gamma-two amalgams have greater release of mercury vapor

than conventional silver amalgams (17-21). While the non gamma-two

amalgams were developed to be less corrosive and less prone to

marginal fractures than conventional silver amalgams, they have been

found to be unstable in a different mechanism when subjected to

wear/polishing/ chewing/ brushing: they form droplets of mercury on

the surface of the amalgams(3,23,24). This has been found to be a

factor in the much higher release of mercury vapor by the modern non

gamma-two amalgams.

Recent studies have concluded that because of the high mercury

release levels of modern amalgams, mercury levels higher than

Government health guidelines are being transferred to the lungs,

blood, brain, CNS, kidneys, liver, etc. of large numbers of people

with amalgam fillings and widespread neurological, immune system,

and endocrine system effects are occuring(25,26,27,28).
