Philadelphia - Freya Koss said she developed multiple sclerosis, lupus

and other health problems from a silver dental filling containing

mercury. She and several other consumer advocates and health

professionals were at City Hall yesterday to tell their stories of

cavity fillings gone wrong.

The Pennsylvania Coalition for Mercury-Free Dentistry and Consumers for

Dental Choice (CDC) stood in front of large signs warning of the dangers

of silver amalgam fillings - most notable for their high levels of the

neurotoxin mercury.

In December, Philadelphia City Council unanimously passed legislation

backed by Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown that requires dentists to

distribute patient brochures disclosing the dangers of silver amalgam

fillings.

" The textbooks don't tell us this, " said Charlie Brown, spokesman for

the CDC. " It is absurd to think nothing is damaged when a neurotoxin is

placed an inch from someone's brain. "

" I quickly learned of the harrowing effects of mercury when an old

filling was removed and a silver filling replaced it, " said Ms. Koss,

director of the Pennsylvania Coalition for Mercury-Free Dentistry.

" Seven days later, I got sick. "

Don Robbins operates a mercury-free dentist practice out of Exton. He

called himself one of the few dentists committed to informing patients

of the risk of silver amalgam fillings. Holding a jar of dental mercury

filling, Mr. Robbins pointed out the skull and crossbones icon on the

label, warning that the substance is hazardous to children and to handle

the container with gloves and protective gear.

" It's deeply disturbing what's going on in our profession, " Mr. Robbins

said. " Less than 60 percent of dentists in the U.S. belong to the

American Dental Association (ADA). Silver fillings are 50 percent

mercury. If you have two, three or more silver fillings, you are above

the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) limit for mercury intake. "

Earlier in the day, consumers protested statements made by the president

of the Pennsylvania Dental Association. " No dentist places mercury in a

patient's mouth, " he was reported to have said.

The alternatives to these types of fillings are typically white

composite resin fillings, which are more commonly used today but don't

last as long as silver fillings.

WOW! I live in Phila. and I wasn't even aware this was going on!! I strickly

forbid amalgam in my kids mouths.....unfortunatly, I found out about the dangers

of dental fillings (silver) after my son had 6 fiilings placed in his mouth at

2yo....he developed cavaties from Juicy juice while on the WIC program according

to the dentist....anyway, about two weeks after the fillings were in my son was

bouncing off the walls!! He started hyperactive behavior off the scale. Always

felt sick in his stomach too.

Thank goodness those baby teeth are starting fall out now. Informed consent of

the dangers of amalgam fillings...I'm all for it.

Children's fillings also may have fluoride in them. When I found that they put

those in my little son's mouth, I made them replace them for free. I now ask for

adult fillings for him if needed.

How on earth did you manage to get your son's fillings replaced for free? wow, I

was told it would costs thousands$$ to remove my son's fillings and the risks

involved in removing them seemed far greater than leaving the fillings in till

his baby teeth fell out...was I being duped?

Well dentists don't always know what they're talking about either. My ped.

dentist thought Jon's fluoridosis was bottle rot.. he never had a bottle! So

then it was well, he's using you like a pacifier and the milk is already

sweet and then the sugar you eat makes it even sweeter.

Um. No. you don't understand how the breast works. It doesn't drip into the

mouth if he's not actively sucking the milk out and it's not sweeter just

b/c I eat foods w/ sugar in them.

Upon my own research, his teeth matched pictures of people with flouridosis.

has the same thing going on with his top teeth. I know the dentist

will want to crown them but I'm not going to do that either. They're baby

teeth. That's too much expense.

Nita (crew chief) and the crew: 15, Jon 13, 11, 9,

6, Christian (7/16/03 to 8/22/04), 2 and Isaac, 2/3/08

Learn from the mistakes of others. Trust me... you can't live long enough

to make them all yourself.

Yes, you were being duped. THEY say the risk is greater only because they see no

risk in the mercury. Naturally, anything would then be greater than zero. And

yes, at least the baby teeth will fall out.

We've gone to the same practice for years and give them a lot of business with

four kids. They all know how strongly I feel about no fluoride, mercury, etc. It

was not my regular dentist who put the fillings in and naturally it never

occurred to me to ask if fluoride was in them!

He casually mentioned it and I flipped out. I went home, fretted and fumed, then

a filling FELL OUT two days later. When I took him to get it replaced, I said

while we're here, replace the others, thanks. I don't even think I asked for a

refund but I'm sure I moaned about the cost.

When the bill came it was on there, but showing waived by my regular dentist.

I'm sure it's rare for that to be done for free since we're talking around $500+

worth of work--and none of it covered by insurance at that point.
