On December 14-15, there is going to be a hearing held in Washington D.C. to discuss the safety of dental mercury amalgam. Currently, the FDA rule on dental amalgam acknowledges that “The developing neurological systems in fetuses and young children may be more sensitive to the neurotoxic effects of mercury vapor,” but inexplicably still says that it is safe to expose even these vulnerable populations to mercury – a know neurotoxin and reproductive toxin.
I have written in my feelings and you can too!!!!! All you have to do is go here http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#submitComment?R=0900006480b04c4f and write how you feel about mercury in dental fillings, or how you have become ill from them, gotten better from them being replaced, or simply how you feel that an archaic material should have no place in our mouths!
