1. Amalgam / Mercury Dental Filling Toxicity Short review of facts from Holistic Healing. http://www.holisticmed.com/dental/amalgam/

Amalgam / Mercury Dental Filling Toxicity Back to Holistic Healing Home Page An often overlooked, but extremely important source of toxic material is the mercury from silver [mercury] amalgam fillings. Some people who are aware of the situation are confused by the mixture of information available. Unfortunately, statements from dental trade organizations and on a few poorly-researched news reports have muddled the situation. Here are a few facts about mercury amalgam fillings: Causes Damage to Brain in Children In February, 1998, a group of the world's top mercury researchers announced that mercury from amalgam fillings can permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and immune system of children. Amalgam Fillings Linked to Neurological Problems, Gastrointestinal Problems The first large-scale epidemiological study of mercury and adverse reactions was recently completed and showed that of the symptoms looked at, there was a link seen to gastrointestinal problems, sleep disturbances, concentration problems, memory disturbances, lack of initiative, restlessness, bleeding gums and other mouth disorders. Mercury / Alzheimer's Disease Connection Found A study related to mercury and Alzheimer's Disease was recently completed by a team of scientists led by well-respected researcher Dr. Boyd Haley. They exposed rats to levels of mercury vapor diluted to account for size differences between humans and rats. The rats developed tissue damage "indistinguishable" from that of Alzheimer's Disease. Repeating the experiment showed the same results. Dr. Haley is quoted as saying "I'm getting the rest of my fillings taken out right now, and I've asked my wife to have hers replaced too." Also see:

Bibliography of Selected Scientific Research on the Health Effects of Mercury Accumulation from Dental Amalgam A THE ABSORPTION OF MERCURY FROM DENTAL FILLINGS Fritz L. Lorscheider, Ph.D. and Murray S. Vimy, DDS. University of Calgary Medical School, Alberta, Canada. Drs. Lorscheider and Vimy have shown definitively that mercury is continuously released from amalgam fillings, both as vapor and in microscopic particles, once the fillings are placed in the teeth. The mercury emitted from the fillings is transported to every part of the body via the air pathways, the digestive tract and the Mood stream, and accumulates in tissues and organ systems. 1.

XXa) Mercury in Dental Filling Disclosure and Prohibition Act I) Introduction Ever since dentists first started installing amalgams in patients' teeth there has been an issue as to whether mercury is released and causes health (pathophysiologic) problems. Then in 1984 a group of conscientious dentists formed the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). One of their objectives was to scientifically explore the safety of amalgam restorations. Since 1984, members of the IAOMT have inspired many renowned medical scientists at universities around the world to research possible pathophysiologic effects associated with mercury leaking from amalgam restorations. Consequently, there are a growing number of scientific studies that document pathophysiologic effects associated with amalgam mercury.

Amalgam Fillings Summaries of the latest research concerning amalgam fillings Mercury sources and toxicity ROCHESTER, NEW YORK. Mercury is a highly toxic metal associated with damage to the kidneys and central nervous system. Mercury vapour is emitted from volcanoes, coal-burning power stations, and municipal incinerators and returns to the earth through rain contaminated with metallic mercury. Metallic mercury is methylated to methyl mercury in oceans and lakes and enters the food chain via fish and other seafood. Long-lived predator fish such as shark, swordfish, tilefish, king mackerel, and pike and bass in fresh water are the main sources of methyl mercury. Dental amalgams are an important source of mercury vapour and the vaccine preservative thimerosal is a significant source of ethyl mercury. Researchers at the University of Rochester School of Medicine recently published a review of what is currently known about mercury toxicity. Among the highlights: Mercury vapour, methyl mercury and ethyl mercury all target the central nervous system and mercury vapour and ethyl mercury also target the kidneys. Inorganic (metallic) mercury primarily targets the kidneys and stomach. Chelators such as DMSA are effective in removing all forms of mercury from the body, but cannot reverse central nervous system damage.

My name is Lyn Rennick, I am ** years old....ok...I'll admit it...I was 50 years old on 29th May 2002...right that over with, now I can proceed. I live in London with my husband who I have been married to for 30 years. We celebrated our Pearl wedding anniversary in June. Although I had many health problems throughout my life, I was not prepared for what happened to me in December 1996. I went to the dentist, a fairly normal and ordinary thing to do, but that was the start of a living nightmare for me. A nightmare that I was to share with thousands of other people around the world. Something which I knew nothing about at the time. We take our health for granted but we also put our trust in people who are there to help us with problems concerning our bodies. If we feel ill we go to the doctor and have medicines prescribed for us. If we find we can no longer see to read, we visit an optician and obtain glasses or contact lenses and if we have a toothache we go to the dentist and have that tooth filled. We do not question our doctors, opticians or dentists. We put our trust in their hands. What we don't know is, BY LAW, OUR DENTISTS ARE ALLOWED TO POISON US!

International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology Protocol for Mercury/Silver Filling Removal[1] Patient protection: First in every concerned doctor's mind is the protection of the patient from additional exposure to mercury. This is especially true of the mercury toxic patient. The mercury toxic patient may have been exposed to varying amounts of mercury from diet, environment, employment or from mercury/silver dental fillings. All forms are cumulative and can contribute to the body burden. The goal of this preferred procedure is to minimize any additional exposure of the patient, ourselves, or staff to mercury. During chewing the patient is exposed to intraoral levels which are several times the EPA allowable air concentration.[2] During the removal or placement of amalgam the patient can be exposed to amounts which are a thousand times greater than the EPA allowable concentration.[3] Once the drill touches the filling temperature increases immediately vaporizing the mercury component of the alloy. There are 8 steps to greatly reducing everyone's exposure. Step one Keep the fillings cool 1) All removal must be done under cold water spray with copious amounts of water. Once the removal has begun, the mercury vapor will be continuously released from the tooth. 2) Therefore, A high volume evacuator tip should be kept near the tooth (1/2 inch) at all times to evacuate this vapor from the area of the patient. Polishing amalgam can create very dangerous levels of mercury and should be avoided especially for the mercury toxic patient. 3) All patients having amalgam removed or placed should be provided with an alternative air source and instructed to not breathe through their mouth during treatment. A nasal hood such as is used with the nitrous oxide analgesia equipment is excellent. Air is best and oxygen is acceptable although not required. If just air is used it should be clean and free of mercury vapor preferably from outside the dental office. 4) Particles of mercury alloy should be washed and vacuumed away as soon as they are generated. The filling should be sectioned and removed in large pieces to reduce exposure. At present the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) has approved removal both with and without the use of a rubber dam. Some evidence exist to support both views since high levels of mercury and amalgam particles can be found under the dam. All members are agreed that whether or not a rubber dam is used the patient should be instructed to not breathe through their mouth or swallow the particles. Some experts feel that it is better to remove the amalgam first and then apply the dam if needed for restorative procedures. 5) After the fillings have been removed, take off the rubber dam if one was used and lavage the patients mouth for at least 30 seconds with cold water and vacuum. Remove your gloves and replace them with a new pair. If a restorative procedure is next then reapply a new dam and proceed. 6) Immediately change patients protective wear and clean their face. 7) Consider appropriate nutritional support before, during and after removal. 8) Install room air purifiers or ionizers and fans for everyone's well being. Staff protection OSHA [4,5] requires that employees be given written informed consent before the use of any toxic chemicals of which mercury is one. Elemental mercury vapor is one of the most toxic forms of mercury and should not breathed. Women of child bearing age should be exposed to no more than 10% of the OSHA MAC [6]. Women who are pregnant should be exposed to no mercury.[7] If you use mercury or remove mercury in any form the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has recommended that your employees be medically monitored annually. 9) Any mercury exposure requires that the employee wear an approved mercury filter mask. An approved mask is appropriate for wearing during all dental procedures which will expose you or your staff to mercury.[8] The manner in which dentists operate their equipment dramatically affects the amount of mercury released. Never drill on mercury high dry. It is hazardous to you, your staff, and your patient. Levels as high as 4000 mg/M3 have been measured 18" from the drill when used high dry. Levels over 1000 mg/M3 are measurable upon opening an amalgam mixing capsule. One out of 7 California dental offices tested over the OSHA TWA of 50 mg/M3. 100% of the vacuum cleaner exhaust tested over 100 mg/M3. Any office where mercury is used should be tested regularly and staff should be monitored for exposure. Testing services are available and a mercury sensor badge is available for personnel monitoring. They should test inside storage areas and along baseboards where mercury might have dropped. Office spills can go undetected for years and are extremely hazardous.
