Healthy Materials in Fixing teeth

There are a few material that are more non-reactive in the body. Many people are allergic to metallic restorative materials such as the dental amalgam. The dental amalgam contains mercury and other metals that may be toxic to the body. People who have amalgams replaced by other materials such as porcelain or composite resin actually report that they feel healthier than before. Dental amalgams are still considered safe in the US although are being used less and less. In some european countries, they are seldom or no longer placed.

    I believe I had heavy metal toxicity from dental amalgams so I had all my silver fillings replaced by white fillings and I do feel better. I had it all done in one visit. It was a lot of work but I just want them out.

    It should be mentioned that amalgams are toxic waste, and the doctor must use caution in removing them. Patients need to be informed.They should all be removed.
