Mercury is not only a dangerous environmental contaminant, but a known toxin, second only to plutonium in toxicity to humans. Although claims have been made for over 100 years about the safety of mercury in dental amalgams, the science shows that mercury is not, in fact, “bound up” in amalgam, and mercury vapor can escape from fillings in amounts greater than the thresholds established by the EPA and OSHA.
