Mercury​ ​Mouth:​ ​Are​ ​Amalgam​ ​Fillings  Safe?   

The​ ​FDA​ ​has​ ​deemed​ ​them​ ​harmless,​ ​but​ ​concern​ ​over​ ​the​ ​safety  of​ ​amalgam​ ​dental​ ​fillings​ ​—​ ​those​ ​silver-colored​ ​fillings​ ​that  contain​ ​a​ ​mixture​ ​of​ ​liquid​ ​mercury​ ​and​ ​a​ ​powdered​ ​silver,​ ​tin,​ ​and  copper​ ​alloy​ ​—​ ​persists.​ ​Here's​ ​what​ ​you​ ​should​ ​know.  Few​ ​dental​ ​health​ ​issues​ ​have​ ​gotten​ ​more​ ​attention​ ​recently​ ​than​ ​mercury​ ​dental  fillings,​ ​commonly​ ​called​ ​“silver”​ ​or​ ​amalgam​ ​fillings.  In​ ​a​ ​statement​ ​released​ ​by​ ​the​ ​U.S.​ ​Food​ ​and​ ​Drug​ ​Administration​ ​(FDA)​ ​in​ ​2009,  these​ ​dental​ ​fillings,​ ​which​ ​contain​ ​mercury​ ​along​ ​with​ ​other​ ​metals,​ ​were  pronounced​ ​safe​ ​for​ ​most​ ​adults​ ​and children​ ​over​ ​6​ ​years​ ​of​ ​age.  However,​ ​in​ ​December​ ​2010,​ ​an​ ​FDA​ ​advisory​ ​panel​ ​of​ ​scientists​ ​and​ ​other dental  health experts​ ​met​ ​again​ ​to​ ​review​ ​the​ ​safety​ ​information​ ​of​ ​amalgam​ ​fillings.​ ​The  panel​ ​upheld​ ​the​ ​2009​ ​ruling,​ ​but​ ​it​ ​also​ ​urged​ ​the​ ​FDA​ ​to​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​review​ ​and  evaluate​ ​their​ ​safety,​ ​suggesting​ ​the​ ​issue​ ​still​ ​isn’t​ ​definitively​ ​settled.  Since​ ​then,​ ​a​ ​whole​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​confusion​ ​has​ ​ensued.​ ​Many​ ​people​ ​are​ ​wondering:​ ​Are  my​ ​fillings ​really​ safe?

  The​ ​History​ ​of​ ​Mercury​ ​Dental​ ​Fillings  Mercury​ ​dental​ ​fillings​ ​have​ ​been​ ​the​ ​mainstay​ ​of​ ​cavity​ ​fillings​ ​for​ ​more​ ​than​ ​150  years.​ ​These​ ​dental fillings are​ ​a​ ​mixture​ ​of​ ​roughly​ ​half​ ​liquid​ ​mercury​ ​and​ ​half​ ​a  combination​ ​of​ ​silver,​ ​tin,​ ​and​ ​copper.  The​ ​reason​ ​that​ ​amalgam​ ​fillings​ ​are​ ​ideal​ ​is​ ​that​ ​they​ ​are​ ​soft​ ​and​ ​malleable.  “Mercury​ ​is​ ​the​ ​binding​ ​agent​ ​that​ ​holds​ ​the​ ​other​ ​metals​ ​in​ ​the​ ​amalgam​ ​together,” 

https://sites.google.com/site/dentalcarewindsor/

says​ ​Vincent​ ​C.​ ​Mayher,​ ​DMD,​ ​past​ ​president​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Academy​ ​of​ ​General​ ​Dentistry.  “When​ ​manipulating​ ​the​ ​material​ ​to​ ​place​ ​in​ ​the​ ​tooth,​ ​dentists​ ​can​ ​sculpt​ ​the​ ​filling  so​ ​that​ ​it​ ​fits​ ​properly​ ​and​ ​ensures​ ​that​ ​the​ ​patient’s​ ​bite​ ​is​ ​correct.”  But​ ​Are​ ​Mercury​ ​Fillings​ ​Risky?  Why​ ​are​ ​there​ ​concerns​ ​over​ ​amalgam​ ​fillings?​ ​Because​ ​of​ ​their​ ​mercury​ ​content.  Critics​ ​believe​ ​that mercury​ ​dental​ ​fillings may​ ​cause​ ​neurological​ ​problems​ ​in  fetuses​ ​and​ ​young​ ​children.​ ​“The​ ​concern​ ​centers​ ​on​ ​the​ ​health​ ​effects​ ​of​ ​toxicity​ ​or  allergy​ ​that​ ​may​ ​be​ ​associated​ ​with​ ​mercury​ ​exposure,​ ​particularly​ ​as​ ​a​ ​potential  cause​ ​of​ ​chronic​ ​illnesses,​ ​autoimmune​ ​disorders,​ ​neurodegenerative​ ​diseases,  birth​ ​defects,​ ​oral​ ​lesions,​ ​and​ ​mental​ ​disorders,”​ ​says​ ​Jeffrey​ ​Gross,​ ​DDS,​ ​an  associate​ ​clinical​ ​professor​ ​at​ ​the​ ​Case​ ​Western​ ​Reserve​ ​University​ ​School​ ​of​ ​Dental  Medicine​ ​in​ ​Cleveland.  The​ ​FDA​ ​acknowledges​ ​that​ ​the​ ​fillings​ ​release​ ​low​ ​levels​ ​of​ ​mercury​ ​vapor​ ​that​ ​can  be​ ​inhaled.​ ​But​ ​the​ ​2009​ ​FDA​ ​findings​ ​determined​ ​that​ ​these​ ​levels​ ​were​ ​far​ ​too​ ​low  to​ ​have​ ​any​ ​adverse​ ​health​ ​effects​ ​on​ ​adults​ ​and​ ​children​ ​ages​ ​6​ ​and​ ​above.​ ​They  also​ ​concluded​ ​that​ ​the​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​mercury​ ​in​ ​breast​ ​milk​ ​attributable​ ​to​ ​amalgam  fillings​ ​was​ ​safe​ ​for​ ​infants.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​noteworthy,​ ​however,​ ​that​ ​the​ ​FDA​ ​reclassified  dental​ ​mercury​ ​from​ ​a​ ​class​ ​I​ ​device​ ​to​ ​a​ ​class​ ​II​ ​device​ ​that​ ​requires​ ​special  considerations​ ​and​ ​the​ ​need​ ​to​ ​warn​ ​patients​ ​of​ ​the​ ​potential​ ​risks​ ​involved.  While​ ​there​ ​are​ ​still​ ​public​ ​concerns​ ​about​ ​the​ ​safety​ ​of​ ​amalgam​ ​fillings,​ ​the  position​ ​of​ ​both​ ​the​ ​FDA​ ​and​ ​the​ ​American​ ​Dental​ ​Association​ ​(ADA)​ ​is​ ​this:​ ​They  are​ ​safe.​ ​“There​ ​are​ ​some​ ​who​ ​feel​ ​the​ ​mercury​ ​contained​ ​in​ ​these​ ​fillings​ ​is​ ​toxic  and​ ​could​ ​potentially​ ​jeopardize​ ​a​ ​person’s​ ​physical​ ​health,”​ ​says​ ​Dr.​ ​Mayher.  “Currently​ ​neither​ ​the​ ​FDA​ ​nor​ ​the​ ​ADA​ ​supports​ ​these​ ​claims,​ ​which​ ​are​ ​usually  anecdotal​ ​and​ ​not​ ​based​ ​on​ ​hard​ ​or​ ​proven​ ​science.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​difficult​ ​to​ ​determine​ ​why  some​ ​individuals​ ​feel​ ​that​ ​these​ ​fillings​ ​are​ ​harming​ ​them.​ ​It’s​ ​possible​ ​that​ ​these  claims​ ​first​ ​started​ ​as​ ​a​ ​result​ ​of​ ​situations​ ​of​ ​true​ ​metal​ ​allergies​ ​that,​ ​while​ ​rare,  are​ ​a​ ​valid​ ​cause​ ​for​ ​concern.”  Alternatives​ ​to​ ​Amalgam​ ​Fillings  If​ ​you​ ​still​ ​don’t​ ​feel​ ​safe​ ​about​ ​having​ ​mercury​ ​in​ ​your​ ​mouth,​ ​there​ ​are​ ​dental  fillings​ ​that​ ​can​ ​serve​ ​as​ ​suitable​ ​alternatives​ ​to​ ​amalgam​ ​fillings.​ ​In​ ​fact,​ ​the​ ​newer  type​ ​of​ ​filling​ ​now​ ​represent​ ​about​ ​70​ ​percent​ ​of​ ​the​ ​fillings​ ​used​ ​today.  “The​ ​newer​ ​composite​ ​resin​ ​materials​ ​are​ ​a​ ​viable​ ​option,”​ ​explains​ ​Mayher.​ ​“Many  dentists​ ​only​ ​place​ ​fillings​ ​of​ ​this​ ​type.​ ​In​ ​addition,​ ​because​ ​composites​ ​are 

https://sites.google.com/site/dentalcarewindsor/

tooth-colored,​ ​they​ ​present​ ​a​ ​much​ ​more​ ​aesthetic​ ​alternative​ ​to​ ​the​ ​silver-colored  composites.”  If​ ​you​ ​already​ ​have​ ​amalgam​ ​fillings​ ​and​ ​are​ ​concerned​ ​about​ ​their​ ​potential  adverse​ ​impact​ ​on​ ​your​ ​health,​ ​ask​ ​your​ ​dentist​ ​about​ ​composite​ ​resin​ ​fillings.  Contact​ ​Details Dental​ ​Care​ ​007 Phone​ ​:​ ​+1​ ​226-773-9096 https://sites.google.com/site/dentalcarewindsor/ Google​ ​Folder:​ ​https://goo.gl/JSbQUu Twitter:​ ​https://twitter.com/dentalcare007 Related​ ​Content Dentist​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Dentist​ ​Near​ ​Me​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Emergency​ ​Dentist​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Dental​ ​Office​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Family​ ​Dentistry​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Kids​ ​Dentist​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca The​ ​Dentist​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca My​ ​Kids​ ​Dentist​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Dentist​ ​Meme​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Emergency​ ​Dentist​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Best​ ​Dentist​ ​In​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Dentist​ ​In​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Best​ ​Dentist​ ​In​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Dentist​ ​Reviews​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca After​ ​Hours​ ​Dentist​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Dentist​ ​At​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Dentist​ ​Reviews​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Local​ ​Dentist​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Teeth​ ​Whitening​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Dental​ ​Implants​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Dental​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Pediatric​ ​Dentist​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Implantation​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Cosmetic​ ​Dentistry​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Braces​ ​Windsor​ ​Ontario​ ​ca Recommended​ ​Links
