Haha I can reassure you that there will be no such thing as Amalgams or anything of that sort in or anywhere near my dental practice! My mother is a dentist and I scold her all the time, she too does not use Amalgams anymore. However it is dangerous for the dentist as well as the patient because she constantly has to deal with patients who have a mouth full of fillings, and their vaporized Amalgams when she's operating can potentially harm her. It is certainly a tragedy that all of this is going on. Other countries have went on to ban these fillings, why doesn't the United States, the leader of the world, have the intellect to realize that these are so harmful to one's health, and that it should take every measure to protect its citizens. Sad and Pathetic.
