Is mercury in dental Amalgam safe?
Mercury when combined with silver, tin and copper in dental Amalgam is not harmful to the health. When mercury is combined with other materials in dental amalgam, its chemical nature changes, so it is essentially harmless. The amount released in the mouth under the pressure of chewing and grinding is extremely small and no cause for alarm. In fact, it is less than what patients are exposed to in food, air, and water.
Eactly my point. We are exposed to more in the food air and water.
