Are the mercury dental cartridges safe?

The safety of mercury, which is actually a metal amalgam, including silver, tin, zinc and copper along with about 50% mercury, is often discussed. There are studies that show that the amount of mercury in the body of a person who has people without these fillings is significantly higher than mercury levels in humans. Although it is known that Mercury is a toxic material that can cause serious mental health problems, there was no study that would convincingly show that dental mercury content represents a threat to human health.

The American dental association (ADA) continues to use mercury filling for many patients. Officially, the position of ADA is that these fillings are safe for patients and that the amount of mercury released into the bloodstream is not subsequent. This organization also asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to not include warnings for patients who indicate the potential risk of mercury when they are considering whether to use these fillings or not. Studies

performed in 2000 show that dentalThe mercury fillings can release Mercury into the human body when they breathe and chew. Filling can also deteriorate over time and decompose quickly. Despite these study findings, there have not been any significant cognitive difference between adults with mercury and without them. The results are the same in children who are the greatest risk of mercury poisoning.

The controversy over the fillings of the mercury has led many people to the selection of refills made of resin instead of metal. Recent developments have caused these fillings more powerful and resistant than before, although they still disintegrate more often than the fillings of mercury dental fillings. The resin fillings also have the advantage that they are the same colors as the tooth, which makes them almost invisible. In addition, resin fillings require the dentist to drill a smaller hole in the tooth when filling the cavity.

There are some patients who are sufficiently worried about the mercury that have decided to be ODSran. ADA does not recommend it because it can lead to tooth problems unless the filling is extracted properly. People who are still concerned about mercury content may decide to have any subsequent refills made of resin instead of metal amalgam, which is commonly available in most dental agencies.
