    oh gosh, you know even in the Philippines you rarely see the Amalgam and its banned in many countries for being toxic... But the dear NHS still believes in it.

    "Mercury fillings given to millions of Britons every year can be dangerous, the world's biggest health regulator has warned.
    Simply chewing could release harmful mercury vapour from the fillings which could be breathed into the lungs, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.
    The regulator had previously advised U.S. dentists that the fillings are safe.
    Despite the warning, the British Department of Health issued its own statement yesterday that it continued to believe mercury fillings posed no danger.
    Patients in Britain have about eight million mercury fillings a year, a million of which are in children and young adults.
    Campaigners blame the highly toxic mercury found in amalgam fillings for a range of ailments.
    These include fatigue, depression heart conditions and Alzheimer's disease.
    "

    I thought these were being fazed out?

    As far as I know most dentists have abandoned dental amalgam.

    Moy did you have fillings done?
    Is it silvery in colour?

    I wouldn't worry Moy.
    Most of us have been treated that way all our lives (so far)

    Probably got more chance to win the lottery, so go buy a ticket for tonight.
