Product Description
Product Description
This work clearly explains why amalgam (silver) fillings are hazardous to your health. These fillings continuously release mercury vapour, the more poisonous, naturally occurring, non-radioactive substance on earth. Mercury contributes to over 100 health issues, including heart disease, chronic fatigue, depression, memory loss and autism. Written for the layperson, it's informative, easy to read and understand.

California Law requires Warning Patients about Mercury in Dental Amalgams
8 Jun 2009
"NOTICE TO PATIENTS: Proposition 65 WARNING: Dental Amalgams, used in many dental fillings, causes exposure to mercury, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm."
"Root canal treatment and restorations, including fillings, crowns, and bridges, use chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer."
The above language is from the Notice To Patients pursuant to the requirements of California Proposition 65.
This law requires that certain dental offices give patients a copy of this notice concerning mercury in dental amalgams.
Go to the California Dental Association website, [...], to learn more. The California Dental Association urges dental practitioners to give the above notice to all patients.
Unfortunately, the US Federal Food and Drug Administration still approves all dental restorative materials for use.
This issue will have to be fought on a state by state basis.
I am thankful to be living in California with its more restrictive and higher standards for healthful dentistry practices.
At least for now, in California, the entrenched industry interests and their lobbyists (amalgam manufacturers, American Dental Association, etc.), have not completely succeeded in their continuing fight against having to reduce and/or eliminate the use of poisonous/toxic materials in dentistry.
Despite passage of Proposition 65, this is not a "done deal" because non-mercury usage requires more expense in materials and time and re-training of older/long-time dentistry practitioners.
Hopefully, citizens in other states, with the influential help and support of more enlightened and/or "holisitic" dental practioners, can band together to bring about legislation similar to that in California.
Tom McGuire's book is a good beginning.
HOWEVER, it is up to patients to assert themselves by organizing patient advocacy groups to bring about the changes that will benefit them and their children.

It's about time!
13 Oct 2008
It's about time this information comes to light - it's been covered up way too long. If you ever had any question about the safety of those so-called "silver" fillings in your teeth, read this book. Those "silver" fillings are actually at least 50% mercury - mercury is a known neurotoxin, it's hazardous to your health. Not sure you have them - open your mouth - if you see a gray substance filling your teeth, you have mercury in your mouth. Dentists are required to dispose of any leftover amalgam material via hazardous materials, yet they will tell you once it's placed in the mouth (inches from the brain, eyes, spinal cord), it's perfectly safe. I don't think so! Ever wonder why you can't buy mercurochrome or old-fashioned glass thermometers? They contain mercury! I also highly recommend these books by Hal Huggins for additional informationIt's All in Your Head: The Link Between Mercury Amalgams and IllnessUninformed Consent : The Hidden Dangers in Dental Care and this book by Dr. Russel Blaylock Health and Nutrition Secrets

Well worth the read as a cautionary account for those in need of or who have had dental fillings
10 July 2009
A treatment for cavities could make things worse. "The Poison in Your Teeth: Mercury Amalgam (Silver) Filings... Hazardous to Your Health!" is an exploration of silver fillings and how new medical knowledge reveals that these fillings could prove highly hazardous to one's health. The problem could affect more than one's dental health, spreading mercury through the body. "The Poison in Your Teeth" is well worth the read as a cautionary account for those in need of or who have had dental fillings.
