> phillipa you obviously didnt read the link.it said the most exposure to mercury in the dentist is the dentist an the assistant.and they do it 40 times a day, so in therory there all died 20 years ago.
The toxic burden of amalgam fillings probably won't cause death in a direct manner, although mercury is debatably carcinogenic. Nobody said amalgam fillings kill you. Also, the fact that dental personnel doesn't die by the dozens doesn't mean there isn't a problem. If it doesn't kill you, it CAN hurt you.For one thing, female dental assistants who work with amalgam are significantly less fertile than controls (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1127897/).
