Sorry, Albert. I sat in a dentists chair who used the same mercury vapor detector that the minors use in the mines. After chewing gum for 10 minutes my mouth was emitting some of the most toxic to man mercury vapors (10 times the federal limits). I had all 12 of my mercury amalgam fillings removed and feel better and better as time goes on. There is leakage of mercury from the "fillings". That's easy to prove. Vince _____

In the first place, a mercury filling cannot exist unless you had had your body cryogenetically frozen to minus 100- 200 degrees Fahrenheit and you'd be dead! Mercury is a liquid metal !! In the second place, there are silver FILLINGS, silver INLAYS, and silver CAPS. These last two are prepared by making a proper cavity in the tooth, casting a plastic or rubber male image of the cavity, sending it to a foundry to have a metal alloy (800 fine, 900 fine, 925 fine) silver inlay or cap cast which can then be cemented to the tooth. An inlay or a cap is a piece of noble metal and has no mercury in its composition. AMALGAMS, on the other hand, (Fillings to you folks from Rio Linda), consist of precisely measured finely divided (ground up) silver powder, and a correctly proportioned amount of liquid mercury to allow total molecular(?) amalgamation so there is no leakage of mercury and no release of finely ground silver sand.
