"So what's in gold fillings, I wonder - besides gold? I don't think there is a gold filling material, at least I have never heard of it, and have never seen it. Are you thinking of what they make crowns and caps out of?
Quite possibly, actually, Marshall; the mercury is likely still affecting my brain. A friend of mine has been trying to get her amalgams removed through The System in Perth, Western Australia, and one of the problems that arose in dealing with establishment dentists in this regard (and there were many) had something to do with gold - but perhaps they were talking about "a gold tooth" - or then, again, maybe they were discussing gold foil fillings but I didn't know what they were called and wasn't paying enough attention at the time.
