"...the available data indicate no reduction in the life expectancy of practising dentists, nor any specific or disproportionate rates of disease associated with high mercury exposure. In fact, the available mortality studies are generally optimistic about the health of dentists..."
Dentists live 3 years LONGER than others in the population.
Do you have anything to back up your statement other than what your dentist said?
I would think that if dentists were dropping like flies, even in Misery, er Missouri, that it would probably make the news and rational dentristry students would drop out of school at very high rates. I find nothing of the sort on Google or Google News or scholar.google.com .

My dentist says that the average age of death for dentists in Missouri is
52. He attributes
this to all the mercury they're exposed to in the amalgams they use. If you
read about the
history of mercury in amalgams, it was despised by dental associations in
the 1800's. They
knew then that mercury was bad news wrt health. It still is. People with a
mouthful of
fillings made of amalgams (not composite resin) should get a heavy metal
check through
hair analysis. Dentists and doctors need to remember: First, do no harm.
Mercury amalgams
are banned in several European countries. The average American has eight
amalgam fillings,
btw. Root canals with their amalgam centers are also a cause for concern, as
I've found out.
Amalgams also contain tin which is toxic. I think some even contain aluminum
which is suspected
as a cause of Alzheimer's, as is mercury. Dentists should be using composite
resins which can
be made in the same color as teeth and have no dangerous by-products, as far
as I know.
Having amalgams replaced with composite resins needs to be done very
carefully so that the
patient and dentist are not exposed, or exposed minimally, to the vapors or
particles of amalgam.
Peace & light, D. Mindock
