I keep reading here about the alledged horrible health results of the
mercury in amalgam fillings, yet I've experenced none of those problems
despite having some fillings of this very same kind dating back over
four decades (I know they're not supposed to last that long, but they
have), with the most recent one eight years ago, & the rest somewhere in
between. I have only one porcelein filling in my whole mouth.
I've also have three crowns, which necessitated drilling out very old
fillings.
In the end, I've happily co-existed with mucho amalgam fillings for over
55 years. Is my body just "less sensitive" to mercury whatever than
other people's? I doubt it would be less sensitive to say arsenic
poisoning...I probably have a great immune system, but not that great.
Yet from reading these threads & comments, amalgam dental fillings seem
only one step below slow arsenic poisoning on the "danger" scale.
So, why not me?
P.S. I don't chew gum, but I do drink hot liquids.
