I was just having a snack and my tooth cracked. I swallowed some amalgam (very small) and the rest was in my hand (again minute and attached to the remains of the tooth).

I am TERRIFIED that I am going to get ultra poisoned. I called the dentist and he's fitted me in tomorrow morning to fx hte tooth. He says not to worry too much because it's not vapour form and will pass through my system with bread. I've taken some algin.

Please say something that will comfort me! I am so scared right now. This is exactly the kind of scenario I've been trying to avoid by getting my fillngs replaced. luckily it was just a shaloow surface filling. I've had teeth crack like this before, so I am trying to think I won't get mega-poisoned.
