the ironic thing about most dentists is that they will stick there head in the sand over the whole amalgam issue but when it comes down to it ,they are the ones that are getting the most exposure out of all of us, the last few dentists that I had seen in the military (military dentists can only use amalgam because it is the cheapest for the government to purchase) looked much older than there age ,they didn't look healthy what so ever and most of the time they seemed very depressed with there jobs ,they should be the ones that are beating the drum the loudest
