21 fillings is not unheard of, but it is disgusting and I think many people don't wish to make a fuss, which is why some of these dentists get away with it and aren't concerned about sueing.

I hope you give it a go, because this is outrageous. I have had 8 fillings myself, and now I see from what you said, that too was too much! but 21???

I'm shocked. They ALWAYS make the false claim that the mercury inside the amalgam is an insignificant amount and does not come out of the filling. No matter what proof given, the ADA will not move from this or they will be sued and ruined if they make such an admission, considering how many millions of people have been poisoned becuase of them.

I know that they used to fill teeth once even when there were no cavities as their idea of preventative measures. I believe it was done to train the new dentists too. Far from preventing, often they filled the teeth so much the structure of the tooth relied on the amalgam. Remove some amalgam and often you'll find barely any tooth structure left.

Over filling teeth can weaken the tooth structure, so one wonders how they got away with filling teeth for the sake of it?
