Hi Dawn and Rachel, thanks for the responses. This is a really big problem and I wonder why biologic dentists who know about the dangers of mercury vapor don't do more to stop this. It is not enough to have extraction systems to "clear" the vapor, evidentally this does not work enough.

Mercury lands in and on everything and unlike smoke from cigarettes, it's not so easy to put in a fan to "suck the smoke out". Vapor is far different than that. To me they should have a particular zone for amalgams removals only, as cut off from the rest of the office environment as possible, and the rest of their office environment should be seperate - reception, cleanings and other dental work. It just amazes me that they don't do this, but leave everything open so that the vapor from their removals contaminates the entire office environment. If I can get symptoms just from sitting in the reception area, something is wrong and though I realise I am very sensitive, it does show that the stuff gets everywhere.

Dawn, it is unreal how expensive DMSA is. Isn't it amazing that the products they sell to chelate mercury are this pricy? INcluding amalgam removal? Wouldn't you think that in a way to compensate for the mass poisoning, that they would limit the cost as much as possible in this area? Surely the biologic dentists would do that considering that it was the dental profession that did this to us in the first place!
