Other Countries Have Banned Amalgams

On February 18, 1994, the Swedish government banned silver "mercury" amalgam as a dental filling material .

The ban was based on research demonstrating that the risks to dental patients' health and the risks to the environment were too great.

In February 1992, the German Federal Department of Health banned the sale and manufacture of one type of amalgam because of the health risks from mercury. A second type was restricted a short time later. In December 1993, the largest manufacturer of dental amalgam in Germany discontinued production of amalgam. In 1994, the German Federal Department of Health advised against using amalgam in all women of childbearing age. Later that year, the German Federal Registry of Dentists requested that amalgam be banned.

Austria, Denmark and Finland plan to stop the use of dental mercury. Why is the United States not among the countries acting on this important health issue?

Yes, by law in some places they do in fact have a sign up warning people about mercury.

Unfortunately in my country, we have no such bans, or even considerations towards it. However, we must also ask something. Why would dentists who have been in the business for 25+ years admit to the dangers of this stuff and switch to biologic dentistry?

Now, are these people liars? Are they morons?

At any rate, as you can see by the top poster, he's behaving as though this stuff isn't a problem (ADA stance). This is in actual fact belittling the victims of amalgam poisoning, of which there are appear to be quite a few and making out that we're disallusioned, confused or suffering from emotional problems, this includes the places banned or banning the stuff, plus the biologic dentists as well.
