Hi Bex and Dawn,

Your right that there are toxins in all dental materials, but some are more dangerous than others. Iv'e done quite a bit of research on what is probably the most dangerous as well as what is the most safe. Not only that, but I had to learn the hard way through my own experiences as well.

On this mercury section of the forum ,click to HOW TO RESPOND TO THOUGHS IN DOUBT and scroll down to my 2ND POST from SCARLET. Its very informative about dental materials and I hope it will help.

Also I wanted to tell you that Porcelein is made out of 45%aluminum oxide which causes Alzeimers since it oxidizes in air and saliva. So it does leach out of your teeth. Porcelein is really not porcelein. It is called this because of its white color. They usually use this dental matarial for crowns. This material also wears down the teeth as well.

Yes your right that many white direct and indirect composites have Phenols and flouride in them as well. I've learned that Diamondcrown, lite, link, and bond from Biodent labs are prabably the safest. Also Holistic Gold from Zahn Labs. I still got to do more through research on these though. But so far this is what I know. Please go to my other post for more details.

Good luck, I understand your concern about toxic dental materials!! I don't trust any healthcare professionals anymore either until they have proven to be trustworthy!!!
