Summary: The commenter supports the ban on dental amalgam, citing personal health concerns and the toxicity of mercury. They argue that the dental industry has been deceptive and that consumers have a right to mercury-free dentistry.
I urge the FDA to ban amalgam because Amalgam poses an unreasonable risk because Amalgam was placed in my child’s teeth when he/she was 9 years old, a risk I would not have taken had I known about amalgam’s mercury because it is so toxic.
Amalgam was placed in my teeth while I was pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant, a risk I would not have taken had I known about amalgam’s mercury because now I have all the symptoms of its toxicity.
I did not know about the mercury in amalgam because of the dental industry’s deceptive practices.
Had I known that amalgam contained mercury I would have chosen mercury-free fillings.
Everyone has a right to mercury-free dentistry. Please ban mercury fillings in US.
Thank you for your help!
