Summary: An individual is supporting the petition to ban mercury fillings, arguing that they are unnecessary and harmful to both patients and dentists. The commenter highlights the health risks of mercury vapor and suggests that modern alternatives like plastics and zirconium are superior.
Please BAN mercury fillings. There is no need for them whatsoever, the plastics we have are much better, including zirconium. I know multiple people very sick from them, they never stop leaching mercury vapor and that collects in organs. Further, calling them silver fillings is quite deceptive. Dentists who make them, further, end up getting sick themselves. i know a pyschiatrist that said that dentists were the sickest patients he has, because of all the exposure they get to the brain from handling the mercury to make the fillings and from getting exposed doing removals as well as placing them.
