Why are amalgams called *Silver Fillings*?? I'm thinking it's due to their silvery color? Janster, don't you think it's about time you go back to babysitting? You
had to have been better at it than this, are you completely retarded, or
just pretending? *YOU CAN'T ANSWER MY
QUESTIONS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ALL YOU DO IS

Jan, could you please explain where the dirty tricks are? I have read this and I cannot understand what you mean! Joel M. Eichen DDS

From Jan's references:
Mercury's extreme cytotoxicity and neurotoxicity is a major factor in the neurological conditions, along with its inhibition of
basic enzymatic cellular processes and effects on essential minerals and nutrients in cells. Mercury is also documented to cause
imbalances in neurotransmitters related to mood disorders. A direct mechanism involving mercury's inhibition of cellular enzymatic
processes by binding with the hydroxyl radical(SH) in amino acids appears to be a major part of the connection to allergic/immune
reactive conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, lupus, eczema and psoriasis, scleroderma, and allergies. Immune reactivity to
mercury has been documented by immune reactivity tests to be a major factor in many of the autoimmune conditions. more

Would you suggest mercury fillings? I think i should have at least been told i have 4 lbs of mercury in my mouth, i guess. i don't have time to research this so i will stay neutral.

I snipped your quote, because mine is better. It is common knowledge that caries are decreasing, thus, the number of
childhood fillings are also decreasing. However, this site states:
"The incidence of neurotoxic, allergic, and immune reactive conditions
such as autism, schizophrenia, ADD, dyslexia, allergies, asthma, eczema,
psoriasis, childhood diabetes, etc. have been increasing rapidly in
recent years."
If dental amalgams are decreasing, then these conditions should also be
decreasing, IF there is a causal relationship.
Assuming that both conditions are true, the conclusion stated in the
quoted paragraph is not supported.

And if dental amalgams are being used on younger children, increasingly, there might be other effects. "Children who appear most likely to develop cavities should perhaps have
their first visit with a dentist before the recommended age of 12 months"

Although tooth decay is relatively common among children, the majority of all cavities are found in only 20 percent of all children, Weiss said. I still maintain my point. Nothing you posted refutes it.

Why are amalgams called *Silver Fillings*?? Let's see - because they contain a high proportion of silver, dummy! All alloys used in amalgam filings contain, on average:
Silver - approx. 70%
Copper - 1 to 13%
Tin - 15 to 25%
Zinc - 0 to 2%
This is then mixed with mercury at an equal ratio (i.e. 1:1) to produce the
plastic consistency required for placement into the tooth. The mercury-rich
phase of the material rises to the surface as the filling is packed into the
tooth, and can thus be removed by aspiration (the suction unit) or by
carving and shaping of the filling.
This produces a finished restoration containing less than 50% mercury, of
which less than 10% can be considered "free" mercury (i.e. able to react
with other substances).

If I read the Pediatrics refs correctly, amalgams are being given to younger children than was so in the past. A greater number of children receiving their first amalgam at a younger age is the difference. It means that even if there are fewer numbers of children with amalgams,
those children have begun to receive them at a younger age than did their
parents.
Though the parents', or rather the mothers' amalgams would be a main factor
also. (Within that "If.... then...." hypothesis). It is a second
generation phenomena.

Nah. In fact, compomers and glass ionomers, relatively recently developed materials are used frequently in primary teeth. Together with the lower caries rate, the number of amalgams done on young children is down drastically. Steve

You are thinking wrong AGAIN. The color is black. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/amalgam.htm

Do some research.
Isn't it strange there is no EPA guidelines for silver???????????
