@@kleiokaleidoscope9248 sure. I am now in my late 40’s. Long term, I still have the body of a preteen. My doctors cannot figure out why my digestive tract is so badly messed up, as I do not absorb vitamins and nutrients well.

She said that she and most doctors thought that fillings were made from silver; no clue about mercury. I have memory and attention problems since they were put in.

I have one silver filling in a back tooth. I was extremely pissed off that the dentist put a silver filling in my tooth. I went into the appointment thinking I was going to get a white filling when I was in my upper 20's. I had low vitamin d. When I went into the appointment, they set up laughing gas (like that ever works on me). I was gagging so he told me the filling was going to be silver and would last 50 years. I don't want that thing in my tooth for 50 years. He should have told me he couldn't do it and give me a choice between the silver ugly filling and going to see a dentist who offered iv sedation. I would have chosen the other dentist. After that appointment I went to a dentist who offered iv sedation and had other teeth fixed with white filling. It was a lot better. I like the look of the white filling better. It looks more natural. I go to a different dentist who offers iv sedation and asked if they remove sliver fillings and they do. Even though this silver filling is 14 years old now and it still intact, I really want it out.
Silver Fillings were never an option for my son . His dad took him to the dentist and allowed a silver filling to be put in. I was furious! It' s just not attractive along w the mercury content.

Inorganic and organic mercury are different, and the long-term exposure to the inorganic mercury released from amalgam is a significant concern. Also, if you are removing mercury from a patient, please follow the S.M.A.R.T. protocol - vacuuming is not enough.
there is no proof that it is a significant concern. according to studies inorganic mercury is absorbed in the gut by less than .01% plus the fact that the body is able to get rid of small amounts of mercury constantly from the body so theres no need to remove them.

@@KantorDental its pretty common for poorly installed fillings and seafood to work together to cause mercury poisoning in people. either of them on their own usually isn't that bad, although the extreme cases are still of course pretty bad.
Why is dental amalgam controversial for some people? A small amount of mercury is present in the liquid mix to facilitate the chemical reaction from a liquid-like material to a hard filling. Today's "high copper content" formulations "bind up" this mercury in crystals so that it doesn't dissolve out. The chemical form of mercury in amalgam is inorganic mercury which is less readily absorbed and less dangerous than methylmercury (organic) and vapor forms How much mercury is released? 12 dental amalgam fillings will release 1.7 μg of mercury per day. The total mercury loss of these amalgams to the oral environment over a 30-year period would be 18.7 mg. www.dental-revue.ru/Other/2003-11-02/am3.pdf In comparison, a can of tuna contains on average ~20 μg methylmercury (the most dangerous form) per 6 oz. can That means every filling is about the same as eating 2 servings (1 can) of tuna per year What matters the most is how much of the mercury is absorbed into your body. Most of it passes through you into your urine. iaomt.org/understanding-risk-assessment-mercury-dental-amalgam/ I have heard other countries have banned amalgam? Norway is one country who has, but the Norwegian officials stressed that this is not a decision based on using an unsafe health product, but rather that the "overall, long term goal is to eliminate the use and release of mercury to the environment" www.miljodirektoratet.no/old/klif/publikasjoner/2946/ta2946.pdf In the United states,
Ill let the science speak for itself , Yes they absolutley are the main cause of mercury in the body . Read the studies www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3025977/
I have 5 almagrams that are not giving me any problem but my dentist keeps bugging me about removing them. They already removed 3 in the past, the unsafe way and I did not like the process. They want to remove the remaining 5 but will have to put crowns on all of them because the fillings are too big. I want to mention that I already have 2 crowns so that will be a total of 7...it seems so extreme for only a possibility that silver fillings will cause problems in the future. Something is not sitting well with me.
Composites don't last as long as Amalgam fillings. Why can't something less toxic be used instead of mercury during the preparation of Amalgam fillings?
I read that microscopic organisms can turn elemental Mercury to organic Mercury, is it possible that somehow, some of it turns to organic Mercury? Maybe also Mercury vapors when we drink hot beverages?
Elad that sounds possible. The study I’ve read supports that absorption is significantly lower for elemental mercury. The minute amount that is absorbed may be due to gut bacteria or fungi.
@@KantorDental I know for a fact, that almost 100% of all mercury you absorb from that filling HAD to first react with chemicals in your body BEFORE it could absorb. this process is quite slow though, due to mercury's low reactivity.
Cavities are more common in bottle fed babies, and from the high sugar content in baby and toddler foods, and pesticides destroying the nutritional value of all our food. It’s weakening our teeth and health from the beginning.
oh wow, I finally found a dentist that actually understands chemistry, thank you for you're opinion! I really appreciate how you mentioned the BIG differences between methylmercury (organic) and metallic mercury (inorganic) and you even had pictures! its amazing how many people make the assumption that if it has the word "mercury" in it, it must somehow be bad. xD that assumption is actually a logical fallacy (composition fallacy). you also could have mentioned how your saliva constantly covers the amalgam, eliminating almost all vapors.
You didn't listen at all He contradicted His self if it's not a big deal why is He using all that special equipment when taking mercury filling out??? And when He takes that mercury filling out it has to be placed in biohazard bag Your regular filling You can take home there a safe amount of mercury!!!
You do realise that the mercury vapor will just mix into your saliva which will then enter your gums, or be swallowed. It doesn't just get blocked by the saliva.
@@cautioushubbard3074 that's like saying that since I'm picking up dog poop with gloves, therefore it must be super dangerous. no, its not, but its not hygienic, and you should wear gloves, even though you will probably be fine. if you ever took science class, you would know that they almost always make you wear gloves and safety glasses, even when there is nothing particularly dangerous in the room, its simply a good safety habit. the same is true for other professions like dentists. they are required to have slightly overkill safety equipment, otherwise there's a possibility for a lawsuit against them, even if they did nothing wrong. also, there is no mercury in composite fillings, only in amalgam fillings. amalgam fillings are around 50% mercury. *"it has to be placed in biohazard bag!!"* yeah, half the chemicals under your cupboard are technically biohazards. when you get a flu shot, or some other vaccine, you know where they put the needle? in a biohazard box, even though the shot can save your life! being put in a biohazard box does not also mean its an immediate hazard to humans. mercury is a biohazard because when you leave it in the environment for years and years, certain microorganisms found in lakes ponds and rivers, create toxic organomercury compounds such as methylmercury from the liquid mercury. this takes a long time, and almost never happens in your own mouth, especially if you follow the dentists advice, and brush well! like you already should be!
Livyland !!! There are many reasons a dentist might call something temporary. It may be because it’s a baby tooth and the tooth will fall out anyway. It may be on an adult tooth and the cavity was very large so they did a silver filling but it will need a crown in the future. But your dentist would know more.
@Matt H Just use coconut oil. I've been using it my whole life. I have never had tooth decay in my life.. Take one teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth every morning before brushing your teeth.. It is very hard to get used to at first, but with work and effort it easily becomes a routine. You have to shake for a minimum of 10 minutes. After shaking, spit it out, then brush your teeth with toothpaste and a toothbrush ... The process is over. You will never be attacked by tooth decay in your life. You will have white teeth .. I am telling you from experience because I have all the teeth .. 32 .. 28 + 4 wisdom teeth. Coconut oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties. It has a positive effect on the brain .. The point of everything is that coconut oil enters the gums and expels toxins during the day .. I am 19 years old .. I could go to "Miss for the best teeth". Not to curse them. Stay healthy. See you .. Basically, dentists want to make money on people .. I explained еverything to you .. If you are smart enough, nothing can stop you from now on .. Advice: "Never go for teeth whitening". And yes, spread knowledge after your experience, it should be passed on to other people .. I know you will find it interesting to read the comment ..

A small amount of mercury is present in the liquid mix to facilitate the chemical reaction from a liquid-like material to a hard filling. Today's "high copper content" formulations "bind up" this mercury in crystals so that it doesn't dissolve out.
The chemical form of mercury in amalgam is inorganic mercury which is less readily absorbed and less dangerous than methylmercury (organic) and vapor forms
How much mercury is released?
12 dental amalgam fillings will release 1.7 μg of mercury per day. The total mercury loss of these amalgams to the oral environment over a 30-year period would be 18.7 mg. www.dental-revue.ru/Other/2003-11-02/am3.pdf
In comparison, a can of tuna contains on average ~20 μg methylmercury (the most dangerous form) per 6 oz. can
That means every filling is about the same as eating 2 servings (1 can) of tuna per year
What matters the most is how much of the mercury is absorbed into your body. Most of it passes through you into your urine. iaomt.org/understanding-risk-assessment-mercury-dental-amalgam/
I have heard other countries have banned amalgam?
Norway is one country who has, but the Norwegian officials stressed that this is not a decision based on using an unsafe health product, but rather that the "overall, long term goal is to eliminate the use and release of mercury to the environment" www.miljodirektoratet.no/old/klif/publikasjoner/2946/ta2946.pdf
In the United states,
Ill let the science speak for itself , Yes they absolutley are the main cause of mercury in the body . Read the studies www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3025977/
I have 5 almagrams that are not giving me any problem but my dentist keeps bugging me about removing them. They already removed 3 in the past, the unsafe way and I did not like the process. They want to remove the remaining 5 but will have to put crowns on all of them because the fillings are too big. I want to mention that I already have 2 crowns so that will be a total of 7...it seems so extreme for only a possibility that silver fillings will cause problems in the future. Something is not sitting well with me.
@emily I wouldn’t do it. It’s not a terrible idea but it’s also not worth risking a root canal.
@@greykantor945 thank you! I appreciate it 🙏❤️
Hi, can amalgam filling be a danger for people who are diagnosed CLL (Chronic lymphocytic leukemia )??? I’ll be very grateful for an answer.
I have never seen any reports on this.
Composites don't last as long as Amalgam fillings. Why can't something less toxic be used instead of mercury during the preparation of Amalgam fillings?
Blue I’m no chemist but mercury is what enables it to liquify before hardening.
I read that microscopic organisms can turn elemental Mercury to organic Mercury, is it possible that somehow, some of it turns to organic Mercury? Maybe also Mercury vapors when we drink hot beverages?
Elad that sounds possible. The study I’ve read supports that absorption is significantly lower for elemental mercury. The minute amount that is absorbed may be due to gut bacteria or fungi.
@@KantorDental I know for a fact, that almost 100% of all mercury you absorb from that filling HAD to first react with chemicals in your body BEFORE it could absorb.
this process is quite slow though, due to mercury's low reactivity.
i like myy mercury intake from the filling I got when I was a kid. makes me properly crazy for every day
Why do some dentist disagree and say it is sooo bad ?
sho it depends on how you interpret the studies. But a more cynical way to look at it is because they make more money by changing out silver fillings.
@@KantorDental yep, they charge a lot, in fact, they charge you a lot for a lot of different things.
Are you SMART certified?
I can see cavities are affecting peoples life world Wide...Scientists needs to further do something about this
Cavities are more common in bottle fed babies, and from the high sugar content in baby and toddler foods, and pesticides destroying the nutritional value of all our food. It’s weakening our teeth and health from the beginning.
oh wow, I finally found a dentist that actually understands chemistry, thank you for you're opinion! I really appreciate how you mentioned the BIG differences between methylmercury (organic)
and metallic mercury (inorganic) and you even had pictures! its amazing how many people make the assumption that if it has the word "mercury" in it, it must somehow be bad. xD
that assumption is actually a logical fallacy (composition fallacy). you also could have mentioned how your saliva constantly covers the amalgam, eliminating almost all vapors.
Metal Master thanks for the comment. You sound like you know your stuff! and thanks for the feedback :)
@@greykantor3136 sure! and thanks! have a good day. :)
You didn't listen at all He contradicted His self if it's not a big deal why is He using all that special equipment when taking mercury filling out??? And when He takes that mercury filling out it has to be placed in biohazard bag Your regular filling You can take home there a safe amount of mercury!!!
You do realise that the mercury vapor will just mix into your saliva which will then enter your gums, or be swallowed. It doesn't just get blocked by the saliva.
@@cautioushubbard3074 that's like saying that since I'm picking up dog poop with gloves, therefore it must be super dangerous. no, its not, but its not hygienic, and you should wear gloves, even though you will probably be fine. if you ever took science class, you would know that they almost always make you wear gloves and safety glasses, even when there is nothing particularly dangerous in the room, its simply a good safety habit. the same is true for other professions like dentists. they are required to have slightly overkill safety equipment, otherwise there's a possibility for a lawsuit against them, even if they did nothing wrong.
also, there is no mercury in composite fillings, only in amalgam fillings. amalgam fillings are around 50% mercury.
*"it has to be placed in biohazard bag!!"* yeah, half the chemicals under your cupboard are technically biohazards. when you get a flu shot, or some other vaccine, you know where they put the needle? in a biohazard box, even though the shot can save your life! being put in a biohazard box does not also mean its an immediate hazard to humans.
mercury is a biohazard because when you leave it in the environment for years and years, certain microorganisms found in lakes ponds and rivers, create toxic organomercury compounds such as methylmercury from the liquid mercury. this takes a long time, and almost never happens in your own mouth, especially if you follow the dentists advice, and brush well! like you already should be!
Hi my dentist said my silver filling is temporary I’m 10 so what does that mean
Livyland !!! There are many reasons a dentist might call something temporary. It may be because it’s a baby tooth and the tooth will fall out anyway. It may be on an adult tooth and the cavity was very large so they did a silver filling but it will need a crown in the future. But your dentist would know more.
Livyland !!! dont get a filling you can treat cavity without it trust me your going to regret getting one
@Matt H Just use coconut oil. I've been using it my whole life. I have never had tooth decay in my life.. Take one teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth every morning before brushing your teeth.. It is very hard to get used to at first, but with work and effort it easily becomes a routine. You have to shake for a minimum of 10 minutes. After shaking, spit it out, then brush your teeth with toothpaste and a toothbrush ... The process is over. You will never be attacked by tooth decay in your life. You will have white teeth .. I am telling you from experience because I have all the teeth .. 32 .. 28 + 4 wisdom teeth. Coconut oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties. It has a positive effect on the brain .. The point of everything is that coconut oil enters the gums and expels toxins during the day .. I am 19 years old .. I could go to "Miss for the best teeth". Not to curse them. Stay healthy. See you .. Basically, dentists want to make money on people .. I explained еverything to you .. If you are smart enough, nothing can stop you from now on .. Advice: "Never go for teeth whitening". And yes, spread knowledge after your experience, it should be passed on to other people .. I know you will find it interesting to read the comment ..
@ unknown 02. So how do you treat a cavity without a filling? Cat got your tongue?
@@toothrestorer6588 lol
Glad to hear a level headed dentist on this topic
Maybe OLD school fillings were bad but even they lessened the mercury since those days
I have a filling in one molar tooth for seven years. I am 28.
Should I remove it, please guide me.
Ikramul fillings can last a long time. I would only replace it if a dentist recommends it.
This is a silver filling. I think it is killing me.
I have spine tremor and headache.
@@ikramulfaruque4662
Do it by a SMART certified dentist that does the proper procedure. I’m going to get mine done.
Hello not sure if I should be worried but my amalgam silver teeth one of them a small part came off and I have a tiny hole and another one tiny one but the one I’m worried is the small hole like the silver came off :(
And I’m worried and I have to wait for my appointment on next month the 11😩
McLovin as long as it doesn’t hurt, it should be fine to wait until March 11 to get it checked out. But you should definitely get it checked out.
@@KantorDental it hurts sometimes but the pain is not strong it’s like a small tap like the pain is like a 1 but can I still brush my teeth on the area and can I still eat on the area also? And thank u for responding it help me out😁
Hello people i realy did not understand is mercury filling poison or no. Because my english is not good at listening. Please answer me. Because i have 7 tooth selver mercury filling. And if i removed them the air of. Mercury will go to my head. I know smart brotocol but i did not konw where to do it. I am saudi arabian man. They also have less of information. Please help help. Iam very sad man
aa I do not recommend removing them.
@@KantorDental thank you very much sir. For your response. Is it poison..?? as dr. Hal hugns said
@@cominghop yes poison. You should look different chanel .
@@Fatmaxwx then how can i removed them. Without poisining my self. Realy brother i do not know how to thank you. I realy nedd segstion to ranaway from this big problem
Silly putting silver into white teeth it looks terrible
I had one drilled and remove after it cracked
Phoot that is a very common way they are lost.
@@camillekantor6919 nah this was an old filling it cracked at home then went bad
I needed to see this video thankyou
Can I be able to remove my front teeth fillings?
Agwaze yes but I only recommend doing that if there is recurrent decay or a cosmetic problem.
@@KantorDental sir, there is no any decay, I just did it yesterday and I never knew it was harmful to the health so I want to remove it and stay with my gap teeth
@@KantorDental can you please send me your WhatsApp number?
Not true
If you removed it you may swallow it.
@heklik our protocol for amalgam removal is to have double suction, including a rubber device that blocks off the back of your throat.
also if youve had your mercury fillings for decades the mercury in their surface have depleted so much they emit almost no mercury anymore
It's as if you've done no tests, or proper research
*yeah, and have you?*
Thank you sir I 've watching other videos about how dangerous silver fillings are but, this is the best advice ever . Thanks for the information I was starting to get worried . I really like the comment about tuna fish I never thought about that .
