research shows<\/a>\u00a0that silver dental fillings expose you to the harmful effects<\/p>\n Shortly after the invention of amalgam, numerous harmful effects were widely reported. Mercury poisoning became a top concern and many dentists vowed to stop using the material. However, the majority of dentists throughout the US continued to use amalgam fillings because they were much cheaper, faster, and easier to place than traditional\u00a0 materials.<\/p>\n Flash forward to today and amalgam fillings have been placed in the mouths of\u00a0over 100 million Americans<\/a>. Meanwhile, countries like\u00a0Sweden, Norway, and Denmark<\/a>have banned or restricted the use of amalgam fillings due to its proven toxic and poisonous effects.<\/p>\n If you have a silver filling, every time you chew a small amount of mercury from your filling (about 2-20 micrograms a day<\/a>) is released into your body.<\/p>\n Chewing gum is especially problematic as it releases an even greater amount of mercury into your system. An increase in temperature in your mouth, for instance when you drink hot coffee or tea, will also encourages the release of mercury vapors in your mouth.<\/p>\n The effects of mercury-fillings are scary. These fillings are one of the top contributing causes to mercury poisoning. This can cause a\u00a0wide range of problems<\/a>, including tremors, insomnia, headaches, nerve damage, kidney problems, Parkinson’s\u00a0 and Alzheimer’s\u00a0 disease, respiratory failure.<\/p>\n In one\u00a0recent study by the University of Washington<\/a>, researchers found that the low-level release of mercury toxins into the body from a dental tooth filling can lead to long-term brain damage.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to note that pregnant women and those who plan to get pregnant are especially at risk. This is due to mercury exposure being proven to have a devastating impact on the\u00a0health of unborn fetuses and children<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHow Mercury Fillings Poison Your Body<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
