Chest pain, uncontrollable coughing, dizziness, and tremors are each side effects of mercury exposure. So why is this material used to fill cavities? The "mercury controversy" has been a very real issue in the dental community for nearly 5 decades. From the traditional standpoint, dental amalgam was (at one time) approved by the ADA and considered safe for use in dental procedures. Today, holistic dental practitioners understand that the long-term consequences of using mercury-rich dental amalgam may include immune system damage, loss of cognitive skills, kidney impairment, central nervous system damage, and a variety of other very serious health issues. In 2012, great progress was made towards a mercury-free future when the New York University College of Dentistry officially banned the use of dental amalgam in their clinics and removed it from students' competency exams.
