Sign the Petition: Tell Dentsply to Stop Making Toxic Mercury Fillings

Consumers for Dental Choice has posted a new petition on Change.org for all those interested in urged Dentsply to cease the production of toxic dental amalgam. Dental amalgam contains high concentrations of mercury, a neurotoxin that is widely known to be hazardous to wildlife, ecosystems, and human health. As the 2nd largest producer of dental amalgam, Dentsply has the potential to have a lasting and positive impact on the health of both environment and consumers, simply by phasing out the production of dental amalgam.

Dentsply Urged to Cease Production of Toxic Dental Amalgam

Pennsylvania citizens and representatives from more than a half dozen countries have issued a wake-up call to Dentsply. The company is the world's 2nd largest manufacturer of dental amalgam, a metallic mixture that was originally used to fill cavities and perform other restorative procedures in the 1900s-early 2000s. The material is being phased-out, however, due to high mercury content and potential danger to human health. It is quickly being dropped by dental practices around the world, and it has recently been removed from the curricula at the NYU College of Dentistry. As the 2nd largest manufacturer of toxic dental amalgam, Dentsply has been urged to cease production of this dangerous material.
