Are Mercury Amalgam Fillings Safe, and Will We Ever Know?
By Dr. Andie T. Pearson, DMD CCST

If you have ever wondered about this topic and did a basic "Google" on the subject, you most likely found what I did. Sites too numerous to count, much less read. There are just as many sites supporting the placement of a material in you mouth that is 50% mercury as there are against. It's really hard to sort things out-fact, fiction, myth, greed, corporate power, politics. The amalgam mercury "team" gives one punch and the anti-amalgam mercury "team" hands over one of their own. Lord Baldwin, joint chairman of the British Parliamentary Group for Alternative and Complementary Medicine questions the research around proof of safety. He feels as if the proof just isn't there and that the fact that its been used for over 100 yrs isn't the proof of safety.

Is it necessary to save "Milk teeth"?
We have 20 milk & 32 permanent teeth, 1st Milk tooth comes anytime between 4-6 months, and by 2 to 3 years all 20 milk teeth are present. First permanent tooth comes around 6-7 years, & till 18-25, all permanent teeth come. If Milk teeth are not preserved, then permanent teeth may grow crooked and can damage other teeth. To avoid this we should use Space Maintainer.
