The spectre of mercury poisoning from dental fillings has made the leap from alternative medicine/tabloid fodder to official health concern, as the FDA now acknowledges the possible danger to children, unborn babies, and other sensitive populations. I doubt it's worth having fillings replaced (which I'm guessing could release more mercury than leaving them alone), but certainly a good idea to check with your dentist.
I'd much rather get my mercury from eating tuna and swordfish.Haha! I would, too. If anyone thinks he has trouble and wants to get the fillings replaced, I can put you in contact with a friend who had a terrible reaction, got them replaced and after some recovery looks and feels better than most her age. I don't know what to think, but her personal experience was quite convincing. Especially since part of the recovery was a few years on a tropical island. . .
