Welcome Informed Consumers!!

I want to educate people interested in learning how dental materials can affect their health. Allergies and sensitivities to dental materials are very real and often misdiagnosed as hormonal or psychological. I know! I suffered for years until I discovered it was coming from my mouth. Anyone that has been cast off by the medical profession and told "you just have to live with it "would benefit from this knowledge. Below is a partial list of symptoms to just one component in a dental filling. Mercury found in Silver fillings.
It is well known that mercury will store 1st in the kidney, 2nd in the liver, 3rd in the neurological tissue, 4th in the GI tract, and then in the rest of the tissues. Symptoms related to mercury are vast; however, even the American Dental Association (ADA) admits to the following symptoms:

1) Tremor observed in fine voluntary muscle movement, such as handwriting, eventually progressing to convulsions.
2) Depression, fatigue, increased irritability, moodiness, nervous excitability - especially when criticized
3) Inability to concentrate, loss of memory
4) Insomnia or drowsiness
5) Nausea and diarrhea
6) Loss of appetite
7) Birth defects in offspring

9) Pneumonitis
10) Swollen glands and tongue
11) Ulceration of oral mucosa
