DENTAL POISONING
Dental Poisoning I - MERCURY The practice of
fixing a deadly poison in multiple locations within the mouth is, surely, an act of madness. But this is
exactly what most dentists do every day.
The American Dental Association (ADA) makes the protestations of safety which might be expected. Their basic
response is that:
"No evidence of harm has been found."
However, mercury is a known poison. Why put it in your mouth when there are alternatives?
The answers are, I suppose:
- The alternatives cost
more.
- Because the ADA - and
it's British equivalent - would look
pretty stupid if they did a turn-around now, after decades of
saying that mercury fillings are safe.

So look at the evidence, use common sense; and don't put
any more poisons in your mouth. Demand alternative fillings when you next have some - and pay extra for them
if necessary.

Dental Poisoning II - The Sequel: FLUORIDE
Much like the mercury in amalgam fillings, fluoride has been foisted on the general public with little evidence of
safety - or, for that matter, effectiveness.
It is worrying that the British Dental Association - who represent dentists in the UK - receive funding from the
toothpaste industry for promoting fluoride toothpastes (The Times).
In fact, one of the early studies which helped start fluoridation carried out in Newburgh, New York, had flawed
methodology according to some experts.
Furthermore, the reduction in dental fillings seen after ten years in that study, had disappeared when re-examined
after 50 years.
A Deadly Poison Tony Lees, a UK dentist for 40 years says:
"In the scale of toxicity, fluorides fall between arsenic and lead."
'Fluorosis' is the first sign of fluoride poisoning. The external signs of this are mottling of the surface
of the teeth, and it progresses into actual deterioration of the tooth enamel.
For pictures of teeth showing fluorosis, see:

A UK government-commissioned study shows that 48% of children who drink fluoridated water show signs of fluorosis.
(The Times, May 15th 2001)
But though overdosing on fluoride produces unsightly tooth discolouration and deterioration, the real concern is
what it is doing inside the body.
In the skeleton itself, fluorosis damages bones and leads to arthritis. There is no known cure or reversal for
deterioration of the skeleton due to fluorosis; it just has to be avoided in the first place.
Cancer Causing Agent It is widely thought that
fluoride may cause cancer.
The National Toxicology Programme in America was commissioned by the government to carry out a study into the
relationship between fluoride and cancer.
Several toxicologists have said that the findings of the report show that there is a relationship - that
fluoride does appear to make you more likely to develop cancer.
