A member asked:
I have had a lot of fillings, should i be worried about the amount of mercury in my body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seafood worries...: Mercury concerns are related to mercury in seafood, which is a different compound than mercury in dental fillings. A person in her early 20's might not have mercury fillings. She can look at her teeth in a mirror. The fillings that are silver colored are the ones containing mercury. The mercury amount in fillings has been shown NOT to cause health problems, in school children through adults.
