Mercury Amalgam Tooth Fillings: FDA Changes Stance
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seems to have changed their stance on dental amalgam fillings. In a legal settlement signed last week, the FDA has changed the information on its Web site about amalgam fillings to say that they “may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetus” and that pregnant women “should not avoid seeking dental care, but should discuss options with their health practitioner.” Till now they were not so harsh on the neurotoxic effects of mercury fillings.
