The proposal, approved by top
FDA officials in late 2011 and kept secret since, would have told dentists they
should not use mercury fillings in cavities in pregnant women, nursing moms,
children under 6 and people with mercury allergies, kidney diseases or
neurological problems. It also urged dentists to avoid using fillings that
contain mercury compounds in any patient, where possible.
Lobbying against
any changes is the American Dental Association which has a political
action committee that donated almost $2.5 million to Congressional
candidates from 2013 to 2014.

Of course progressives
want even more government involvement in health care since it’s such a “neutral

“Obamacare,” a scheme first concocted and embraced by
conservative Republicans.
Do not get fillings. Do not let dentists scare you into getting fillings or amalgam fillings. Instead, eat a nutrient dense diet with good fats and proteins. Doing so will help you remineralize your teeth. Also, don't get your wisdom teeth pulled. You want to keep as many of your teeth as possible.
