Mercury filling ruling by FDA

I have placed strong,white, resin bonded fillings using a rubber dam EXCLUSIVELY for almost two decades. I stopped placing mercury amalgams for several reasons and now according to The Natural News http://www.naturalnews.com/024993.html, the Food and Drug Administration has reluctantly admitted that mercury fillings my be detrimental to pregnant women and young children...When mercury fillings are delivered to a dentist's office, there is a toxic materials handling fee. When a dentist removes mercury fillings from a patient's mouth, the mercury must be gathered up and treated as toxic waste. Up to now, the government believed that the only 'safe place' for mercury was in a human beings mouth!!!!!!!! Makes no sense. Well now the government agrees that for some groups of people, mercury fillings can be dangerous!
In any case. I place strong ,long lasting and beautiful white fillings that are a wonderful material for our teeth. Please see http://www.benjaminsmile.com/gallery-general.html for examples of our beautiful work.
