List: I found the following comment on Quackqatch: "I was in the dentists office last week getting my kids teeth their bi-annual checkover when this very subject came up. The dentist made a simple observation that I wish to share with you which may help in understanding the issue. 'If mercury toxicity was a problem then dentists and dental nurses would have major health problems. They simply could not do the job they do if the risks were as high as claimed, since they [dentists and nurses] are exposed to the stuff several times a day.'"
Question: Are technicians and dentists exposed to pure mercury, or is what they mix to make the mercury amalgam a stabilized form of mercury the minimizes health risks? Roger
