Dentists frequently use porcelain or plastic fillings on a small cavity on the 
face or the side of a tooth for cosmetic purposes.

  This is interesting. So why are there mercury free fillings. And why do 
people get better when their mouth has been rid of amalgam? Not an attack, just 
an exploration for my own benefit.

    AMALGAMS, on the other hand, (Fillings to you folks from Rio Linda), 
consist of precisely measured finely divided (ground up) silver powder, and a 
correctly proportioned amount of liquid mercury to allow total molecular(?) 
amalgamation so there is no leakage of mercury and no release of finely ground 
silver sand. These are mixed, pressed, expressed, and then packed into your 
tooth and allowed to cure for 24 hours. So a silver FILLING contains mercury in 
an unobtainable form and is safe.
