That is what the ADA would like you to believe, but it is totally untrue. Most but not all the mercury gets bound, some will and does leak out. That is why the word quack, which stood for quacksilver (German for quicksilver) was originally coined and applied to dentists that used this toxin in their patient's mouths. If silver amalgam is so safe, then why is it rated as extremely toxic by the EPA and has to be handled as toxic waste? Masrhall
