What would happen if silver amalgam filling comes out and is swallowed?
Posted on February 10th, 2010 by admin
My six year old child had a silver amalgam filling, two years ago, suddenly I noticed it a few days back that the filled material missing. I took the child to a dentist and asked. The dentist told that the filling has come out. I am worried if it is swallowed by my child, what are the consequences. The dentist told me not to worry. But i am worried whether the silver amalgam if swallowed would result in mercury poisoning. What to do now.
Technically, it’s a good thing the amalgam is out of the child’s mouth. Yes, he or she will get some mercury poisoning from the swallowed tooth, but it should pass out of the body within a day or two. Any mercury is bad, but be glad the amalgam is on it’s way out of the body.
You need to find a dentist that does not put amalgam fillings in people. Make sure you insist on bonded ceramic and they use a dental laser to sanitize. Many children’s dentists are now using a water laser to do the drilling because there is no pain from that. The aniline chemicals such as Lidocaine, Carbocaine, Procaine, etc. are all AGGRESSIVELY CARCINOGENIC and are cumulative.
Mercury is NOT tightly bound in amalgam fillings. It is liquid mercury and leaches out of the fillings for decades. Here are two web sites for you to view. This should help you understand the problem with amalgam fillings:

The dentist gave you good information. The mercury in amalgam is very tightly bound to the silver, and the acid in your stomach would not affect it. It will be eliminated after it passes through the digestive tract.
