Dentists are not allowed to remove mercury fillings if you say you think they are dangerous. If you claim it if for cosmetic reasons you may have better luck. The Dentist can lose their license to practice if they admit mercury fillings are harmful. :peace: [/quote] :bsflag: That is not why dentists would lose their license. It has nothing to do with what a patient or parent says. The problem comes from claiming to an insurance company that the filling NEEDS to be replaced. It doesn't. Find another dentist AND PAY him. Do not involve insurance. [/quote] It would be out of pocket anyway. We do not have dental insurance. [/quote]

My son just had to get his first filling. He went back into the room while I waited in the waiting room. He came out with a mercury filling! I didn't know dentists still used that stuff, my filling was white and non-mercury.
I know the FDA "approves" of the use of mercury, but I believe it is dangerous!
I don't know, I just thought it was archaic to use it nowadays. If it is really dangerous, what can I do? Can he get it refilled by another dentist???
