You already know that mercury is toxic and that traditional “silver” fillings contain a mercury amalgam than can leak mercury vapors into your body over time. But what can you do about it?

Have them removed!

The problem is, removing mercury fillings can actually be MORE dangerous than keeping them in your mouth… if you’re not careful!
