In this video, Dr. Katie To shares her personal experience as a dental professional who struggled with infertility for years. She reveals that her amalgam (mercury) fillings, common among dentists, contributed to heavy‑metal toxicity, which she later discovered was a key factor behind her reproductive challenges. She emphasizes that women of reproductive age—especially those working in dentistry—are disproportionately affected by mercury exposure, and she calls attention to the hidden health risks of amalgam fillings.

Anyone with amalgam fillings, anyone, especially women at reproductive age. And if you think about it, most of dental professionals are women at reproductive age, like me and my team, like everyone in our practice, like at that age or was at that age. And we were affected the most by it. And by the way, I fought infertility for a long time and I thought that was me. I didn't know that it was a part of the heavy metal toxicity.
