Dr. Katie To explains that silver dental fillings are about 50% mercury. Chewing, brushing, and hot drinks release mercury vapor that gets absorbed through your lungs and gums, then accumulates in your brain, thyroid, and reproductive organs. Most patients don't know their fillings contain it.
8 years in, I'm still finding mercury toxicity because when people have the silver filling, they don't realize that 50% of that's mercury. There's no sign here when you get the filling and knowing that's what's in the filling. And the mercury vapor released when you chew, when you brush, when you drink something hot, when you grind your teeth, which is what we're doing every single day. And then your body absorbs it through your lung, to your gum, to your gut, and it accumulates into the fat-soluble tissue like brain, thyroid, breast, reproductive organs.
