What is mercury amalgam?

Mercury amalgam is a material used for amalgam fillings.  Moreover, it is is a liquid mercury and metal alloy mixture used for dental fillings that have typically been caused by tooth decay.  Typical modern mercury amalgam fillings are made of mercury (50%), silver (~22–32% ), tin (~14%), copper (~8%) and other trace metals.

Mercury amalgam fillings were first documented in the year 659 and first appeared in Europe in 1528.  They grew in popularity in the  1800s due to their low cost and durability.

In more recent times however there has been concern over their appearance, pollution to the water systems and also health.

Am I sensitive to mercury amalgam fillings?

If you are concerned regarding your mercury amalgam fillings, then you can take this test to see if you “may” be sensitive.  We must advise that this test has previously been used as part of an FDA study into mercury sensitivities.  It is NOT a diagnosis and does not replace a proper consultation.

This Mercury Sensitivity Self-Test was part of a US FDA approved study to assess how body burden of mercury is determined, toxicity levels, etc.

It serves as an alert to clinicians when patients have scores of “Yes” in 5 or more of the 30 questions. It is recommended that such patients be referred to dentists with special knowledge of safe mercury silver amalgam removal and replacement.
