In this video, we step away from opinions, headlines, and fear-based messaging and look directly at what the highest-quality human research actually shows about mercury fillings. We walk through the difference between detectable exposure and clinically meaningful harm, why randomized controlled trials matter more than theoretical risk, and what decades of outcome data in children and adults really tell us. We also explain why regulators can say amalgam is safe for the general population while still recommending alternatives in certain groups — without those statements being contradictory. This episode breaks down the science behind mercury chemistry, why environmental policy is often mistaken for patient toxicity, and why routine removal of stable amalgams is not supported by evidence. Most importantly, it gives dentists clear, honest language to communicate risk, uncertainty, and patient choice without fear or misinformation. If you want to practice dentistry that is calm, rational, and grounded in evidence — not social media panic — this is a conversation you need to understand. 🔬 Top 5 Research Sources Referenced in This Video: 1.
