You will easily recognise it in your mouth by its colour… it’s gray or black.
And you can sometimes feel the “electric battery” effect by passing your tongue over it.
It’s composed of only ONE gram… but the damage it can cause to your body can be absolutely catastrophic! It might be retained at the moment…
But it risks being released into your body if it breaks or if the seal wears down…
And when that happens… You could be at risk of cancer… and so many more chronic diseases!
All because of an attempt to stop a toothache. Some dental fillings contain mercury.
FDA U.S Food and Drug Administration released an article on these very filings…
“Dental amalgam is a dental filling material used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay. Dental amalgam is a mixture of metals, consisting of liquid (elemental) mercury and a powdered alloy composed of silver, tin, and copper. Approximately half (50%) of dental amalgam is elemental mercury by weight.”
Mercury is just one of MANY heavy metals we are exposed to on a daily basis! These metals bind to and interfere with VITAL enzymes and proteins. They can damage organs, particularly the brain, liver and kidneys, which are crucial for detoxifying the body.

Additionally, they can impair neurological functions. Leading to issues like memory loss, confusion, and fatigue. Over time, these heavy metals can deteriorate your health drastically!

One reason for the wide-range of symptoms is that mercury taken into the body can accumulate in virtually any organ. An estimated 80% of the mercury vapor from dental amalgam fillings is absorbed by the lungs and passed to the rest of the body, particularly the brain, kidney, liver, lung, and gastrointestinal tract.
The half- life of metallic mercury varies depending on the organ where the mercury was deposited and the state of oxidation, and mercury deposited in the brain can have a half- life of up to several decades.
Toxic effects of this mercury exposure vary by individual, and one or a combination of symptoms can be present and can change over time. An array of co-existing factors influence this personalized reaction to dental mercury including the presence of other health conditions, the number of amalgam fillings in the mouth, gender, genetic predisposition, dental plaque, exposure to lead, consumption of milk, alcohol, or fish, and more.
In addition to the fact that individual response to mercury varies, the effects of these exposures are even more insidious because it can take many years for symptoms of mercury poisoning to manifest themselves, and previous exposures, especially if they are relatively low-level and chronic (as is often the case from dental amalgam fillings), might not be associated with the delayed onset of symptoms.
It is not surprising that just as there are a wide-range of mercury poisoning symptoms, there are also a wide-range of health risks related to dental amalgam fillings.
Additionally, they can impair neurological functions. Leading to issues like memory loss, confusion, and fatigue. Over time, these heavy metals can deteriorate your health drastically!
Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, are pervasive toxins found in the environment. Their accumulation in the body can lead to chronic health conditions: https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan
Case Study: Sarah, a 40-year-old woman, experienced unexplained fatigue and brain fog. Testing revealed elevated mercury levels in her blood.
Once we started on an intense process to lower her toxic metal status she experienced a rapid reduction of her symptoms
