FDA Expected To Rule On Mercury Dental Amalgams

I'm so glad that I don't have mercury fillings in my mouth anymore. Unfortunately, I've got a mouthful of crowns, and precious little left of my natural teeth. I ran across this press release, and thought you'd be happy to know that the FDA is expected to rule on mercury-containing dental amalgams, "Resolution to Study Phase Out of Mercury Tooth Dental Fillings Receives 16% of Vote at Danaher Shareholder Meeting." The press release states, "Some-time in late July, the Food and Drug Administration is expected to rule on the use of mercury amalgam. The Consumers for Dental Choice won a 10-year battle with the FDA to comply with the law and set a date to classify mercury amalgam."
