3 Dentistry scams exposed
Dentistry scams exposed: Mercury fillings and unnecessary dental surgery
Excerpts:
Quote:
Dentists also routinely promote the ludicrous idea that dripping fluorosilicic acid, a toxic waste product sometimes called "fluoride," into public water supplies somehow reduces cavities in children. And thus, like most practitioners of conventional medicine, dentists subscribe to a near-religious belief in several health-related falsehoods.
Quote:
In a groundbreaking report from the British Medical Journal, researchers who poured over thousands of studies detailing the efficacy of medical and dental procedures have concluded that many popular surgical procedures are completely worthless. Among those is one of the most common procedures performed by your dentist: the removal of so-called "impacted" wisdom teeth. According to the BMJ, this procedure may actually do more harm than good.
Quote:
The mercury fillings issue is one of the most outrageous. Dentists don't even call them "mercury" fillings anymore, because the public has finally figured out that mercury is toxic. So they call them "silver" fillings, but they're still made of approximately 40% mercury. Once this mercury is placed in a person's mouth, it begins to break down, off-gassing mercury vapor that's inhaled with every breath. It causes chronic, low-level mercury poisoning that I have no doubt is partly responsible for today's epidemic of Alzheimer's disease, dementia and various neurological disorders.
