You can read a summary of the results here:
Studies find no harm in mercury dental fillings - Children's Health - MSNBC.com
If you just skim this article, you may believe that researchers have discovered that the amalgam fillings are not harmful.
And that is probably the conclusion that some folks would like you to believe.
But, READ CAREFULLY!!
This recent study is under heavy criticism and for good reason.
Who in their right minds does testing of mercury fillings on children?!!!
In human research this is considered unethical.
The parents of children participating in such a study must receive ALL information regarding the potential harmful side effects... current and FUTURE.
How could the researchers possibly know what harmful side effects may occur in the children's futures when experts can not agree on this?
In 1995 an extensive study was done in Germany of amalgam fillings. The study concluded that there was enough mercury in the saliva to be up to 100 times higher the the allowable recommendation by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Amalgam ban demanded in Germany
We do know that mercury causes the following physical symptoms:
Diagnose-Me: Condition: Mercury Toxicity (Amalgam Illness)
Be careful when you read studies.
Just because an "expert" or even a qualified researcher says so... doesn't necessarily make the results the whole undiluted truth.
The study in question fails to take into consideration the long-term effects of these mercury fillings.
Much, much more needs to be done before subjecting children to such nonsense.
If you are considering having your amalgam fillings removed...
PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!
Research also is showing that mercury levels may actually INCREASE from the removal of fillings.

You will find information regarding filling removal about 2/3's of the way down the page. You will also note that the information on this website conflicts with the information from the German study and the "Diagnose-Me" website.
