- Dentala material
Undrar om detta gäller hela Australien eller bara Queensland? Som synes finns minst två fel: WHO har inte förklarat amalgam säkert och International Dental Federation heter FDI World Dental Federation:

?8. What are silver fillings?
Silver (amalgam) fillings have been widely used for a
long period of time. They are made from a mixture of
silver alloy and mercury. Silver (amalgam) fillings are
long lasting and durable.
Silver fillings- further information and
possible risksi
There is no reliable evidence that people with
amalgam fillings have a greater risk of ill health than
people without amalgam. A very small number of
people may experience local side effects due to an
allergic reaction to dental amalgam. The safe use of
amalgam as a filling material is confirmed by the World
Health Organization (WHO) and the International
Dental Federation.
The National Health & Medical Research Centre
(NHMRC) suggests avoiding any dental treatment
involving silver (amalgam) fillings during pregnancy,
unless delaying the treatment could cause greater
problems. NHMRC also recommend avoiding the
removal or placement of silver (amalgam) fillings
during breastfeeding.
Amalgam is now generally avoided for filling children?s
teeth. Growing children tend to be more sensitive to
the effects of exposure to any chemical substance in
their environment. Several of the new tooth-coloured
materials are suitable for use where cavities are small,
as they often are in children.
High level exposure to mercury (which is present in
silver fillings) may affect the kidneys. Therefore, the
NHMRC, suggest people with kidney disease may be
more concerned than others to minimise exposure to
mercury.?
