I am reading a book called, "Whole-Body Dentistry," by Dr. Mark Breiner, and it's got me thinking about material incompatabilities with the body. His particular concern is that mercury from amalgam fillings leeches into the body causing all sorts of systemic and acute problems. He argues that the ADA has known about the risks and tried to squash all dissenting dentists, even modifying their ethical standards to specifically prohibit the removal of amalgam fillings if it is suggested by the dentist.
My question to those of you in dental school: what are you being taught, if anything, about the risks associated with mercury and other incompatable materials? Is this Breiner fellow raising valid concerns or is he quack? He does pose some pretty rediculous arguments about the body's energy channels, but that's another thread...
