All medical fields have their quacks trying to make quick big bucks.
Science tells us that amalgam (silver-mercury) fillings are not harmful,
yet it is perfectly reasonable for people to question it's use as a permanent fixture in their mouths since both of the major components are toxic to humans.
We know that asbestos inhalation is harmful, but it took a while to realize that the best way to minimize it's potential danger when used as an insulating material in buildings is to leave it alone. Stirring it up during removal is the bigger danger of course.
The FDA is currently re-visiting the dental amalgam issue under pressure from those outside of dentistry, and if by some chance they do discover true health concerns with the material, one thing is for sure: DON'T DRILL IT OUT UNLESS DENTALY NECCESARY!
Just as has been observed with barefoot access issues, letting sleeping dogs lie has been proven to be a very effective technique.
For every tiny trace of micro leakage of mercury compounds out of an existing filling that enters the bloodstream there are literally MILLIONS times more released all at once during it's removal.
People want them out, so quack "holistic" dentists drill them out creating dramaticaly increased blood levels of the toxins while replacing the fillings very often with far inferior tooth restorations.
If they want them out for appearance reasons, that's one thing. Drilling them out for health benefits is pure money making quackery.
Not surprisingly, the dentists promoting themselves as "holistic" are the ones cheating people based on their understandable fears.
I am holistic in my thinking, placing consideration of the patient's whole body before the health of my retirement account.
Doctors like the "holistic podiatrist" are praying on innocent people's desire to do things naturaly, while laughing all along.
