Think about mercury toxicity before making a choice

by | May 15, 2017 | Mercury Toxicity

Dental amalgams are the primary source of mercury exposure in Americans. A single dental amalgam filling releases as much as 15 micrograms of mercury per day. The average individual has eight amalgam fillings and could absorb up to 120 micrograms of mercury per day. For comparison, eating mercury-tainted seafood or Salmon will expose you to about 2.3 micrograms per day — and that is enough for scientists to call for a worldwide warning!

Hi, my name is Maryam Aslam. I work as a Marketing Manager with Smile Rx Dental in Bowie, Maryland. I previously worked alongside Dr. Aatifa Khan as a Certified Dental Assistant for more than one year. I'm excited to work with her to present unique and interesting topics on this site and our social media pages. I am a foreign trained dentist pursuing a dental education program with the University of Florida in the Restorative Sciences Department. I thoroughly enjoy the experience. I am keen to continue to set myself far reaching goals both personally and professionally – if anything, this challenge will make for an interesting life!
