I worked in the dental field for 15 years. What I know from the dentists I worked with is that it is worse to have your mercury/amalgams fillings removed due to the gases and particles released. If you have to because decay has spread, then it becomes better odds for the risk/benefit ratio.

Only my opinion but I think if you have MS now, you have it. Removing your fillings is probably not going to take it away. I do wish it would though.

Best of luck.

@A MyMSTeam Member I don't have any fillings yet still have MS. Go figure.

There is no root cause for ms, so anything is possible at this time. Lack of vitamin D and or not living close to the equator is possible. Have there been any studies on amalgam, people who were born and have lived close to the equator and ms?
Do we all go have any traces of amalgam related items removed from our mouths even if neurologist or ms specialists don’t even bring it up during appointments?

“By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc).”

I second that motion, overall mercury is not healthy and not good for health.

I haven’t heard of a link with mercury.
I recently am interested in the links a company called GeNeuro is following. Viral links. Looks promising
