The issue is whether the methylation of inorganic mercury from dental amalgam is of sufficient size to significantly contribute to the exposure to organic mercury. While the debate over the safety of dental amalgam in general continues, people with a genetic risk for autoimmune disease could be more sensitive to it, Pollard says. The mothers who went to the dentist and had X rays were more likely, I would guess, to have had dental work done than the controls and would therefore be more likely to have been exposed to anesthesia and dental amalgams, which are about half mercury. |
