Funny you should mention that! Driving home this evening, just heard
on the radio the government is about to issue advice to pregnant women
to have mercury fillings replaced or avoided!
There's a lot of material on systemic mercury poisoning and dental
fillings.
If I ever have a filling now, I request a 'white' non-mercury one.
I'll try to dig up the refs for you.
