Are Dental Staff Occupationally Exposed? |
|
Answer» Dentists use premixed capsules, which reduce the chance of mercury spills. And newer, more advanced DENTAL amalgams are containing smaller amounts of mercury than before. An interesting factor can be brought into this: Because dental staff are exposed to mercury more often, ONE would expect dental personnel to have HIGHER rates of neurological DISEASES, such as MULTIPLE sclerosis. They, in fact, do not. Dentists use premixed capsules, which reduce the chance of mercury spills. And newer, more advanced dental amalgams are containing smaller amounts of mercury than before.
