As a 43 year old male, I have become more conscious about my health. My wife and I had the debate about the effects of mercury amalgam. So, we elected to have the mercury replaced by a suitable and healthful alternative. While I did not have any noticeable health problems prior to the removal of the mercury. I remain convinced that this was the right thing to do. Of course, psychologically, I feel good about taking positive steps to maintain my health.
