Bill for Banning Amalgam Reintroduced
A bill for banning amalgam dental fillings has been (re)introduced to the
house by Congresswoman Diane Watson. The bill is HR 4011.
Congresswoman Watson's staff has encouraged us to get behind the bill and
has asked the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology to have
its members contact their local representatives.

We also strongly encourage the public to also do so. Please let them hear
your voice!


Excellent news for dentists. If amalgams are banned there will be tens
of billions of dollars going into dentists' pockets.


Good point. I understand that the alternatives to amalgams take longer
to use, and, do not last as long. Using a simple business model,
patients and insurance companies will have to come up with more money to
pay for non-amalgam restorations.

This bill could be rightly called the Dentist Full Employment Act.
