Other than reviewing these mercury poisoning symptoms here, the only way to really know is to be tested.

You can see your doctor and have them do a blood test for mercury. This test will only measure the amount of mercury that is circulating in your blood stream. It will not measure the amount that may have settled in your bodies tissues.

Having your doctor do a urine challenge test using either DMSA or DMPS is much more accurate. DMSA and DMPS will pull mercury from your bodies tissues to be removed through your urine. Usually three samples are taken and sent to a lab to be analyzed.

I have seen blood tests for mercury come back ok but a follow up urine challenge test showed high levels of mercury.

Typically, if your fillings are over 10 years old they probably leak and could be effecting your health. However, 75% of people are able to detox themselves of this mercury without any problems. The other 25% have a problem detoxing themselves of mercury and should address the high levels.

There is no safe way to use mercury in dentistry
by: Anonymous

Hi,

The truth is that there is no safe way to use mercury in dentistry. It doesn't belong in the mouth full stop. Once it is there, some mercury will be leaching into the system. If you are lucky and you have efficient "methylation" genes, then your body may be able to prevent it from accumulating. However, if you have any of the SNPs that lead to impaired detoxification of mercury and other toxins, then you will almost certainly accumulate mercury in the tissues over time, eventually leading to the progressive development of symptoms.
