SPECIAL EXTENSION: Your Help is Needed!

We extended the opportunity to make a difference. Mercury Awareness Week now runs until tomorrow, August 27, with donations matched up to $150,000. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this momentous change.

Many people assume mercury fillings are a thing of the past. But in the U.S., they are still used in dental care for low-income families, Native Americans, military members, and institutionalized individuals — groups that often have no choice. While major dental groups have quietly distanced themselves from amalgam, the system still reserves mercury for the poor while mercury-free alternatives go to those who can afford them.

Thanks to advocates like Consumers for Dental Choice, progress has been made worldwide. Amalgam is now banned in Europe and across parts of Asia and Africa, and even the FDA and WHO have reversed their positions. Yet the U.S. government remains the largest buyer of mercury fillings. The upcoming 2025 Minamata Convention could finally turn the global phase-out goal into a binding legal requirement.

Are “silver fillings” still being placed in your community? Learn how this hidden health risk persists, who is fighting to end it, and how you can help support the cause.
