At the risk sounding selfish or annoying others with another mercury filling thread, I'm trying to rule out causes of my medical/mental health problems and need to know this (I have 2 mercury dental fillings). Are there any chemistry people who care to respond?
If the mercury in your fillings is vaporizing - then how does any matter remain in the filling in the long run?
I'm very skeptical about running out and getting the 2 fillings replaced that have been in my teeth for 20+ years, and I can't afford to spend the little resources I have unwisely.
Doesn't that pertain to the general properties of matter?..Where matter can't be in 2 places at once; therefore, when the mercury vaporizes (as others have said the fillings give off mercury vapors) - it leaves the filling area. In time, there will be no mercury left in the filling. ?
Please do not suggest that I read a book (I have a pile of books in front of me-half of which should have been read or started). Can anyone please just answer this question?
Thanks~

I imagined that the mercury vapourised very slowly.
Will your fillings will have to be replaced soon enough anyway?
20 years must just about be the life of them.
When I had mine out my dentist found some decay under the mercury, which I'm not sure was visible from the Xray

Sigis, now that's the closest answer to that particular question I've seen here..lol. Last I went to the dentist, no mention of needing fillings replaced. That was 2 years ago-though-can't afford to go right now :(
But it's on my list of things to do; the list is huge...
I'd speculate--that after living in a house built at the turn of last century, and exposed to all the toxins we are on a regular basis-that removing those fillings wouldn't make a damn difference.
Thanks~
