Nuns try to end mercury fillings at source.
Danaher owns Kerr, the largest manufacturer of mercury amalgam. Supported by Consumers for Dental Choice and the Mercury Policy Project, the Dominican Sisters of Hope, issued a resolution to transition out of manufacturing mercury fillings but was defeated at the company’s annual shareholder meeting this past Tuesday at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C., but not before receiving a total of over 43 million votes in favor (or 16.49% of the overall vote).
Dentists, as well as oncologists, are now using X-rays to detect “ghost sockets” in patients that take these drugs and when these sockets are found, it signals that the jawbone is not healing the right way. Early detection of these ghost sockets can help the patient avoid permanent damage to their jawbone, according to an article in the March/April 2009 issue of General Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry’s (AGD) clinical, peer-reviewed journal.
