Do u have any education in dentistry? Is there any deaths that can be linked to this?
Well I have I am a dental student.
I have read in journals and books about it and u need to ingest a hell of a lot of fluoride for it to be toxic! Like 2.5 grams systemic intake can have effect. Topically remineralizes teeth by replacing lost hydroxy appetite crystals , lost due to acid caised by carbohydrate consuming bacteria (Streptococi) .
As for amalgam fillings becoming less common practice has to due with aesthetics reasons. I myself have an amalgam filling members of my family also have it and I would recommend it to them cause cheaper and more effective.

Yes, we have a person in our ecovillage with education & experience in dentistry. Yes, deaths can be linked to improper practice of dentistry: http://fluoridealert.org/articles/kennerly/
Data does not support that fluoride remineralizes teeth, but it does show that there are extensive dangers posed by this substance. Additionally, acid damage can be stopped by changing the diet.
Amalgam fillings are not more effective than composites. Composites can absorb some of the force of impact (such as in biting) unlike metal fillings, which transfer it to the tooth tissue and can lead to more cracks and fissures.
Cognitive dissonance is very real, which is why it's imperative to do more research rather than writing off opposition to your beliefs. The evidence is very clear that both fluoride & mercury are toxic to humans.
"The evidence is very clear that both fluoride & mercury are toxic to humans." That is a half truth in large amounts it is toxic and only systematically. Fluoride applied at dentist are topical just as are toothpaste, meaning not to ingest. Alchol is also toxic but we drink it ? To much will kill us but also has medicinal benefits, why aren't you taking on that?
Where did this person in your village gain his information about dentistry?
I read numerous articles and I am proof of fact amalgam lasts longer. I have different types of fillings in my mouth yet the amalgam are best shape where composite has fractured and needs to be fixed after 3 years.
Have u observed physiological process with microscope that takes place once fluoride is applied to a tooth.
And why whould I use fluoride and keep using fluoride toothpaste as oral health care worker? I have nothing to gain exept healthy teeth!
This is an important subject.
This is not a proof and you considering this a proof demonstrate some negligence on your part.
This is not a proof either. Whether or not fluoride has more benefits and risks isn't what I want to highlight. I just want to highlight that you're not bringing proof for any of your claims.
Thank you @teamsteem for bringing some sanity!
It is very concerning to hear that you work around amalgam fillings each day without proper protections since you do not believe it to be dangerous. I hope you watch the videos, and do some additional research for your own benefit before it causes you untold and possible long term damage. Here is a wonderful article to start with @janus27. https://www.sott.net/article/345184-Mercury-The-Quintessential-Anti-Nutrient
I wish you well!
