Yes and no and/or maybe. Mercury is released during removal,
so you'd need to find a dentist that observes proper technique for
the operation. If you can, find one that has been trained by Dr.
Huggins, the guy who brought this issue into the public view with
his book "It's All in Your Head". (Hint: search Amazon.com for that,
and check out the reader comments too.)

I've heard that there are many dentists doing mercury removal,
and you need to be careful to find one that does it "right".

Some dentists even have something like a DMM to check electric
potentials of each filling, to make sure to take them out in
the proper order. I'm not kidding! (And no, I don't have any
idea if the theory that is based on is really scientifically
grounded or not.)

Folks our age are going to die of
*something* in two or three decades, regardless.

I might die tomorrow, and if it happens, that's not a problem
for me. What DOES matter is that I have a high-quality and
enjoyable life with value in the meantime.
