Mercury poisoning causes permanent damage. In the US, the ADA and the FDA say it’s safe in fillings and many dentists still use it. Also, despite what you’ve been told, it’s still regularly used in the manufacture of pokes labeled mercury free at levels exceeding the label, even when it’s not used as a preservative.
