Are your teeth toxic?

Earlier this year I had my mercury-silver amalgam fillings holistically removed; now Jim's in the process of having his removed and replaced. The difference is, I went to a holistic dentist that treated the process as if he was removing a toxic substance from my body and Jim's dentist is simply removing and replacing without using an oxygen mask, special suction and rinces, etc., nor is he suggesting he do a detox before and after the process. We both believe in our dentists, so who's to say what's really the correct way? Truthfully, I've been sick a couples of times since having mine removed (and I rarely get sick) so maybe I shouldn't have had all my fillings (10) replaced in the span of a month. But I'm glad I did it and especially that I used a holistic dentist.

Here's an interesting article published in the Chicago Tribune called: Are Your Teeth Toxic?
