Consumers for Dental Choice (CDC)

Web       http://www.toxicteeth.org/

The goal of our Campaign for Mercury-Free Dentistry is to phase out the use of amalgam, a 50% mercury product -- worldwide. The recently concluded draft mercury treaty requires each signing nation to phase down its use of amalgam, and it provides a road map how. We aim to:

Educate consumers about the use of mercury in dentistry so they can make informed decisions
Stop dental mercury pollution
Protect consumers – especially vulnerable populations such as children and the unborn – from exposure to dental mercury
Empower dental workers – dental assistants and hygienists – to protect themselves from mercury in the workplace
Promote access to mercury-free alternatives to amalgam
