Earlier this month, a little noticed announcement from the FDA signaled the first major crack in the amalgam filling "cabal" here in the United States. For amalgam fillings, this announcement may signal the beginning of the end, the tipping point, the straw that broke the camel's back, the crack in the dam, the first nail in the coffin. You get the idea.

For years, the FDA has marched arm in arm with the American Dental Association and unflinchingly maintained the joint position that mercury fillings are perfectly safe, despite ever increasing evidence to the contrary. But on June 3rd, they finally broke ranks.

However, before you give a big round of applause to the FDA, understand that their statement was not voluntary. It resulted from the settlement of a lawsuit brought by the Mercury Policy Project, http://www.mercurypolicy.org/, Mom's Against Mercury, http://www.momsagainstmercury.org/ Consumers for Dental Choice, http://www.toxicteeth.org/ et al.

And although the statement itself was weak and highly qualified, it certainly represents a breaking of the ranks, and it absolutely signals the beginning of the end for amalgam fillings -- even if the ADA can't see it yet.
