that's exactly what i meant! i do not agree with amalgam fillings and hate to see people have to get root canals. i was just trying to make a point that alot of people are unfortunately uneducated about oral health and some "just don't care". i don't know how many times i've heard "i don't care, just pull them all out." it sickens me. pulling your teeth out is like losing an arm or leg. you need your teeth and mouth to perform one of the most important functions for survival. eating and drinking! let's keep it healthy! most people don't go to the dentist until they are in pain, usually resulting in fillings, root canals, or worse - extractions. we all really need to get out there and promote good oral health so we don't have to mess around with any harmful materials and permanent loss of teeth and healthy bone.
