 Dear Sir,



Arguably, there is disagreement about the risks and benefits of

"mercury" fillings. While debate continues, it is imperative that

patients are fully informed about the substances they are putting into

their bodies. If there is concern about ingredients, patients should

be informed. Allow educated consumers to make up their own minds.



I strongly urge the FDA and ADA to make it clear that educating

patients fully about amalgam fillings and the alternatives available

is part of responsible, patient-friendly dental care.



Yours very sincerely,



Lisa Porter
