Subject: Docket Number: 2006N-0352 Re: Amalgam Fillings 

Dear  Mr. Adjodha:

There are countless people who are very concerned about the mercury
contained in amalgam fillings.  For years I, like others, have accepted
amalgam fillings from my dentist,  with confidence and without question.  I
no longer feel that way.  I am concerned and ask for appropriate action from
the FDA that includes:

1) FDA requiring dentists to disclose the negative effects of mercury along
with the reports to prove it

2) Defining "silver fillings" as "mercury fillings"

3) Mercury fillings no longer being needed with harmless alternatives
available

4) Protecting us all from the harmful effects of mercury fillings (including
neuro-toxins that harm the developing brains of children and fetuses)

Amalgam fillings should be banned, and done so forthwith.

Regards,

Jennifer Tarling
