can mercury teeth filling cause dizziness?

[george_naser]

i have sever dizziness and fatigue for a long time, i did all the required blood tests thyroid tests, MRI, and CT scan, all normal, i took a lot meditations for anxiety and depression, but they did not work too! finally when i read about the mercury in the teeth filling, i decided to remove it out from my mouth, amazinlgly i get more dizziness during drilling, so i wonder, can mercury teeth filling cause dizziness?

I haven't heard that before.  I did read a research article that removing metal fillings actually releases more mercury than when they're stable and in the mouth.  Although its just a research article and not exactly a proven scientific fact, that may have contributed to your situation.  Once the fillings are out though, the effects should go away I would assume.  But again, I never heard of dizziness as an effect.  Also, there's no substantial evidence showing that metal fillings are dangerous.  If there was something definitive, they wouldn't let us use it.
