Thanks for the link (Connectingwith sauce) i will watch that one.
Interesting how the Americans see into this probable mass poisoning i would call it and yet the British are still quite happy using this type of filling.
As allways the poor old brits are having to make cut backs lol!

Except of course if you can pay privately for your dental care you would be hard pressed to find a NHS one now if you tried.
Our country must be one of the worst for getting their dental problems sorted out, the Americans can't understand why we have such bad teeth!
Well for one it's so costly in the Uk and if you are entitled to free dental care you would have to travel miles to find one because most of the NHS dentists have practically vanished!
Sometimes a new practice may open up but they are so swamped with possible new patients you would have to queue for miles.
