But to name a specific practitioner and accuse the person of negligence, you'd better be sure your facts will hold up if you get sued for slander.]]>Mar 24th 2009 7:58PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/dentist-sues-writer-of-negative-online-yelp-review/http://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/dentist-sues-writer-of-negative-online-yelp-review/
This dentist should be countersued for putting in dangerous mercury fillings!

Did the dentist TELL the parents she was putting in fillings with MERCURY?

Dentists do not do that anymore. It is not considered state of the art dentistry anymore.

This dentist should LOSE this case. ]]>Sep 24th 2009 11:33AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/dentist-sues-writer-of-negative-online-yelp-review/http://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/dentist-sues-writer-of-negative-online-yelp-review/Sep 24th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/dentist-sues-writer-of-negative-online-yelp-review/http://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/dentist-sues-writer-of-negative-online-yelp-review/barb, you are mistaken, on all points.
For the record (from a quick google)....."A 1993 study published in FDA Consumer found that 50% of Americans believed mercury filings caused health problems.[7] The broad lack of knowledge among the public was displayed when a December 1990 episode of the CBS news program 60 Minutes covered mercury in amalgam. This resulted in a nationwide amalgam scare, and additional research into mercury release from amalgam. The following month, Consumer Reports published an article criticizing the content of the broadcast, stating that it contained a great deal of false information and that the ADA spokesperson on the program was ill prepared to defend the claims"....
...'since the scientific data remains inconclusive and has not yet proven either safety or danger."
"The FDI World Dental Federation performed a meta-analysis of the literature on mercury toxicity and concluded that there is no documented scientific evidence to show adverse effects from mercury in amalgam restorations except in extremely rare cases of mercury hypersensitivity"
"Two recent randomized clinical trials in children [35][35] discovered no statistically significant differences in adverse neuropsychological or renal effects observed over the five-year period in children whose caries were restored using dental amalgam or composite materials"

Before you bash and insult people with name-calling, or make unfounded statements (far from your experience or educational level) at least do a little simple research and find the truth.]]>Apr 4th 2010 7:36AM
