"Dental amalgam controversy." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, Inc, 1 April 2010.
Web. 7 Apr 2010. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_amalgam_controversy

This site has so much information. It goes over practically everything anyone wants to know about amalgam. It covers what it is, the awareness of it, exposures, health effects, history, ADA, attempts in lawsuit, other countries who have band it, ect. Even though this has a lot of information about my subject amalgam. I wont be using a lot of it just because I know wikipedia is a web site where anyone can edit, but it’s a good web site to read up on amalgam and find new questions that I might of never even thought of like lawsuits that have happened. Therefore I’m just going to use this as my 5th site as kind of a reference.

"FDA ISSUES FINAL REGULATION ON DENTAL AMALGAM. " US Fed News
Service, Including US State News 29 Jul 2009,General Interest Module, ProQuest
. Web. 7 Apr. 2010.

This is form ProQuest it’s about how the FDA feels about amalgam, recommendations and its labeled as a class II risk. It goes to talk about in the past when it was just starting to become a problem and different date on testing amalgam. I’m going to use this article because its mostly from the FDA’s point of view. That way I will have this and the ADA point of view too. It will back up my argument.

Hall, David. "White Composite Fillings Versus Silver Amalgam Fillings." My new smile.
N.p., 1995. Web. 7 Apr 2010. http://www.mynewsmile.com/whitefillings.htm.

This is a blog I found written by Dr. David Hall he is a cosmetic dentist and his blog goes over lots of information about amalgam fillings and composite fillings also known as non-amalgam fillings. It give a list of pros and cons for both in bullet points, pictures of what both look like in a mouth, facts on what people manly want to know about amalgam and non-amalgam fillings. It also has links all over the place that I can go to for more information on silver fillings, tooth decay, cost of both filling and the list goes on. This helps me a lot because on of my supporting arguments is on alternative less harmful ways to fill teeth and this blog gives me easily facts on the pros and cons which will definitely go in my essay.

"Statement on Dental Amalgam." American Dental Association. American Dental
Association, 25 August 2009. Web. 7 Apr 2010.

This source talks about how amalgam is approved by that American Dental Association and they say its safe. They use some fact like science results and the World Health Organization to back up how it works and the safety of amalgam. Then lastly it give date of articles that has been published with test that have been proven that its fine to use. I’m going to use this for my counter argument because my essay is going to say why it isn’t safe. I’m going to use research and find statistics that say otherwise and maybe find stories of people who have had bad reactions to amalgam.

Stay, F.. "Is There a Battery in Your Mouth? " Total Health 1 Aug. 2007: Health Module,
ProQuest. Web. 7 Apr. 2010.

This source talks about three major things such as the different kinds of metals that can’t be used together because it cause currents in the mouth like a battery which can lead to a lot of pain, the risks and facts about amalgam and lastly the careful tips when getting implants because that deals with a lot of metal in the mouth as well. Mostly I’m going to use the risks and facts about amalgam because that is going to be my main argument. I found the different metals can cause currents interesting so I might use that a little and connect it with amalgam sense its all about metal and mercury.
