are there any dentists in kc who accept medicaid for children and who provide cavity fillings that are NOT mercury. I went to a dentist today who only provides mercury fillings for medicaid patients but my kids cannot have mercury fillings...any ideas?
 
Why can your kids not have amalgam fillings?
If you only knew...you would not want white composite fillings placed in baby teeth...unless you want them to get recurrent decay or have the fillings replaced in a year or two or worse, kill the nerve in the tooth.

Amalgam fillings contain mercury which, if it disintegrates and spreads through the body, can cause diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. Also, it has a tendency to crack your teeth whenever it adjusts to hot and cold temperature in your mouth.

Sorry I don't know any dentists in KC, by the way.
