Dudley Smith, Wootton, Bedfordshire, EnglandFrom late 2006 I embarked on a course of dental treatment which involved drilling out old mercury amalgam fillings in order to fit some bridges. On my last appointment the dentist was drilling away at my teeth and my mouth filled up with waste as he did not have a dental nurse in the surgery sucking the waste from my mouth, and before I had a chance to spit the waste out, I swallowed half the stuff.
