The article seems to focus on the negative effects of the costs of alternatives for dental practices on the NHS, but I think the real story here is why have dental amalgams, containing the super toxic, chemical element mercury that is hazardous to both the environment and to human health, been drilled into people's teeth for so long?
Dental amalgams emit mercury vapours when chewed upon with food and so on, which seems dangerous.
There are recommended guidelines and limits for mercury consumption in food, particularly fish - why have dental amalgams been deemed "safe and effective" for so long, and yet now the EU parliament has voted to ban them due to environmental reasons?
