Federal panel response casts more doubt on "silver" fillings safety

In early September 2006, a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel rejected a federal report that said silver fillings are safe.  The panel said that more research is needed to assess the potential risk of these filings in the general population, and especially in children and pregnant women. 

Here is a sampling of the news coverage that resulted:

Good Morning America: Are Your Mercury Tooth Fillings Safe?
Chicago Tribune: Silver fillings: should you worry?
Forbes: FDA Advisers Reject Safety Report on Dental Fillings
KGET: Mercury content in silver fillings considered health hazardous
Los Angeles Times: FDA Advisors Find Holes in Report on Dental Fillings
