pregnancy - amalgam

i wouldn't worry about assisting for amal fillings. we were all tested to find out what the mercury levels were in our bodies.i have been nursing 22 years and one of my workmates for 2 years. her levels were much higher than mine. i have no amal fillings she had lots!! i worked full time through both of my pregnancies.

If your following the protocols yes. it will be much safer than being around ionising radiation...even if you follow your local rules i'd say.

can anyone tell me if pregnant dental nurses can assist with amalgam fillings??
