Mercury Accumulation in Dentists
Evidence published in 1989 (almost 3 decades ago!) suggested that
mercury is able to travel easily from the oronasal cavity to the floor
of the cranial cavity, where it is concentrated into the pituitary
gland. The pathway is thought to be the olfactory nerves or the
cranial venous system; these bypass the detoxifying effect of the
liver which ameliorates the effect of lung and gut doses of mercury.
Pituitary glands taken post-mortem from Swedish dentists showed that
the mercury level in the pituitary gland was, on average, 2.5 times
(and in one case 169 times) that in the brain cortex.
