Now quite a few people have their amalgam fillings removed and replaced 
with composite. Not all of them get any better. Also a number of people 
report feeling unwell after a dental visit.

I wonder if the aniline metabolites from the anaesthetic has been a problem 
for a lot. Besides composite trouble, that is.
