Norway has decided that Mercury should not be placed in your mouth. They have totally banned dental amalgams across the country. Initially they banned using the dental amalgam in children and pregnant women. Dentists were advised to begin using safer alternatives. Besides dental amalgams, the said country has also banned all measuring equipment with mercury in them. 

The country is concerned regarding the possible effects of mercury in the human body. According to the Minister of Environment and Development Erik Solheim, “Mercury is among the most dangerous environmental toxins.  Satisfactory alternatives to mercury in products are available, and it is therefore fitting to introduce a ban.” 

Will the U.K., and U.S. follow suit?
