Recent Wins in the Mercury-Free Dentistry Movement.


04/09/2024

In 2014, I was appointed lead activist (by American attorney, Charlie Brown) to represent the UK in the Global Minamata Treaty, to ban mercury pollution. One of the successful outcomes of this was the new EU regulation to ban dental amalgam use in children under 15 and pregnant and nursing women. This came into force in July, 2018, in 28 EU countries including the UK. The EU will ban dental amalgam use, manufacture and export starting January 1, 2025, setting a global precedent for phasing out mercury in dentistry. The Minamata Convention on Mercury Treaty aims to phase out dental mercury worldwide by 2030, with a vote scheduled for autumn 2025.
