One overlooked risk factor for dementia?

Mercury exposure.

Many older adults still have mercury fillings, and over time every filling no matter the type starts to wear down and crack. When that happens, small amounts of mercury can leach into the body.

Mercury is a heavy metal, and heavy metals interfere with the nervous system like a short circuit. Over years, that can contribute to cognitive decline.

If you still have old mercury fillings, talk to a qualified dentist about safe removal. It’s a simple step that can reduce a significant long-term risk.
