Teeth Fillings Could Trigger Electric Shocks
Dr Witten Benhiver of the University of Oklahoma told the American Association for the Advancement of Science that a single metal dental filling can act as a tiny battery. Saliva and body fluids conduct electricity between dental metals, generating currents up to 245 millivolts in single fillings and higher in pairs. Researchers noted possible link between metallic fillings and mouth disorders, possibly due to individual sensitivity to metals rather than current strength.
