In an act of moral depravity, the Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA) and the Philadelphia County Dental Society (PCDS) have endorsed strong-arming parents of children with disabilities to force their written consent to mercury fillings.

These dental societies gave their stamp of approval to dentists who deny all treatment to disabled children unless the parents agree to expose their children to mercury.

Acknowledging that not having routine dental care is detrimental to health, the PDA/PCDS witness noted that people with disabilities in Philadelphia have no feasible alternative.

So the PDA and the PCDS are forcing parents of children with disabilities — even children who already have neurological disorders — to agree to mercury-laden implants or else no dentist will even clean their child’s teeth.

The evidence suggests that the Pennsylvania Dental Association has been planning its assault on the rights of disabled children for the past year.
