Last week we learned about the tragic discovery in several  Las Vegas health clinics where syringes were being recycled and reused from patient to patient.

This huge development has involved the largest public health notification in American history.  Six  patients have already been diagnosed with hepatitis  C and 40,000 more may have been infected.

But there was another problem…  one which  was overshadowed by the syringes, but may be equally as dangerous.

It was revealed your dental work may have been outsourced to other countries where there aren’t  any regulations.  In other words, your crowns, bridges, and dentures as well as those of your elderly parents, may have been  made where the government does not oversee and inspect.  The dangers here are from possibly  having lead and other metals in your mouth that you might not be aware of.    Read Foreign Dental Work Put to the Test 

These stories prove we need to be more vigilant than ever. But maybe it’s time for the government to step in and do a better job insuring these kinds of atrocities come to an end.
