Norway has acted in 2008 to discontinue the use of dental amalgam. The action was part of a sweeping effort to restrict the use of mercury and was done so largely for environmental reasons. ( American Dental Association advisory).
The BC Dental Association supports the use of amalgam separators as part of best management practices for dental offices. More information is available on CDA website at:

Proactive Dental Studio complies with the BC Dental Association advisory and uses an amalgam separator to help saving the environment.
