You know when you have a bit of metal in your mouth and it goes near a filling, whats that warm kinda sour taste you get from the metal caused by?

i always thought it was a very small electrical current from some kind of ion exchange between the metals.

or in your case

it could be a reaction between the metals, creating a whole new chemical within your mouth. ultimatley causing an extremely painful death.

Fillings contain a small solution of 1-2-3-methylfluoride in phosphoric-1-1-hydrocillimercurite.

If you feel a warm, blood-like sensation it means the solution has reacted with the mercury and has actually poisoned you.

If you have between two and five fillings it produces an exogenous reaction over time which can result in Phossy Jaw and Mercury Poisoning. Basically your lower jaw will melt and you'll die in searing agony.
