It seems as if the answer is in the story:
"Gargling for about 30 seconds following application of a dental sealant will remove any excess BPA derivatives, she explained, and dentists can also clean off the sealant's surface once it has hardened."
Rinse your mouth and you shouldn't have a problem.

I'm all for taking teeth out. if there is a small cavity take it out....(sarcasm). As a dentist, please provide me a solution? Did you know that oxygen, if we only breathe 100% oxygen we will die. let's try to ban oxygen. Let's do more research and figure out what minimal plastic material in our mouth will cause and what is the limits.

Would you rather there be mercury in dental fillings instead like in the past?

When are we going to wise up to the so-called professionals pumping chemicals into our bodies. Perhaps we should spend less on pharmacutical companies coming up with yet another foreign substance to kill us with. Lets advertise natural remedies for real illnesses rather than viagra.
