A friend of mine developed ALS in 2008. When he finally told everyone (email to our friend group because it was hard to tell individually), he mentioned that he had had all of his fillings replaced because of the metal issues and the possibility that it was contributingto the disease progression. This was almost 18 years ago and this was considered controversial, but I distinctly remember him writing about how desperate times called for desperate measures. But looking back, did they know/suspect then? Looks like it...
(I had a tooth where I asked the doctor about why it felt weird and she said it was cracked. I asked what caused it and she just said "old". I had to laugh.)
Well one reason dentists want to get rid of those fillings is that the material is dangerous to work on. So drilling out all fillings in a short time would be too?
