Could Abdominal Cramps Be A Result Of Swallowing Mercury Fillings While Having Them Refilled?

I had two mercury fillings removed today and new fillings put in. I noticed the dental assistant was doing minimal suction during the entire procedure so I was swallowing a lot. This evening I m having severe abdominal cramps. What could be causing this from my dental appointment today.

Hi.
The mercury for fillings is in the form of an amalgam and supposed to cause no harm. Yet on a safer side you can contact ER and give the history. You would also be examined to see that you are not suffering from something else. ( this also is a possibility).
