Costa Rica is at the top of the list of the happiest countries on Earth. As a small Central American country of less than seven million people, the proud nation has a robust social security system, including a universal basic healthcare service that is still currently phasing down mercury amalgam fillings.
To a country that already dedicates about a quarter of its territory to protected nature reserves, the success of mercury safe and free dental access in Costa Rica is expanding along with its rapidly developing dental market and economy.
As a result, Costa Ricans can look forward to mercury freedom in the near future, and keep and maintain its happiness levels on top of global rankings.
