Guest guest Posted November 17, 1998 Report Share Posted November 17, 1998 Shortly before my two bouts with HyperT I had major dental work done. I understand the anesthetic they use affects the adrenals...and I understand they use mercury in crowns and fillings that are not good for people. Have any of you had fillings or crown work done a couple of months before getting diagosed? Just searching for other pieces to the puzzle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 1998 Report Share Posted November 17, 1998 Hi Esther and Everyone, The possible connection between dental treatment and hyperthyroidism is something that I've been wondering about for a long time. Esther was wondering about the anesthetics affecting the adrenals, and the effects of mercury on the thyroid. In the mid-1980s I was sick for a couple years and finally traced it down to getting silver amalgam fillings put into my teeth. I eventually got all those fillings removed and now feel that anyone who has mercury in their mouth should be taking selenium to counter the mercury. I feel that the mercury contributed to my hypothyroidism at that time. Recently I've been concerned that dental X-rays, especially when 16 or so are done at once, may affect the thyroid. A lead shield is put over the thyroid, but I got hyperthyroidism shortly after having alot of these X-rays done. Now I demand a double lead shield. Has anyone else had dental work done just before your thyroid condition manifested? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 1998 Report Share Posted November 18, 1998 Hi , After the birth of my son, I had a full mouth dental X-ray done at an exam. I had always declined x-rays at exams in the past. They insisted that the needed the record on file. I went ahead & let them take the x-ray. I also developed a sore on the side of my tongue that would not heal shortly after the birth of my son. They tried everything to cure it. I had them file the filling that was next to the sore. I eventually had a surgeon remove the lesion. They did a biopsy of the lesion. It was some sort of autoimmune " thing " . I can not remember the name, but if you want it I can request my records. They oral surgeon said it was a fluke & that it should never happen again. A few months later the lesion is back. I WAS HORRIFIED!! I DID NOT WANT TO GET PART OF MY TONGUE CUT OFF AGAIN. I happen to be watching Dateline when they had a special on amalgam fillings. Luckily, I only had one filling!! It was right next to the sore!! I told the denist to remove it & put in a composite filling. My tongue actually healed on its own within a week. I have had no more sores. I truly believe that amalgam fillings should be removed. The filling was originally put in during my junior or senior year of high school. I did not have any problems with my tongue until after the birth of my son at age 32. I did start having Irritable Bowel Syndrome in my senior year of high school. It cleared up the minute I started the synthroid. I guess that means my first symptoms appeared around the same time as the amalgam filling.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Lynn, I have a friend of mine whose son is 10, very small for his age too and all his big teeth came in. His mouth is so small that they had to put a special thing on his molars to stretch them apart so there would be room for all his teeth. Adam, my nearly 9 year old still has his 2 baby teeth on the top. The 3 out of 4 on the bottom are in. I have to bring him in to the dentist and get him x-rayed to see if he has any adult teeth up there. Jeanne > Dear fellow apraxia parents, I have a question for everyone. My daughter is amost 7 and sees a special pediatrician dentist for the past 4 yrs and through out the years she has made much progress. As we all know the dentist can be difficult with an apraxia child. > But now our last visit the x-rays showed that 2 of her molors in the back are already starting to come in and they are very big, so big that we may have to remove her baby molars and other teeth to get them to fit. The dentist has never seen this before, especially since my daughter is quite small also, 41inches tall and 38lbs. > So the question is has anyone else had these problems with the molars??? and Just problem at the dentist in general?? and How did you help them??? > Thanks in advance for you help, > Mother of Kaylin, Lynn > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Debba, Yeah that was my first time ever, having any kind of bumps/blisters in my mouth. I have a feeling i'm going to have to go back to my old dentist, but when I called her office when all that was going on, she was out of the office for two weeks doings some educational requirements, some kind of continuing educational stuff so I could not be seen by her. Isn't that the way it all usually works though. lol. Well isn't that just one more stress to add to the pile, of things to deal with with PA. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hmmmm--My dentist's chair doesn't grab my magnet. I get to listen to all the questions and then feel awkward when I can't respond because I have a mouth full of dental equipment. I'm going to ask about this next appointment--February 6.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 HI , Yes, being a dentist myself, I've noticed that all my patients with CI's go through what you're experiencing -- the chair attracts the magnet due to it's internal iron structure. They usually remove the CI processor and put it in their shirt pocket. I make sure I do all my talking before starting dental treatment, and most people don't want to hear the whine of the drill, the high pitched noises of the suction, the scraping of the instruments on teeth, etc. I hear plenty myself with my own CI! activated a year ago prelingually profoundly deaf On 12/2/05, <wdywms@...> wrote: > How do you manage at dentists?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Gals, I am looking into trying to find a holistic Dentist too. I have given up on that dentist of mine, he is way too careless, and the last time I went to him I got a bad, very painful infection, and I was on the road to Texas and back and couldn't do much about it. So, do they ADVERTISE they are holistic, or do you call them and ask their secretaries, OR WHAT? Thanks, Jim. ### selmanaka <hardynaka@...> wrote: Muriel, I'm in Switzerland, so I guess not much help. Thanks for your message! There is ALWAYS HOPE when no permanent damage had yet occured!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 To anyone in this area, I can also recommend these folks. http://www.grotondentalwellness.com/ I've heard on the mercury lists that many people come here from across the country and around the world. They have already taken out my amalgams. They have an MD on staff who will walk you through all the steps - preparing for amalgam removal, post amalgam removal, and chelation. I haven't started chelating yet - kinda waiting for my schedule to slow down a bit in case I get sick. D.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Dear Terry, Forget about the vanity, CML is here. Unfortunately this is not the only indignity we must bear. I am sure most dentists will let you pay something each month. I know my dentist has a sign in each room that work must be paid for as rendered. I just wait until I am done and ask how much I can pay on the installment plan. Bet they would rather have you pay in installments rather than lose you as a patient. They can't get blood of a turnip, even if you aren't a turnip. LOL. I owed my dentist thousands and I am down to my last payment over the years. If they see you are sincere about paying, I'm sure they will allow you to pay as you are able and not as you go. Good luck. Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
