Patty , exactly. Joes father has hip implants and the dentist always has him on antibiotics before any dental work. And he was warned by docs to do so. Why arent we? Interesting. ---- Original Message -----

, I agree with your post. What is weird is that I know my mother, who has knee implants (and is very sick from them as well) was cautioned about always getting on antibiotics when she has her teeth cleaned or any other dental work. Apparently they are good at advising other implanted people about getting on the antibiotics, but I guess when it comes to breast implants they have brain farts about it.I was really glad, and intrigued, to hear that you were able to get a porcelain post! I was under the impression that all dental implants installed in the bone was with metal only. So far, thankfully, I've never had a root canal, crown, bridge or any other major dental work, but have always wondered, what am I going to do if I ever need one? I would absolutely refuse to have any metal implanted into the bone in my jaws. Knowing that porcelain is an option gives me great relief!Thanks for sharing!Patty> If medical community does not recognize that implants (silicone or saline) produce any symptoms or make women sick, I seriously doubt that the dental community will recognize it. I have never told my dentist that I had implants and if it was that important or relevant, I would think that they would ask you when they give you the questionnaire to fill up. > > I had a lot of mercury fillings replaced. They were very old and I believe they were leaking. I did not want a post (another metal implant in my system), so I tried to tell the dentist that I did not need a post and he told me it wasn't an option. Finally, he put in a porcelain post.> >
