Re: Stainless steel crowns

[Guest guest]

I have worked in dentistry for 12 years, we have always used stainless steel crowns on children, I have never heard of an adverse effect. I would put one on my daughter if she needed one.

Are stainless steel safe for our kids ....our dentist wants to make 4 stainless steel crowns for my 11 year old's molars. He says these will be temporary till he gets older and can then have the permanent ceramic ones. Has anyone tried something similar and is stainless steel safe ....?

You need to read Hal Huggin's book " Uninformed Consent " chapter 10.

Stainless steel crowns are made of nickle, berryllium, cobalt and

chromium. Nickle dissolves into the saliva and is more rapid if

berryllium is present. Nickle is carcinogenic according to studies

for the last 50 years. Displaces magnesium and calcium ions in the

cells. Nickle inhibits certain enzymes necessary for DNA repair.

Adverse immune reaction to nickle. Cobalt enhances the

carcinogenicity of nickle. According to California Prop 65, if you

live in CA, you must be informed that nickle is known to create

reproductive toxicity. Nickle alters vision more than mercury. These

are just brief excerpts from that chapter. I would seek out Dr.

Marilyn DDS in Houston, She was able to place a resin filling

in my son's tooth that was recommended for a crown by another

dentist. She said it was possible that the filling could fall out

before the permanent tooth came in. I said that wss fine, we'd

replace it if we had to. Very nice office.
