Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 Kay, I don't know the answer to your question, but it reminds me of some of my own. I know fluoride is controversial, but it particularly dangerous to our kids with autism? In my mind, fluoride is much lower on the possible dangerous things to my child compared to say mercury. And let's face it, kids and young adults don't have cavities/amalgams today, like those of my generation. I KNOW I don't want my kids to have amalgam fillings, and unfortunately, I know exactly how much the alternatives that last (gold and porcelain) cost. Which reminds me of another question. I'm moving toward getting my amalgams replaced, and will chose between gold and porcelain; any health consequences favoring one or the other? At this point, cosmetics are guiding my choices (porcelain in the front, gold in the back) Also, other than fluoride, what are the dentists doing these days to kids to prevent cavities? I don't really know what sealants are. Is there anything else dentists do preventatively for kids in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2001 Report Share Posted September 9, 2001 --- as far as the fluoride treatment, I would be concerned about the ARSENIC which is IN the fluoride. My son's hair analysis shows +95% arsenic, which I understand could cause autistic behavior also. I am currently looking for a good chelator for arsenic. My son also meets Andy's counting rules, and I have been chelating him since March,2001. However,I wonder if I need to concentrate on the arsenic first???
