Re: NCD and gold in the mouth

[Guest guest]

One of the most common gold alloys is with Palladium. Palladium is extremely

toxic and commonly immune reactive, similar to mercury, except unlike mercury it

isn't a gas at room temperature and doesn't continuously vaporize to mercury

vapor.

But it does have the galvanic " battery effect " of mixed metals in an

electrolyte(saliva) which pumps the metal into the oral cavity and from there

throughout the body.

There is also a good chance that your gold crown was placed over amalgam, which

can cause even higher mercury and toxic metal exposures than a regular filling.

Its unlikely the NCD will resolve many of your problems in the long term. In a

similar situation, I got my gold crowns replaced and am very glad I did. I am

now essentially recovered after being disabled for a while.
