O/T Had Amalgam removal appt: Trouble, Need Help! (Long)

[Guest guest]

I had my amalgams removed yesterday (no problem there). But since the

gaps were rather large the dentist decided to place provisional crowns

and bridges over the teeth, instead of placing temproray fillings as

first planned. This is because he did not want to drill the fillings

all over again and put unnecessary strain on the teeth. Now, whatever

ceramic material was used (Cool Temp A2) - I had the most AWFUL

reaction to it - according to them it was to the white color - my

mouth started burning horribly - I was in tears!

I HAD to use chlorella tablets in my mouth, they gave them I really

had no choice I was feeling so wretched - kept them there massaging

them in the mouth till they became paste - 3 minutes -then spat it

out, rinsed thoroughly, and only after a while the burning stopped.

Then since the teeth had been shaved down to adjust the bridge to be

placed, and the huge gaps I had in my teeth, they insisted they had to

finish the job, so used the least bothersome (Cool Temp A1) material

for the provisional (did not have that white coloring). The problem is

the left side of the mouth still has problems (it starts to burn again

if I eat ANYTHING - the right side luckily is not bothering (today one

of the tiny provisionl 'crowns' over part of the tooth that had an

amalgam removed, just fell out, so now I am just rinsing very well

with water after I eat with the right side of the mouth).

The amalgam removals did not bother me but the allergic reaction to

the ceramic left me completely exhausted (I must have sat thru that

session for at least half an hour before I insisted on speaking with

the dentist himself - it was his assistant who handled the provisionals.

(Later on I did get the IV Vit C with nothing added to it).

Has anyone heard of such a thing happening before? I was very, very

upset. DH and I had to travel out of town for this appointment. We

went to eat some dinner that evening. I did not eat a morsel for my

mouth started to burn and I literally just sat in the restaurant and

cried my eyes out, right there in front of the other guests and dinner

being served - I just could not stop. At this point I did not know if

it was the mercury moving around in my system or just the entire

episode that did a huge, gigantic number on my emotions. I had to do

some deep breathing exercises to get myself to calm down before going

to sleep. I was very, very depressed! And I was scared throughout my

hazy sleep - felt very weird - almost as if I needed to conciously

stay calm or I would go whacko. Was that the mercury - the little bit

of chlorella - just the episode - a little bit of everything? I was

relieved to get out of bed in the morning and see the sky.

Today, the burning is not on the right side (work was down on both

sides). But the left side (2 amalgams removed Lower Left and bridge

work provisional done on Upper Left),burns even if I try to eat a

boiled potato! This is happening only if I try to eat something on the

left side. I don't know if the tissues of the palate and gums, cheek

etc have been burnt and are hence sensitive right now - I don't know

if just time will fix it or I need to take something for it.

The dentist said she had never heard of such a thing happening before,

it is an allergic reaction, I should have Vitamin E, drink lots of

water, take Chlorella (to which I now said NO), take the aminos etc.

But according to her I have to wait it out!

Please anyone with more info, I need help. Now I don't know if I can

go to another dentist to finish the job, since these guys have already

made the impressions etc and just have to tell the lab when I decide

to get the permanent crowns placed. If I use another dentist, does

this mean I will have to go thru the whole procedure again? That

seems like sheer torture and goodness knows what other harm I would be

doing to my body. And here I was just focussing on the mercury issue!!

Instead of celebrating that the amalgams are finally out I am feeling

pretty low about all of this and very confused.
