O/T Mercury Free Dentist Question/Referral Needed

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have one more filling to have removed and have two crowns to deal

with somehow, one of which is broken. The filling is tiny and is in

one of my incisors. There may be some metal under the intact filling,

so I am having that worked on too.

I listened to Andy's interview on AutismOne Radio yesterday and one of

the things he said was that it is important to have a doc who has good

manual dexterity because placing composites is pretty challenging.

The dentist I had used to have my other bigger amalgam removed this

Spring was a mercury-free dentist, though I am not sure he meets the

criteria for really doing the removal properly. He did use a dam, but

I don't remember a separate source of breathing air. He did use

charcoal, and I had been pretty well supplemented before and after

having the amalgam removed. All that said, he is kind of old and I

don't know whether his dexterity is up to par.

The composite he placed seems fine, and I didn't seem to suffer any

real ill effects from having my big amalgam removed under his care.

Should I go back to him? Or can someone recommend someone else? I am

in south/central Indiana (Bloomington) and need to get this done soon

as I have to go back to work in October. Between work and my ASD

kiddo, I will never get it done if I don't do it now.

Thanks in advance.

Anne
