fillings in my

mouth and I am scheduled to have them removed on August. 2nd. Is there anything

I can

do to prepare my body before, during and after the removal of these fillings? Is

there any

specific procedure I should request from my dentist during the removal of these

fillings.

Take vitamin C, magnesium and zinc several times a day, A and E daily starting

at least a

week beforehand (a bit late to tell you, I know) and eat a lot of fibery food

for the several

days afterwards. Oatmeal, lots of fruit, squash, etc.

The dentist should give you independent breathing air or oxygen through a

nosepiece,

and use a dam or something like the " clean up " system instead that sucks up

everything as

he drills.
