O/T question about removal

[Guest guest]

I had 4 amalgams removed last week. My doctor did not use a dam. He

said that particles can get caught under there and get missed. So he

just used water and suction. What do you think? He also wants to

remove o2 lower right and one upper left the next time. I have been

told by DAMS that that is not a good idea? What symptoms would I have

if he didn't do a good job and I was exposed to more Mercury? I felt

tired and had a slight headache for 2-3 days after, but thought that

might be due to the stress of the procedure. Is it a good idea to have

eyes, face and clothing protected during the procedure? The doctor

seemed to think that it didn't matter. Thanks, I need all the advise

that I can get.

I wouldn't use this dentist again. But what's done is done and I wouldn't

spend a minute worrying about it either. FWIW my wife grew up abroad and

had her amalgam fillings drilled out every year or two with no protection

whatsoever - and she's still around. She has decided to begin chelating

though.

---------My dentist didn't use a dam, but he used something called a " cleanup "

tool, which is also recommended by DAMS and IAOMT. They say either one. Is

this dentist a member of IAOMT and/or on the DAMS list? Did he measure the

currents of each filling? Where these 4 you had removed in the same quadrant?

What is your gut feeling about him? Did he seemed concerned about protecting

you, himself, and his staff from mercury vapor? Did he have some type of air

filtration system in his office? If he doesn't seem that concerned about these

things, I wouldn't go back. The other thing I've heard, is that if you go to

somebody who isn't too concerned, they might not even get all the amalgam out

before placing the composites right over small amounts that are

left.-------Jackie

-----------There are alot of recommendations by DAMS, Huggins, IAOMT, etc. I

really do not know if they are all necessary, and you can't go back and do it

both ways to see how you'd react, so you'll never really know. So, you'll have

to decide for yourself which ones you think are important. The other thing I

remember my dentist saying, is that some of these things are easy enough to do,

so if they might possibly help, then you should do them. One of the rules is to

not cross the midline, which your dentist wants to do on your next visit. Now

that seems easy enough to not do, and he shouldn't have any problem complying

with that. If he insists and won't listen to your concerns, then I wouldn't go

back for that reason either.-------Jackie

What symptoms would I have

if he didn't do a good job and I was exposed to more Mercury?

----------Even with precautions, you will be exposed to some mercury, it's

unavoidable. And everyone is different, so symptoms will be different, so hard

to answer that. A dramatic increase in symptoms or alot of new ones would

probably not be a good sign. It doesn't sound like yours were too

bad.------Jackie

-----------You should be breathing a fresh oxygen supply, I would consider

that a must. For the life of me, I can't remember if they put goggles on me or

not! If this dentist seems too *un*concerned about too many things, I would

consider that a red flag, and you probably shouldn't go back. You could ask him

how long he has been mercury-free and whether he's a member of IAOMT, or just

look on the website. I would think the serious ones are members.---------Jackie
