Guest guest Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hello. I am in the process of removing amalgam from my mouth, I have three crowns and another three amalgams. My (Hg-free) dentist told me that for sure there is no amalgam along the canals. If there is amalgam under the crown, she said, we'll find it only on the top, where the crown is. She said she is sure about this because of how root canals are done. So, it might happen that she is wrong and: - she removes the possible amalgam from the top, - she sees another material under the amalgam apparently without Hg - so she stops working down along the canal but - under this material remains hidden more amalgam? In the x-rays picture of the mouth it is seen very white stuff down long thru the canals. Should I ask her to dig anyway until the end of the canal is seen? Is that possible? Or maybe the only Hg-safe procedure is to pull out these teeth? Thank you in advance.
