Re: Can I do Chelation with a Dental Metal Stud in my Jaw?

[Guest guest]

If it is JUST a stainless steel post you should be OK.

It would not be uncommon for a dentist to put amalgam at the root apex by

jamming it

down the canal before putting in the post, or to use to make a nice base for the

crown

after putting in the post and you do need to ensure this wasn't done or you will

do very

poorly with chelation.
