Re: Hidden amalgam survey - crown removed, no amalgam

[Guest guest]

I had my only gold crown removed, and there was no

amalgam underneath. There were a couple of tiny black

spots which may or may not have had amalgam in them.

My dentist also believes gold crowns become

contaminated with mercury in a mouth with amalgam

fillings. When I had trouble with chelation I couldn't

be sure if it was because of stuff under the crowns,

so I felt I had to have it removed.

Good luck,

Dave

I just went to the dentist today and had a crown removed, I will write about

what I learned what I have more time, but they told me the black spots were from

decay, its common to have decay in the areas of the margins (where the crown

attaches) on old crowns.

PS.. by the way, mine had a ton of merc under that crown, more on that later.
