Guest guest Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Actually, Cait - the mercury and amalgam filling issue has proved baseless.Tina .. I'm so sorry you've been feeling so poorly lately . Hopefully you'll be right and feel good when next week and dr's visit comes up. About the teeth, please be careful and make sure whatever dentist you get is aware of the mercury connection with ms. I've always had what they called 'soft teeth' that didn't have enough enamel. They would literally 'flake' so the last year I was with Spencer and had the coverage, I decided to get mine out. And I so regret it now. I had no idea of the ms, the mercury bit, or the problems I'd have with falsies! I have to use so much poligrip stuff and it still doesn't hold them especially the bottoms. All I can do is try to save up enough to have a few permanent teeth screwed in and then a bridge. So don't be so sure you'll be able to eat all the good stuff . On the other hand, if they're in bad shape, as in decay, maybe you're right to do it because it can affect your heart ... hugs, Cait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
