Re: Dental caps

[Guest guest]

Bob,

WOW, you've got dental problems too. I just had to have that bridge drilled off

last summer and that changed my life. I had a bridge over the 4 bottom front

teeth. The two middle teeth had been damaged and were dead and had been root

canaled and had metal pins in them. They drilled off two perfect teeth on on

either side and put a 4 tooth bridge piece on. There is no question I was

allergic to the materials the bridge was made of. My mouth was always sore and

so dry and my tongue cracked. Those bridges usually have some kind of metal

under that porcelain. The dentist that drilled it off wasn't sure what it was

made of, but agreed, my mouth was trying to reject it. The amazing part was when

they drilled it off, and I had him take out the one dead tooth with a metal pin

and short root and at the base of that root of that tooth was a leaking mercury

filling that had been put there when I was about 10 yrs old or so!!! So I think

that was really the beginning of the end of my immune function. My full blown

hit the wall cfs came at age 28/29 but up until then I had many bouts of

tonsillitis and strep throats and then mono and again another mono'like illness

before cfs hit and never left. By then my tonsils were so full of pus they were

white and bubbly and never went down and had to come out, what a mess that was.

But anyway, the dentist just this summer when he pulled that leaky merc filling

out of my jaw was totally stunned and said it was amazing what the human body

could survive. (I'm thinking he'd have had to walk in my shoes for a couple

decades to know how it felt not to really 'be alive'. )

Bob, do you remember if they did root canals on any of those teeth under your

bridge? The bridge turned out to be a major factor in my health issue, I think

I was so allergic to the metals under it, and it never did fit right and gave my

jaw bad TMJ, etc.

Can someone tell me what would have been done to the front teeth

which were ground down back in 1975? Do they make them dead or what?

I had my first cavitity in 1999 so if I have mercury, it came from

another source. I have forgotten what all has been done to the front

four teeth. It looks like the outside teeth on both sides are dental

implants and a bridge built connecting to those two implants.

BTW,especially to Marcia, I am feeling better now that I am over the

pneumonia. I found that sleeping on the living room floor, I get less

mold because I can wake up at 8 am and ready to get up whereas when I

sleep in my bed, I wake up at 8 but I feel like I have been drugged.

I usually got up at noon!! Speaking of inducing FEVER, when I had

the pneumonia, that was my first illness or fever I can remember

since I became ill in '75?? I also show a TV show with a woman in a

wheel-chair as the host. She said that the only thing that has ever

helped her was upper cervical treatment. Only about 20 chiropractors

in the state of Oklahoma has been trained for this. It deals with the

position of the skull and the first four discs. If the skull is nt

sitting perfectly straight or those disc not in line, the brain stem

will be pinched and cause trouble. I went to a specialist in the area

and my skull was five degrees off center and disc #1 & 2 were to the

left and the spine is curving starting at disc #4. He used

a " thumper " to put #1 & #2 back in line. That was several weeks ago

and I was told to expect some type of healing. I have been at the

mobile home now for five weeks and in the past I would be having bad

migraines and brain swelling with three weeks and have to leave. I do

plan on buying a travel trailer and renting or selling this place. I

was told it is okay for others to live here as I have removed the

mold and the people are not sensitive to mold.

So Marcia, like you said in your post before Christmas, maybe more of

us old-timers are finding something to make us feel like getting out

of bed!! Knock on wood.

As a dental lab tech, I got to see the paradigm shift when dentists

first started seeing patients carrying Clifford Alloy Biocompatibilty

test results and complaining of metal toxicity/cavitational

osteonecrosis lesions.

The dentists were just as insane as normal doctors.

They called their patients crazy and denied the existence of

cavitations - sometimes even after they had witnessed the existence of

these anomalies for themselves. They would go into this strange

denial and swear that whatever they had seen was nothing more than a

fluke that they would likely never see again.

Until the next time.

And the next.

And the next.

And each time saying " No. Impossible. I didn't see that! "

I can remember what they did. I was 28 and now 58. Maybe I should have

everything removed and see what is under. If I did, it may be hard to

have four good teeth back in fronth.

> Dana or others,

>>seems that the tooth is not able to tolerate this filling. He might loose the

filling. We are now faced with the decision to cap it or pull it and put in a

spacer when the six year molar comes out (metal also).

Spacers are generally okay. Ask what metals it contains.

> We are going to start chelation and was wondering what you all recommend in

terms of a cap. Do we do caps if we are chelating?

Depends on what are the ingredients. The most common problem with caps, is that

there can be amalgam underneath the cap.

> Dana,

> What metals would be ok?

I have read that stainless steel is fine.

>>I have read that spacers have aluminum. Isn't that bad?

I don't think aluminum is a good idea.

>>My thing is that I do not want him to suffer during chelation. We will be

starting the Cutler protocol this weekend. He has a composite filling right now

but we will have to address this within the month because he may be losing it

very soon due to the break in the tooth.

Can you have it pulled and not put in the spacer? Is this a primary or

permanent tooth?
