Re: Mercury fillings---another roadblock

[Guest guest]

I just posted about my experience with pupalgia (it was addressed to

SS - LMK if you can't find it). It sounds like your mercury-free dentist

isn't a true one...

I just go to a regular dentist (cost issues). I did call and have a

consultation with him in regards to my concern, and although our opinions

varied, he was willing to incorporate as much protocol as possible in

removing my amalgams. It does mean that they would have to drill the real

tooth more, so chances of pain after replacement increases. If his filling

was small to begin with, it might not be bad. There are homeopathic remedies

and supplements to help with healing the nerve faster.

So I would interview some ped dentists to see which one is willing to remove

it safely for him - print out the protocol and show it to them. I'm not sure

what kind of problems he has, but vitamin C and selenium might be all he

needs before and after the procedure. If you ask a regular dentist who

doesn't think amalgams don't cause problems, they will explain why by

telling you the proper way of safely installing amalgams so that no vapors

escape, so you might feel a bit better about it. I still wouldn't take my

chances though, especially in a young person.

Now only if we knew how to determine if mercury is being released from

amalgams... I'll have to watch the smoking tooth video again to see what

they used.

I have been down this road already. I had to go to three dentist

before I found one that would remove my daughters pencil tip size

amalgam.

I found a guy who does not use amalgam in his practice at all.

HOnestly, ped dentists aren't what they are cracked up too be. They

just give out better prizes but their practice is no better than a

regular dentist. You want to find a holistic dentist or in the least a

mercury free practice that will do the removal because you request it

and will do it with the protocol.

Removal is not to be taken lightly in anyone. Cost is not always the

best factor either, sometimes you may have to pay more for someone

better. I note that each time my daughter lost an amalgam, (we had

those baby teeth pulled one by one) she got sickly for a few days

after. So following a removal, mercury is moving.

Also not all mercury free dentist are any good. I had one who claimed

to have had this ultra clean dental practice, didn't use any mercury.

but he had it in his own teeth and refused to remove my daughter,

saying it could damage her tooth. Which I knew was bs. The filling was

very small.

I have found the stuff noted at that website to be scare tactics

dentist hand out as reasons not to do removals. If it's a baby tooth,

he will lose it and future sensitivity issues from removal should not

be a factor. This guy is trying to scare you into leaving the filling

in him. That would be five more years of daily, 24 hour chronic

exposure to mercury vapor leaking into his brain.

I'd find someone else to remove it.

There's a device called an amalgameter or a Jerome meter which measures the

mercury being released. The dentist who replaced mine used one before each

appointment to check the readings of each quadrant to determine which to remove

next.

Some dentists are mercury-free only because of the profit possibilities not

because they believe that other materials are safer than mercury amalgam.

I too had the amalgameter measures done before to see how much

mercury. The dentist was astonished. She had not seen levels that high

before.

5-6 years of mercury leakage seems very much worth removing.

Post-replacement pain depends a LOT on the size of the filling, whcih

you don't mention. The closer to the nerve, the more chance it will

be irritated when drilled out.

Other options: Versed (conscious sedation) and extraction, since it's

a baby tooth. And you won't have to deal with a mercury-free dentist,

who are becoming prima-donnas, in my experience.
