Re: Cavity...help....Safe fillings???

[Guest guest]

Laurie,

I haven't dealt with any cavities for my kids yet but I've read that

there is a treatment using ozone that avoids fillings altogether. I

don't know more anymore than that, but maybe others can give you more

info. Otherwise try googling keywords ozone, cavities, etc to see what

comes up.

I'll send you more info later if I can find some more information

about this.

HTH,

I have lots of fillings (and I'm old enough that the ones I have

also have to be replaced from time to time as they wear out.)

I don't know that there is anything that is TOTALLY safe.

I have them use the white filling material -- maybe called

composite, although I'm not certain about that.

Call and ASK THEM about materials. This is a normal question,

they should be able to answer it.

My dental chart says " no amalgam " on it too -- I try to always

remind them (EACH time), and I have asked them to ALSO write this

in my chart.

This is with a " regular " dentist.

I know a little about it. I'm not sure if I'd really use this

method myself. The device (called a healozone) -- humm, well

I was going to say it is not approved for use yet in the US,

but ya'know, I haven't been following that for a couple of years

so I'm not sure any more. There are a couple US dentists that

have one, and also a few in Canada (again, my infor is dated,

as well as possibly incomplete). More of these devices are

in use in the UK (if I'm remembering right....)

Laurie, is it a baby tooth or permanent? We didn't want a composite

filling for our dd (plastics), so we decided to go with a zinc

phosphate cement. This was recommended to us by a holistic dentist

and it seemed the lesser toxic option.
