Jada, Question on composites, please...

[Guest guest]

Jada,

In a thread from earlier this summer regarding safer dental composites,

you wrote,

" I chose one of her products that did not contain aluminum, fluoride or

Bisphenol A. It is an acrylate though. But the least toxic of the

bunch... "

Would you mind telling me the name of the composite you ended up

choosing? I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the " best " (least

harmful, really) composite for my son, but information is difficult to

come by.

Many thanks,

Daphne

Just bumping this up as I'd also like to know this. How did you pick?

Did you find the composite first then the dentist? Or did the dentist

work with the safest composite?

I asked my dentist to order either Holistore from Den-Mat (800) 433-

6628 ext. 6205 (http://www.denmat.com/restoratives/geristore/msds/)

or Unshaded Dicor from Dentsply (800) 532-2855. He was able to get

Holistore (no BPA, flouride, or aluminum) and we used it in

July ...so far, so good!

I'm bumping this up again hoping to find answers. I've called a couple

of dentists and they've told me they use Kerry resins, which seem to

contain aluminum from what I see from internet sources.

What's the safest composite? What composites should I avoid if

planning to chelate? Where is this information available?

thanks,

I wanted to update this thread with some information. I emailed Den-

Mat, the maker of Holistore composite (also called Holistic

Geristore) and specifically asked if Holistore contained BPA,

aluminum, or fluoride. I've pasted, below, their response:

" Holistore is fluoride and aluminum oxide free.

Holistore does contain BPA, bisphenol-a-dimethacrylate.

All of our restorative materials contain BPA.
