Dentist suggests stainless steel cap and 1 amalgam

[Guest guest]

For our almost 5 year old who has 2 cavities.

We've been chelating with the AC method for a little over a year.

The decay is in between the 2 teeth. She says one is very hard to get to and to

reduce any sort of trauma, she wants to do a stainless steel cap until the

permanent tooth comes in. The tooth next to it has surface decay and can be

filled.

I asked for the ingredient sheet for the fillings - the amalgams have BPA (oh

joy). The stainless steel is 100% steel.

So...I thought about just having her pull them, but I recognize that that will

cause the permanent teeth to come in crookedly and create other problems. So I

understand that they should probably stay there.

My first concern was about the BPA -- I thought maybe tell the dentist to just

cap them both.

Then I was wondering what the effect (if any) chelation will have on my daughter

having stainless steel in her mouth (even if it is 100% steel).

Any thoughts?
