Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi, I had an amalgam removed a couple of weeks ago by an IAOMT mercury-free dentist. When I got home I noticed there is still a gray line on my molar where the new filling meets the tooth. Is this a dental tattoo? Is it safe to chelate w/that or should I go back and have the dentist scrape/remove that, as well? Any advice is greatly appreciated Blessings, ~Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi Robin, Having an amalgam for a long time can sometimes discolor the gum. I am not sure if this is what you are seeing? I just wanted to remind you, though, that it is not safe to chelate until at least three months after amalgam removal. - > > Hi, > I had an amalgam removed a couple of weeks ago by an IAOMT mercury-free dentist.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I noticed the same thing after my last amalgam was removed (July 2008). In fact, I asked the dentist to provide me a mirror so I could take a look and made sure the amalgam was all gone. That's when I saw the cavity that was all black. My dentist told me that it's the stain caused by the metal filling sitting there for years. He didn't need to grind any further to remove the stain. ________________________________ From: homeschool3gfcf <rbrundbaken@...> Sent: Fri, February 26, 2010 11:42:54 AM Subject: [ ] Mercury amalgam ~ dental tattoo  Hi, I had an amalgam removed a couple of weeks ago by an IAOMT mercury-free dentist.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I have the same thing. I was told that it was a stain, which is quite common after removal of amalgams. In my case, I actually see a spot on my tooth so I had a local dentist look at it and he said that there was no amalgam left, that it was a stain. Did you discuss this with the dentist? What was his opinion? If you're unsure about the nature of the stain, you can take an x-ray. Amalgam would come out as bright white and composite apparently is lighter. It's safe to chelate with a stain. > > Hi, > I had an amalgam removed a couple of weeks ago by an IAOMT mercury-free dentist.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 so does everyone agree that it's okay to chelate if you have stains on your teeth from the amalgam? > > > > > > Hi, > > > I had an amalgam removed a couple of weeks ago by an IAOMT > > mercury-free dentist.
