Hello,

You can chelate with the caps as long as there isn't amalgam fillings under the

caps. (And, of course, no amalgam fillings on the other teeth.)

My hubby had three caps. We found a mercury-free dentist who worked very hard at

saving the caps when he opened them up. One of the three had amalgam inside.

One also broke and had to be completely replaced, but the others were just glued

back shut.

My son has stainless steel caps on his teeth also.We do chelation with them.

As long as they are just caps or crowns as they call them you are ok to start

chelation

Our 5 yo has steel caps. I made doubly sure when he had them put on that there

was to be no amalgam under those caps. Had to repeat it a few times -- twice

the dental office staff and hospital had incorrectly written amalgam on his

paperwork.

Double check with your dentist that there is no amalgam whatsoever under your

son's caps before you start chelating.

The only concern I had after the steel caps were in was nickel and chromium from

the steel. Since we haven't started chelation yet, I'm reading up on the

chelation of nickel and chromium, along with amalgam. The caps will be in his

mouth for he next 2-4 years depending on how fast his perms come in and what

kind of shape they're in.

We're still planning on chelating. For us, we can't ignore that there have been

positive results and health benefits from chelation despite the stainless steel

being present.

Once our son outgrows the caps, we're going to test again at that point to see

if there are any more possible metal problems, but that won't be for a number of

years since these are his baby teeth.

Since your son is older and these are his perm teeth, you may consider doing a

hair test once every year or two to see if nickel is a concern, and if doing

that will give you peace of mind. I lean toward doubting that nickel or

chromium will be an issue, but you would know best for your situation. Testing

gets so expensive...

If you didn't know, coupon code " AUT " on DDI's website will give you a discount

for hair element tests. $19 off, I believe. I'm not affiliated with them.

Oops, Amina. I'm on another 'board and mistakenly thought you were another

parent I was writing to who had an older son with the same concerns about dental

work and steel caps.

My opinions are still the same though...too many benefits with chelation to

ignore.
