Re: Re: Off Topic: MSers & Mercury Fillings

They say that vitamin D on the day of treatment will reduce the

effectiveness of anaesthesia, but I did not take a break from the several

grams a day I had been taking, and did not experience any difficulty with

pain.

This is a very serious issue, the removal of amalgam fillings. Fraught with

hazard, controversial, and should be researched well before going for it...

I believe we need to get rid of them, but very very carefully, with a

dentist who is aware of the dangers. And while having mine removed doesn't

seem to have helped my health any it at least has removed one source of

toxicity.

Unlike the LDN, which seems so very safe, removal of amalgam fillings can be

a very big hazard. I would not want to discourage anyone from doing so, but

will again strongly suggest tons of research first.

My local dentist refused to replace my mercury amalgams and printed up the ADA's position statement explaining why this wasn't necessary. She had to do this to cover herself. I had already made up MY mind to have them removed, so I found a holistic dentist trained in the proper procedure in order to do this the correct way. Why would anyone want mercury, one of the most toxic elements on the face of the earth, just a couple of inches away from their brain??? My brain fog went away quite rapidly after having these removed. My childhood dentist who put the mercury in my mouth, in his later years quit putting the mercury amalgams in just to be on the safe side! I don't regret having mine removed, and in the future will only use composite fillings. I have had good luck with them and haven't had to replace them due to not lasting well.

To all of you that are interested I have 12 years of dental experience behind me and from all I have learned there is no advantage to using the white fillings compared to the amalgam fillings.

Remember each time you replace a filling you have to remove more tooth structure and the white fillings do not last as long as the amalgam ones and you have to replace them more often.

Further more the amount of mercury is so small and is more of a threat to the dentist and the assistant making and placing the filling then it is to you.

The mercury does not continue to leek out after it is placed this only happens if the filling is chipped or cracks down the road to expose new amalgam.....

I have MS and I also have silver fillings...

The dentist and I have discussed this and I was defenatley at a higher risk when I was making up the filling
