> What was the results from the last posts on the crowns? 

The general recommendation is to put no metal in your mouth.

So the crown should be metal-free (interior & exterior), and

the materials used to bond to the tooth should be metal-free.

Sometimes a porcelain crown is only porcelain on the outside,

with metal on the inside (for example, nickel). Also, I had

a porcelain crown that the dentist used gold to bond it to

the tooth.

I think a " normal " / typical dentist may not even be aware

of the metal content of the materials they use. You may

have better luck with a " holistic " or " mercury-free "

dentist.

Loni, if you are in Arizona, I see that there are a few

such dentists in Tuscon and sdale:

Loni,

The doctor I have been seeing doesn't recommend root canals,I know I have had

mine for 30 years and didn't have any problems with it, until I became

sensitive. The doctor who took it out checked to see what materials I am

sensitive to. It would be good to go to a biological dentist. Many people are

going to Mexico, and actually my dentist didn't screw up like I thought, I had

it wrong, but it is an emotionally upsetting thing to go through.

Good luck,

Maureen

When the dentists says he's never had a problem with porcelain crowns he's

referring to how they last. If somoeone got symptoms from a blocked meridian,

neither the patient nor the dentist were ever aware of it.

The dentist who put in my titanium pins, and ceramic crowns with metallic

colorant, said that not one person besides me had ever had any problem. I doubt

that. I suppose that no one else ever put 2 + 2 together.

The adhesives can be problematic in the same way.

Does anyone near you do eleectrodermal testing, so you can test for the

materials beforehand?

My suggestion would be to have Doug Cook recommend a dentist who works the way

he does, who lives near you.

Loni,

I have had 2 recent crowns done. 2 Lava Crowns, which are zirconium, but the

dentist botched them. I had very little tooth left and even though he is a

holistic dentist he preferred to use Gold fused to porcelain because this was a

large molar and the Gold base is stronger. The Gold part was 88% Gold with no

nickel or palladium which is rare. If I had a choice I would go with metal free

though.

If this is a Molar there is an all zirconium crown called Bruxzir which is very

strong but the dentist has to know how to use it. I also had a Clifford

Reactivity test done to see which materials I was allergic to, including cements

and bonding material. A holistic dentist would be able to hook you up with that.

In the meantime if you are in pain I recommend oil pulling. Google it-basically

you take one tablespoon of organic sesame oil and swich it around your mouth for

15 minutes then spit it out. It was amazing how much it helped my pain and my

teeth felt more solid afterwards. This is done in the AM before eating or

drinking anything.

Also, a good mouthwash for pain is VitaMyr. I get it at whole foods, it's pricy

but very good-actually the only one I could tolerate while the temp crown (from

the incompetent dentist) was on my tooth.

Thanks Marc, Steve, &   Maureen!  Trying to use my dentist on my insurance plan

because the expense is just too much to go to a holistic dentist. I need several

crowns & a bridge. It's really overwhelming.

 

I did have the reactivity test so I'll look at it. I think this dentist is

willing to work with me as much as he can  but the office rep said they are not

set up to work with sensitive people like me.

 

I need to get 2 of them done asap so to avoid a root canal. I will doing

research starting tomorrow. 

 

Intersting that the porcelain has some metal in it. That's not good. Hmmmm..

Well, I'm no expert in porcelain -- it could be that " porcelain " is

a somewhat generic term, and that some have metal inside, and some

do not (?)

Porcelain can have some aluminum in it but usually an all porcelain crown has no

metal. A PFM crown is porcelain fused to metal, which is what I got (porcelain

fused to mainly gold). A Lava Crown is porcelain fused to zirconia

I had the Clifford Reactivity Test done & checked all the materials out & looks

ok for me but I am still weary of it. I need many crowns so this is pretty

stressful deal. I will try it & see how it goes I guess.
