Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Hello, strivers for health. I was on this list about a year ago and learned so much. I quit for a while because the reading got to be too much. I joined again because I have a question for you all. My husband had 4 mercury fillings put in in 1997. Immediately after getting them he began grinding his teeth at night. That lasted for about 2 months. Then he started getting mouth ulcers. We thought all this was from stress at work. We moved to the country and were off flouridated water for 4 years. The mouth ulcers became infrequent. During the last year and a half, he noticed his gums receding. We kept thinking that our WAP diet would fix that problem. 6 months ago, we moved back to the city. Back to flouridated water. The ulcers returned. His gums began receding at a fast and furious rate. Finally we thought to do a search to see if the mercury fillings and receding gums were related. Bingo. It's the only explanation we can find for his 29 year old gums to be receding so. We plan to get off the flouridated drinking water immediately which should help a little. We're also leaning toward getting his fillings removed and replaced. Do any of you have experience with this? I've read that the symptoms of mercury toxicity can increase for a while after fillings are removed. Have any of you experienced this? Did you eventually get better? Any thoughts or recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks, Bethany ____________________________________________________________ Free 20MB Web Site Hosting and Personalized E-mail Service!
