Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 You have to be very careful about removing amalgam fillings as the drilling process can poison you even further through inhaling of mercury loaded vapors. You must make sure it is done by someone who has the right equipment and experience. The fillings cannot just be drilled out and replaced by any ordinary dentist. There is an association of dentist who are work to these methods. Try to look them up on the net and see if there is one near to you. I have had mine removed and had it done with my face in an oversized Hoover, the rest and dentist team completely covered up. Great fun (not!)

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 I had a mouthful of amalgam fillings, some so old that they needed to be replaced but since my teeth seemed to get worse each time I saw my dentist, we decided it was time to remove all of them and I know have a full implant on the bottom and temporary top waiting for 2002 to get my permanent denture for the top. I never noticed any positive or negative results (other than the normal pain and discomfort) when I had my bottom teeth or top teeth removed, JMHO.
