Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi all, Went to the dentist this afternoon expecting to have a gold filling.I've been waiting weeks to have it done,as she put what she said was a temporary filling in due to what she said could have been a crack in my tooth.She originally gave me an injection in the gum which I reacted to and thought I was going to die! She said she uses adrenalin in her injections and wouldnt use it on me again.I told her today that I now have adrenal fatigue and she was quite rude by saying that I should have told her before,even though I told her I've only known a week! The original plan was for me to have gold as I did before and now she is refusing and saying she wont put gold in my tooth.She then told me the filling she put in temporarily is a permanent filling and she wants me to keep that in,as she doesnt want me to react again by drilling my tooth,but would put in a porcelain filling,which requires drilling!! The filling,which was temporary but has now become permanent,is called 'Glass Ionomer Cement',which she said has fluoride in it! I said that fluoride is an antagonist to someone with hypo and then the feathers started to fly! This could be a long post,but I'll save you the pain.I am going to make a complaint to the practice manager,although I dont think it will make a blind bit of difference,as she was rude,condacending,arrogant and quite discriminative! I would like to know what this 'Glass Ionomer Cement' is if anyone could enlighten me and whether I should find another dentist to remove it and put gold in,in its place. I had all my amalgams removed as they are poison,to which she said its unproved and we ingest more mercury in the fish we eat than in our fillings,to which I replied that unlike fish,we have mercury in our mouths 24/7.She hated the fact that I knew more about thyroid disease than she did and became quite offensive,to which I then walked out.I'm having a really crappy day,what with the dentist and received a letter this morning from a solicitor saying they are going to take proceedings within the next few days to reposses my house! Thats really going to help my adrenals and my hypo! Best wishes Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
