Guest guest Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I think they leak forever, in fact they get worse as they get old.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yesterday had 3 of my 5 remaining teeth that still have mercury fillings changed to white. Anyway it will only cost me 175 yesterday and 160 more as insurance won't pay attention to fillings. I had assumed that doing this would cost the full price but when I checked with dentist he said it would not....The insurance company does scrutinize crowns and partials but I didn't need to do that. Dental insurance will not pay for the white stuff except on front teeth as mercury costs less initially. sad. Also noticed that I don't taste the lugols on the side that doesn't have mercury now. Also had 5 small cavities on gum line in 2005, but in 6 months they had remineralized and have never needed any fillings.... I use xylitol, baking soda and fine celtic salt to brush with.My grandfather used the last 2 for 50 years and had his teeth at 97. Xylitol kills bacteria that causes cavities. Baking soda helps bind the minerals from the salt to the teeth from the articles that I read in 2005. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
