Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 wow, I never thought about this. Guess I'll be living with the amalgam until Liam weans!!! My dentist knew all the answers when I asked him hwo he removes them, but he doesn't recommend taking them out 1. all at once or 2. until they need to be replaced anyway ....(it will start as soon as Liam weans, I know 2 need to be replaced now and the rest are just as old and will soon follow! in IL (missed you guiys last month!)

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 If you Are going to continue nursing (which I would too ;-), I'd pump and freeze as much milk as possible before you do the removal of the filling. Then do the " pump & dump " routine after the removal & while your body is detoxing, to keep your body used to needing to make milk. Jan G.
