Dental Crowns

[Guest guest]

Are metal crowns a source of metal contamination? Do they need to be

removed prior to chelation?

It's highly possible that I have merc tox based upon a hair analysis

test. I've read enough in the egroup to know that I need to have my

amalgum fillings replaced (of which I have three huge fillings) before

I do anything else. The question that I have is related to my caps.

I have five caps in my mouth. Two silver and three gold. Will these

be a problem (continued source of metal contamination) or are they

O.K. to leave in?

I have just had my 8th root canal(old deep fillings from childhood).

This time when they filled the tooth before crowning, I asked for

composite filling instead of amalgam. Is there anything I can ask

for in making the crown without mercury? I really do have to have a

crown on it.

I have a crown that I got while seeing a non-mercury dentist.

Mine is gold--- he gave me a choice of gold and ?porcelain?

or something. I chose gold as it is a back molar and he

said this would last better with the pressure. He also

said that gold is always mixed with other material so it

matters how the gold mixture is made. Mine is " high

noble " (I think that is what it was called) and, he thought

this was " good " as gold mixtures go. I also got the

material muscle tested before the crown was made.

I think you may also need to ask about the " post " or

materials in addition to the crown. I didn't ask a lot

of questions, since I trusted the dentist to keep any

mercury out of the picture.

Carol,

The crown itself shouldn't contain mercury. Generally their stainless steel for

kids, gold or ceramic for adults, as far as I know.

My last crowns have been made from zirconium oxide.
