Yikes....that wouldn't leave much to clean! I didn't know that. He'll think I'm

nuts.

removing fillings and was thinking only of chelation when I wrote. There's so

much to learn on this list!

living room rug for hours. And of course, it broke apart and ended up deep in

the carpet.

I have any future fillings made of different material. I have a cleaning

scheduled for next week so I'll ask the dentist about it.

replaced with non-metals then chelation would make sense. Having more than one

kind of metal in the mouth causes exponentially more problems than having just

one. Also beware that if it ever becomes necessary to get dentures, the pink

part contains mercury and/or cadmium (another toxic metal).

having the fillings removed, but $10,000 was just a little steep for me.
