Hi ,

My teeth hurt quite a bit after the replacements I had done. A couple

of them hurt for a fairly long time--- like weeks (but not months).

In particular, I remember pressure-sensitivity. I couldn't eat

nuts on one side of my mouth -- the crunching hurt.

I am generally pretty sensitive, and dental work has always been a

big deal to me. I'm not sure if these replacements were " any worse "

than other dental work I've had or not. At the time I was also

comparing notes with a couple other people, and was hearing

variations on the theme. So, you aren't alone.

I had some " energy work " done which really helped a lot. (Something

like body work, but energetic rather than physical method). I don't

know that this is a general recommendation--- as you would have to

know someone who you trust to do the work. Which I happened to.

If you can afford th money, you might get some body work done, or

sit in a jacuzzi, or do whatever you can to try to promote relaxation

and healing. And can you reschedule the next appt out a couple of

more weeks (or longer)?

I'd not want to get 7 done at once--- I thought 3 was too many to

do at once (the dentist thought that was okay--- I found it was

a bit too long at once to sit and have my mouth drilled etc)

Moria

p.s. Don't worry about the EFA's! Write about it some other month.

Hi Moria,

Thank God..

I have been worried half to death here...not wanting to open my mouth as it

were and express my fears. I thought it was for sure bad news. I never heard

any of my friends complain at all after amalgam replacement.

My dentist wanted to remove all 13 fillings within 2 weeks. I wouldnt mind

getting it all over quickly so that I can get on with the detox.

Many thanks for your help, Moria. You really are a GEM!

Network Blitz,

When I had my 16 amalgams removed (4 at a time) I was in severe pain for months.

It probably wasn't wise to have so many removed at once, but it was a 3 1/2 hr.

drive . It was probably 4-5 months before I felt comfortable eating again. I did

have some Large amalgams, and I have large teeth anyway! Patti

Hi Patti,

I am sorry about your pain as I know exactly what you mean. Funnily enough

after Moria wrote back with her reassuring words the pain seems to be going.

Hows that for spiritual healing. And now maybe your post may get rid of the

residual pain!!

In any case I could do with losing a few kilos so maybe it will be a

blessing in disguise.

Are you referring to me as Network Blitz.....?

Anyway glad to hear some positive news about amalgam removal. My mouth was

burning a bit and I was seriously beginning to have second thoughts about

the removal procedure.

Many thanks for your positive input.

Regards,

JULIE,

I have been replacing my amalgams for composite over the last 3

years.

Usually when I go to the dentist he 'says' that 2 need to be replaced

and then my insurance covers 60% of what it would cost to replace

them

with amalgam. Anyway, I have 2 amalgams left and my children have

only

composite. Funny enough I did this just for vanity and because I

have

a history of decay around amalgams and NOT composite fillings. The

last 2 I had replaced were BIG and in molars. The dentist would have

preferred to crown them. I said TRY composite and let me tell you

they

were uncomfortable for weeks. I believe the bigger they are, (the

composite fillings) the more sensitive to cold, pressure, etc... BUT,

it is gone now and I am glad I did it. Hope this gives you hope for

future improvement. Good luck and God's blessings, Maddie

Yes. Go back to the dentist and have him see if you need a bite

adjustment. This is common, great pain results if your teeth don't

mesh properly, and it is promptly relieved by the dentist shaving off

a tiny sliver of filling material here and there until everything

matches up right.

-- I had my fillings replaced with the composit ones and the dentist

said they are hard to see when filing them down and sometimes the

filling is too " high " and so your bite is off and so your teeth are

hitting different areas and causing pain. Mine had to put clear tape

like strips between my molars and pull them out to look for high spots

and grind them down. It took a couple of trips before we got it right

and it was painful before it was fixed. Good luck. Patti

Hello :

I've just completed removing the amalgam from my teeth (4 fillings and

five crowns). I notice a couple of things. The first is that the

composite fillings do not seem to be as good at insulating against cold

or pressure. In that my teeth are more sensitive to hard or pinpoint

pressure (like crunching a nut or hard seed or candy).

I've also had perticular trouble with tooth that is crowned. After

getting the bite correct, which took two tries, I'm still more sensitive

to cold and pressure on this one tooth. It is taking significantly

longer to not be noticable. It has been four months now and it does

continue to become less sensitive but it is still more sensitive than any

of the others. I'm hoping that over time it will feel like a normal

tooth again.

I've all the amalgam gone now and am just waiting to put the permanent

crowns on the three remaining teeth. They feel pretty good at this

point.

In Christ's love and mine..Jen : )
