Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Lorilyn, not all of them contain fluoride, as all of the polishing pastes do not either. Composites are the better choice IMHO, but like I said, anything synthetic we put into our bodies will have some side effects or contraindications. And, anything IN EXCESSIVE amounts can cause unwanted problems. Your sister's DDS hopefully will keep an open mind to this, as my employer is opening his mind as of now.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Fluoride is a definite poison and a neuro toxin. C. W. [ ] composite fillings My sister, after hearing me carry on about mercury and amalgams, brought the subject up with her dentist. (By the way, I am supposed to collect convincing info for her supposedly-open-minded dentist.) Her dentist said that composites have fluoride in them. Perhaps this is what some people are concerned about? I know that fluoride is controversial, with some insisting it is great and some saying it is a poison. Personally, I had the last of my amalgams removed 1 1/2 years ago and replaced with composite. My other composite fillings are 7 years old. The only problems I have had, are the annoying adjustments that need to be made (free of charge, but trooping back in to the dentist a few times is annoying) and the fact that one space between my teeth is still large enough to catch meat anytime I eat it. Overall, I wish everyone in my family had composite fillings. Better yet, I wish they existed thirty years ago... Lorilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorilyn, I'd suggest the book MERCURY FREE: the wisdom behind the global consumer movement to ban " silver " dental fillings, by Dr. E. Hardy (he is a dentist). Actually this may not be techie enough for a dentist? Anyway, it is my favorite so far--- lots of info on the history of amalgam and how we all got into this mess, which maybe he would find interesting. Also Andy's book and/or Huggins' book " Its All in Your Head " . Why reinvent the wheel ... this stuff is already written. I buy books used and do pretty well on prices that way.
