Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 my dentist won't remove the amalgams unless there is a problem with the tooth - (or unless I really demanded it) - he said at this point, they aren't hurting anything. He doesn't put them in though. I'm getting down there with them - from teeth cracking. thinking here though - I had a tooth break off, and he drilled it out - just got the onlay yesterday. I wonder if that is part of why I felt so horrible - although, it wasn't immediately after he drilled it out. I think they all have different opinions on this - and nothing is really for certain about them. I used to play with the mercury at the dentists office when I was a child! and he gave me a little bottle of it to take home. it was a wonderful toy...I would roll it around on my hand for an hour at a time.....thought it was neat stuff back then. Cris Mercury Hi nne and EveryOne, It is my understanding that mercury blocks the receptors for thyroid hormone at the cellular level. Therefore if mercury suddenly increased in your cells from the removing of amalgam process it could block thyroid hormone reception and thus make any hypothyroid symptoms worse. I have some amalgams left and I am wondering if it is worth it to have them removed and then try to detox or better to leave them in place, they are old ( over 30 years) and I have read that most of the mercury is already leached from them into my body. However you can't really detox the mercury out while you have the amalgams. I sure would like to get the mercury out of my body altogether. Does anyone know what is the best test for mercury levels in the body at the cellular level? Sorry, I don't know about magnesium and mercury and haven't time right now to look it up.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Cris, Check out this link and you will see the mercury vapor coming off of an amalgam filling. http://www.iaomt.org/merc_release.swf It is nasty stuff. When you got it drilled out did you have a rubber dam an alternate air source for yourself? Even with that you probably were exposed to a lot of Mercury vapors. Don't have any more done unless you explore all the proper procedures. It can defiantly make you ill, and difficult to DX...worse that getting a hypothyroid DX. I can point you to some sites if you want. nne _____ From: cris Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 6:19 PM To: NaturalThyroidHormones Subject: Re: Mercury my dentist won't remove the amalgams unless there is a problem with the tooth - (or unless I really demanded it) - he said at this point, they aren't hurting anything.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I would love to know this myself. I still have a mouth full of mercury fillings in the back, with no cavities. These are old fillings.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Janet and all, I will get a collection of sites together, but you could start with Marie Flowers site. She is on another group I am on, and her story reminds me of the ordeal Gail went through. The one with the letter to Oprah everyone has been reading. http://www.mercurypoisoned.com/ she has put together many links to sites that are interesting, and full of information ..A good place to start. nne _____ From: whitecap89 Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 6:51 PM To: NaturalThyroidHormones Subject: Re: Mercury Geez, nne......

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 There isn't anything wrong with gold onlays, is there? I have a few white fillings and haven't had any problems. However, I don't think they do well in large areas - I have had to have most of my molars capped because the fillings were so large - the one I just had replace, the one corner of the tooth broke away from the filling - I got an onlay on it. The one that is next, the filling is 'fine' but the tooth is cracked. So that will be a crown. That then leaves me with - 2 larger and one small amalgam on the bottom, and I think 2 on the top.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 yep, I just paid $700.00 for an onlay where I live too!! well - the tooth broke, so insurance should pay, even though their initial reaction was to refuse it.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 mine are all tiny except one. Two are so small that they said they are surprised I needed Novocain to drill them out.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 I'm allergic to gold, so it would make a huge difference for me. Actually we never determined whether it might be the nickel that's mixed with the gold or the gold itself. All I know is that I can't wear gold rings and gold jewelry on my skin AND I had one gold cap on a molar for a yr that kept my mouth so irritated. Then, when it popped off, no more problems with THAT. Re: Mercury There isn't anything wrong with gold onlays, is there? I have a few white fillings and haven't had any problems. However, I don't think they do well in large areas - I have had to have most of my molars capped because the fillings were so large - the one I just had replace, the one corner of the tooth broke away from the filling - I got an onlay on it. The one that is next, the filling is 'fine' but the tooth is cracked. So that will be a crown. That then leaves me with - 2 larger and one small amalgam on the bottom, and I think 2 on the top.
