Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 LOL tell me about it!!! oh my!! I don't have it now - but when he 1st put that gold onlay in my mouth to test it, it zapped me the entire way to my toes!!!!! he told me it was an electric current from the gold. didn't happen again. and it's next to another gold one - don't recall having that problem with it. I think that I broke both teeth - ate a piece of red licorace that was stale - an it crunched. weeks later, eating a piece of bread, the tooth broke off. then the top one hurt - and he found it is cracked. Dentist wants to let the top one sit for a while though....I'm ready to have it fixed. it hurts worse than the one that was broken off!! the way the tooth broke, gold was the answer, as it could be molded better around the remaining tooth and into the gum tissue. I'm glad we have insurance!!! Cris Gold Crowns and Mercury Amalgams Hi Cris, Sounds like you and I are having similar issues with our teeth. I too have to have a gold crown put on a back molar which cracked because the amalgam filling expanded and broke the tooth. Catch is, I still have some amalgam fillings on the top of my mouth and I have read that when you mix metals in your mouth it sets up a galvanic (slight electric current) that can be very disturbing to some people and their health. Since I already have thyroid and adrenal issues the last thing I want to do is to add another stressor so I am considering getting the rest of the mercury amalgams removed before getting the gold crown. Right now I have a temporary crown on that tooth. All of this with no insurance medical or dental! That is why I am asking all these questions about mercury etc:-)) Peace, Love and Harmony, Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 I also need to have a bunch of dental work done. My mouth is full of amalgam fillings. I've already had several replaced a few years ago and I'm wondering if maybe the work I had done caused my hypothyroidism? I guess I'll never know the answer to that one. I'm kind of afraid to have the remainder of the dental work done because I'm concerned about getting sick again. I guess I can ask my N.D. about it and see what he advises. Its funny what you said about having mixed metals in the mouth causing electrical currents. I have one gold crown in my mouth along with the amalgams and I haven't experienced any electrical activity! Interesting to read about, though.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 there has to be something to it - because when it happened in the dentists office,he knew right away what happened. once it was in, it hasn't happened since. It was just the first touching of it In my mouth to the tooth. I can ask him more about it - how it happens etc. Cris Gold Crowns and Mercury Amalgams > > > Hi Cris, > > Sounds like you and I are having similar issues with our teeth.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Our bodies are made up of nothing BUT electrical activity! Add some metal and we're a walking electrical wire. If I'd only known this when I had all those fillings put in my mouth. We make great electrical conductors! Aggghhh!!!
