Do some research on xylitol... I think if you use 6 g a day, it can prevent cavities and I heard it can re-mineralize teeth?? I think 6 g is like 8 pieces of Spry xylitol gum a day. You can get rinse and toothpaste too. --- ToniTo: mb12 valtrex Sent: Mon, September

There is a great book about curing tooth decay and a website.

curetoothdecay.com. I'd try this first. If they are baby teeth, they will

eventually fall out anyway. I have not read this book, but heard it was good and

plan to get it for my husband.

good luck

only thing i know of is composite, is that what you are referring to? Which works for a small cavity, but apparently one is big and needs a whole silver cap over it...

Find another dentist. There are plenty of alternatives to metal caps and amalgam fillings.

If a cap is the same as a crown - and i think it is - there are many options for

the material. gold and porcelain are two options. under no circumstances have a

silver filling put in - i didn't even know dentists used amalgam fillings

anymore. get a white composite filling. i would google types of crowns or caps

and see what you get. maggied.

My son has a stainless steel cap. There is no amalgam within it. You might

call around to different dentists.. I know one guy who said that he would have

just filled the whole thing up with bonding material, but that he couldn't

guarentee that it would remain intact for the duration of the tooth. It was not

a permanent tooth. and should be coming out very soon... yippee...

when i get my teeth done i just get novocaine. if you get enough novocaine you

don't feel anything. i had a root canal done this way, too, and i never felt

anything. maggied.

i agree about calling around. you might google " mercury-free dentists " and see

what you get. because a dentist who considers him/herself mercury-free may have

a holistic approach. that's how i found my dentist in nyc. maggied.

the only problem with novocane is that it is delivered by needle- not something

most kiddies are going to sit for :)

I was in the same predicament about a month ago. We finally decided to have the cap put on. We got the Msds sheet on it and it was 100% stainless steel. I wanted to make sure that there were no other metals in the cap and we went back and forth with the dentist about making sure of this and he showed us the manufacturer's sheet and we saw that it was 100% stainless steel. My husband works with these sheets from manufacturer's all the time and he said we are very reliable. So not really knowing what else to do and feeling OK about the cap we just put it in and got on with the rest of his recovery.
