Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Can any dentist do the mercury removal from the teeth. Or do you have to go to a special one. Someone told me they went to a special one because it is very dangerous to remove them. Need to know before I talk with my dentist. Thanks, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in theory, any dentist could do a good job IF they follow adequate precautions. Now, what are " adequate precautions " ? Opinions differ, of course. I don't have much opinion -- I didn't really research this much, myself. There are links to about 5 or so " amalgam replacement protocols " , here: /files/HOW_TO_find_doctor Look in the section about dentists. As I say there, I am not saying these protocols are " correct " . I just offer them as information. Andy says to get a dentist who will use a rubber damn and give you separate oxygen to breath. The dentist I went to (who is a non-amalgam dentist) used a rubber damn and a special suction (an assistant stood there the whole time suctioning), but not separate breathing oxygen. The file above can also be used to find non-amalgam dentists and biological dentists, etc. Again, up to you to evaluate these people. You'll also have to judge whether the dentists' attitude matters to you. It did to me. That is, I go to an amalgam-using dentist who also places a lot of composite, and has done both kinds in my mouth. I think he would have been willing to replace my amalgams, but I chose not to do it this way. your mileage may vary. hope this is a start. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you in the United States or elsewhere? Go here: /files/HOW_TO_find_doctor Look for the section about DENTISTS. There are links to lists of dentists. These are dentists who are non-amalgam or " biological " dentists. Look for those located in your area. Call them. Ask around -- ask other " alternative " practitioners of any kind. Find dentists who state they do not use amalgam. They will have a better attitude LOL. I have had this done, many people have. The fact that this dentist says he has not heard of it means nothing. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Important to go to a mercury-free dentist IMO because if the dentist still uses mercury he or she doesn't undersatnd it's toxic and therefore won't be careful to avoid further exposure or make sure to get it all out. Also, it takes more skill to place composite so you want someone with training and experience.
