Re: Dental question-mercury free or metal free

[Guest guest]

My amalgams were replaced with composites. Now I am looking for a dentist to

help with an alternative to the root canals I wish I'd never had and

replacements for my two crowns. What kind of a dentist should I be looking for?

We are across the Bay from San Francisco... Suggestions?

Thank you,

[ ] Dental question-mercury free or metal free

Hi, I was talking to a dentist about taking out all of my almagan fillings.

He asked me I want to be mercury free or metal free. I believe to be metal

free is much more expensive since I will need new crown and bridge. The

dentist want me to be metal free. Should I listen to him or he just tries

to make more money out of me? Please advise. Thanks.

Endodontist. I found one in Sacramento when I lived there who used biocalex

(significantly more biocompatible than gutta percha) and at my request forwent

the post since all posts (stainless steel or titanium) at the time contained

nickel. She also used acupuncture and gave me samples of everything she planned

to use so I could have the NAET practitioner test it all. Someone was working

on a natural fiber " post " but I haven't heard any more about it.

I would go with metal-free fillings, but first I would ask the dentist to

provide a list of what's in each kind of filling...

: Thank you. My dentist wants me to redo my crown and bridge

to be metal free. If I choose to be mercury free, I do not need to

redo my crown and bridge. Thanks.

Seems like it might make sense to take care of the fillings first and decide

from there whether to do anything with the crown and bridge. Is the crown

stainless steel or gold? The bridge is probably stainless steel.
