Re: amalgams, removal or not...

[Guest guest]

I had my amalgams removed without all the precautions. I did ask the dentist

though to remove the fillings in chunks rather than drill them to dust which you

will breathe in again. Also look into supplements like vitamin C, activated

charcoal, ect.

[ ] amalgams, removal or not...

I cannot afford to go to a " mercury free " dentist to get my amalgams

removed, just not an option till we win the lottery. I did have to find a

new dentist since my husbands job changed. The new dentist said he can

replace them with composit and the insurance will cover most of it. about

$40 a tooth left for us to pay.

The thing is, the only safety things he does is using a water flow over the

amalgam while he cuts it, with a vaccume to collect everything. Is it worth

the risk to get them out, or do I leave them in? Is there anything I can do

to minnimise the risk? Or should I wait till I win the lottery?

Thanks for any and all advice,

from Kansas

Make sure that he uses a dental dam so you don't swallow any of the

pieces. He should have that readily available. He should definitely

have his high suction tube on all the time (hopefully it vents somewhere

other than the room that you will be in). Also, you might discuss with

him whether he would be willing to take the time to use a pick to get

them out. That is, he can get them out without drilling (it's a fairly

soft metal) if he is willing to take the time (there are mercury free

dentists who do this as a specialty). Finally, I don't know how handy

you are, but you could rig a face mask with a long tube and put the tube

out the window. That way you would have an alternate air supply. If

you do all this, you'll pretty much have a state of the art removal.

Jury rigged, for sure, but who cares, as long as it works!

Just a cautionary note. This is from someone who has been in a

miserable state for much of the last 15 years due to a very poorly done

amalgam removal. So don't be shy about being what he may see as

" excessively carful " .

An Hg sick friend of mine had her amalgams removed by a regular dentist who

tried to follow the Huggins protocol. She lived in a fairly remote area and

he did not have IV C at his disposal so she went directly to a medical

center after the dental work and got intravenous vitamin C infusions there.
