Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Stainless steel caps contain nickel which may be an issue for some people. They do not contain mercury. I would suspect the prolonged anestesia. S S <tt> My 4 yr old underwent general anesthesia 1 week ago for almost 3 hrs for dental work on her baby teeth. NEVER give raisins for potty training. She had 4 root canals and 3 large fillings placed. And now has SIX stainless steel caps and one teeth was finally pulled because it had a large abscess. (We brush/floss 3 times a day).<BR> He's a great dentist, but he's not mercury-free and thought I was crazy for refusing amalgam. We're still chelating her and ready for another round. I just spoke to a mom who told me that all the silver caps have mercury.<BR> Does anyone know if the stainless steel caps have anything bad in them? I've already annoyed my dentist. <BR> She was doing so well before, but has regressed w/ tantrums, stims, and lots of potty accidents since the procedure. I think it might have been the prolonged anesthesia? Should I have refused the root canals (on baby teeth) and forced him to pull all six teeth? Should I pull them now? Is there any supplement I can give her to get over this hump (I've increased her glutathione and NAC)? She's on nuthera vitamins and gets minerals, B-12, MTP promoter II.<BR> Can I still chelate using the old protocol? <BR> DMPS 30mg every 8 hrs (40 lb child) for 4 days and off 11 days? With all the extra steel do I have to increase the dose? Should I hold off on chelating for a couple of weeks? We don't have a DAN doctor so we're just doing this ourselves. kinda scary.<BR> <BR> Thanks so much in advance,<BR> Sheri Wang<BR> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

I would. I don't know what to say about all that dental work. I don't really trust dentists, especially the ones who use amalgam. What did he use to fill the root canals?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Sheri, Now, is anybody interested in figuring out why a 4 year old with good dental habits has such poor teeth? What does the dentist say? I would start looking at some preventative care for these teeth to avoid issues like this in the future (more than just the regular brushing you are already doing). Even sealants sound better than all of this surgical mess. I don't know diddly about teeth, but is her enamel intact? I hope you are able to recover her soon.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I come from a family with horrible teeth. I've wondered if that which makes some of us more susceptible to metal toxicity also plays a role in tooth decay somehow. Maybe something to do with mercury messing with the pH of the saliva??? I obviously don't have any solid theories. I had lots of fillings in my deciduous (baby) teeth and 17 fillings in my " permanent " teeth when I had them replaced and have gotten more since. The dentist has no good explanation. One set of grandparents and an uncle got dentures sometime in their 40s. My younger sister just got upper and lower partials. My mother had lots of fillings.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 My dentist told me that there are some people who seem to have some sort of bacteria that causes the cavities. He didn't go into any detail because we were talking about a different topic and he was just using that as an example. I have an appointment with him soon and will ask him to write down the name of the bacteria if he can. Perhaps there is a way of dealing with it. If I can get any information, I will post it.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 The dentist I just saw said she thinks I have lots of gum line cavities because I clench my teeth a lot, like all the time. She says it causes small fractures in the enamel and that makes me much more suseptable to cavities there.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 My 8 year NT son had his first 2 permanent molars come in with no enamel - the explanation from the dentist was that he maybe had a fever or antibiotics during the period of time when these teeth were " budding " .

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 > > My dentist told me that there are some people who seem to have some > sort of bacteria that causes the cavities. According to my dentist, xylitol gum is spectacular for this. I can't seem to find the link, but I did find one source that didn't have other nasty additives. It tastes great, is wonderful for a sweet treat for the kids, but it costs an arm and a leg. Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 > Now, is anybody interested in figuring out why a 4 year old with > good dental habits has such poor teeth? What does the dentist say? My kids have excellent teeth, and they have poor dental habits. I discovered that it was because of calcium toxicity. Too much calcium, no tooth decay. However, too much calcium did cause the baby teeth not to fall out, which is another problem entirely. I would suspect that there is lead in the teeth, or deficiency of magnesium and/or vitamin D. Either or both of these issues will cause calcium deficiency in the teeth, leading to excessive decay. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
