Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm kinda in the same boat. My mom brought a newspaper story over, detailing one woman paid $15,000 to have her amalgams removed and changed to resin. Large fillings may have weakened teeth to the point they can't take another assault. Pulling the teeth then you are at risk of bacteria in the cavitations. I had my widom teeth out 30 yrs ago, but I think they healed over nicely and the bone built back up to fill the void. My small fillings could be replaced under my insurance if they crack or fail, but the dentist said the insurance only pays for a replacement with amalgam but nothing else. Worse yet, if the filling is replaced with anything but amalgam, they would charge me also for the removal and disposal of the old one. No pro-rate. snafflesnshelties <snaffles@...> wrote: Sorry but there is no way I can afford a full dental clean up.. not when we live on a limited budget.. dont think insurance would pay... and all of my larger molars have huge huge fillings any ideas joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 , you should check with your insurance because mine did pay to have my old amalgams removed--they just didnt cover the amount as well as if I had used amalgams as replacement materials. Talk about a SCAM!!! I was lucky that my insurance covered a nice amount however because replacing all my amalgams was very expensive (but worth it!). I would simply advise each person considering it to check with their insurance. Dont just assume the procedure wont be covered. And definitely dont take advice from a dentist! (no offense Jerry). Also, I had my blood tested to check for allergies to the dental composite materials used in my new fillings. I highly recommend this. I went to a Huggins dentist recently and she said she helped cure a woman with MS just by replacing amalgams with composites tested for compatability.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Unfortunately my insurance is underwritten by Medi-Cal which has rules on molars. They will not pay for resin unless it is visible front teeth. The book says they will only pay for amalgams. this is why I told the dentist I WILL PAY FOR IT. Just PLEASE dont use amalgam. This is why I am so mad he drilled out my old filling then announced he was proceeding with amalgam because it was too big and resin would not hold up. I told him I don't eat hard foods or chew ice. Didn't matter to him. At that point there would have been no time to find a decent dentist to fill it the right way, before the novacaine wore off. lornabeaverman <rcmlam@...> wrote: , you should check with your insurance because mine did pay to have my old amalgams removed--they just didnt cover the amount as well as if I had used amalgams as replacement materials.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 We are very lucky because Dr. Jerome from the Cure for All Diseases is only 102 miles away from our home. I had half of my mouth done by a dentist in Cincinnati who claims to be " mercury free " but is not very good at what he does. He did not use a dam and did not give me a charcoal pill. I kept spitting out pieces of mercury. I know I probably swallowed quite a bit of it. He also left small bits of amalgam on my teeth. I asked him about it and he said it would be inside the filling and would not leak. He was very rough. I was swollen and lightly bruised and almost everything he did had to be redone. One of my teeth cracked so bad that he had to put a cap on it. That cost a small fortune and now the cap is chipped. I was having this done right before I learned of Dr. . So I didn't know any better. He also put metal back in my mouth as it showed up on x-ray (plastic doesn't.) After the pain and bad experience I waited a couple years to finish my dental cleanup. If I had known how good Dr. Jerome is, I would have done it sooner. He is amazingly gentle and really fast. (The worst part to me is feeling like you are choking.) He is even gentle when it comes to numbing you. He does it real slow and massages it into you so it doesn't hurt at all. He wasn't all that terrible when it came to cost either. He charged what any dentist charges not the 15,000 listed below. He did my work in 2004 and I have had no problem with it at all. If you can go to Columbus, Indiana for your dental work you will be glad you did. I am going to buy his book the Tooth Truth one day but I am almost afraid of what it will say. I have two root canals in my front teeth. He doesn't push anything on you; he just says when I'm ready to let him know. Rose Re: dental cleanups I'm kinda in the same boat.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ok, I just read the dental clean-up from http://www..net/info/dental.htm So I have a long way to go and don't think I will be doing it anytime soon. I guess if I get sick I will. Right now I just wanted to get the mercury vapor away from my son. This is major and I am impressed with anyone who goes through with it. It will take me some time to become that brave. I'm guessing that everything Dr. wrote in her previous books is no longer useable. For future reference, is there a dentist or oral surgeon who does exactly what she says to do? I really don't know if Dr. Jerome does all of it or not.

How are these blood tests done, and what is the name of the testing procedure? How much do they cost? Where can one get them done?

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Rose, In Dr. " Prevention Of All Cancers " she has found that a toothbrush zappicator can harden plastic fillings so that they don't seep. Don't worry about the materials replacing the amalgam to be perfect as they can be hardened now. That link you read is old news. I have had wonderful results the first month now since getting my amalgams removed. http://www.bestzapper.com/toothzappicator.htm Corey Sorry but there is no way I > can afford a full dental clean up.. > not when we live on a limited budget.. dont think insurance would pay... > > and all of my larger molars have huge huge fillings > > any ideas > > > joyce > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
