Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Be carefull, you might want to change to an alternitive dentist that uses a rubber damm in your mouth when doing this. When I had mine taken out (one or two at a time) I kept getting sick like the flu and it would take me a week to recover after every time metal filling removal I approached my long-time dentist and he quickly agreed to remove my fillings (which he had put in). He did not even question my reasons. He will do one quadrant at a time. I will let you know if there are benefits. P.S. I have 12 of them!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Also an alternative air supply is important because when they're drilling the fillings out, it creates a mercury vapor which you can inhale if you don't have an alternative air supply.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Have a look at www.healthydetox.org for the correct protocol for amalgam removal. Bilberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 My long time dentist replaced my fillings as well, but I did a good deal of research first and the dentist and his staff were more than willing to accommodate me regarding appropriate scheduling, materials, etc. The dentist told me, whether a biological dentist or not, anyone removing mercury amalgams should be using a rubber or vinyl dam. That is just good dental practice. The materials I found helpful in " educating " my dentist before my " adventure " were: " PROTOCOL FOR AMALGAM REMOVAL AND DENTAL REVISION " by Hal Huggins, DDS, MS A Book entitled Mercury Free, but I don't recall the author. I also read every book I could find having to do with mercury amalgam removal and biological/mercury-free dentistry. I contacted DAMS for information. THis is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to educate the public about the dangers of mercury and other heavy metals. The have a nice info. packet if you are interested. I also read the entire www.healthydetox.org website as someone else suggested. All this took a lot of work. And even though I did everything possible, I have been struggling to get back to where I was a year ago. Ed makes the point, use caution and think before you leap. My experience has not been everything I hoped for and I was extremely cautious, but my condition is very brittle, so this was not unexpected.
