Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I know this is a bit off topic but if there is anyone who knows about white fillings for cavities, please let me know. The manufacturer of the filling they want to use is tokuyama dental corp. product name is estelite. I freaked out when I saw what is used but I don't know what other alternative there is to mercury fillings. It is for my 5 year old. Re: religious exemption/?

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Make sure to get " adult " fillings for your child. Children's fillings can contain fluoride, and they don't last as long. My son had " children's " fillings and they fell out in about a week. That's sounds like it might be the same company who made his--not sure. Sometimes they don't really need to fill them if they're baby teeth. Are they, or are they permanent teeth? Winnie Re: religious exemption/? > > > > In a message dated 6/20/2008 10:05:48 P.M.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 The dentist claims they are her 12 year molars. I wouldn't even let them do x-rays they used a laser device to detect the cavity.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi Everyone, Did you know that cavities can heal themselves? Our wonderful dentist told me this years ago! We have the capacity to create cavities, but we also have the ability to heal them, if we eat the right foods and choose not to ingest any of the artificial foodstuffs most Americans call food and buy in the supermarket. What an epiphany! None of my children has cavities, but we've been a vegan, wholefoods family for most of their lives. It's interesting how many doctors people can live without, once they start feeding themselves and their children real live food. (Homeopathic treatment also helps, of course!)

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hi , We try very hard to only eat organic foods, lots of fruit and vegetables. We do eat meat though, usually grass fed if unable to get always with no added antibiotics or hormones. We do not use fluoride of any kind. What do you do if your children are over friends homes or out at parties which we go to regularly? What do you do once they attend school? It is nearly impossible to escape food that is complete JUNK! How do you manage to do that? Are your children older? Thanks, Jen Re: white fillings Hi Everyone, Did you know that cavities can heal themselves? Our wonderful dentist told me this years ago!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 > Does anyone know how much white fillings (in back teeth) cost as> compared to the mercury/amalgam ones. Hi Louise, In my personal view it is disgraceful that an NHS dentist would charge extra for a white filling at all, and many dentists don't charge extra to use white fillings as opposed to amalgam - but there are still many who will. - I'm only guessing, but somebody on this list quoted £70 for replacing an amalgam filling with a white one. I would imagine that there are huge regional differences in price, but £70 sounds about right for an average price to me ... unless you live near London or the expensive South. My own dentist (private only, no NHS) charges about £ 110, I think. - Just phone up your dental practice and ask the receptionist. They will know. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks . My dentist is now completely private (they weren't when I first went there) and by the look of the place now I'm guessing that they will probably charge me more than £110 but I'll have to ask. Also I don't know their views on amalgam vs white fillings for back teeth; they may not be keen on the idea. I'll let you know what happens ;0) Louise. > Hi Louise, > > In my personal view it is disgraceful that an NHS dentist would charge > extra for a white filling at all, and many dentists don't charge extra > to use white fillings as opposed to amalgam - but there are still many > who will. - I'm only guessing, but somebody on this list quoted £70 > for replacing an amalgam filling with a white one.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 H Louise, It depends how many surfaces of the tooth the filling are effected. My dentist charges according to this. This is her price list which may help http://www.lavender-barn.biz/charges.htm Val Does anyone know how much white fillings (in back teeth) cost ascompared to the mercury/amalgam ones.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hi Louise; I had all my fillings changed to white composite fillings 12 years ago and 2 of them are on back teeth. I have never had a problem with them. I see my dentist privately and I believe he charges about £100 per filling. Regards jane > > Thanks .

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have had one whiite filling on a back tooth and it cost £70. I am thinking about getting all my amalgums replaced, but I have 5 so could be expensive. Maybe my dentist will do some sort of 5 for the price of 4 deal.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks for this :0) My original filling only covered the top of the tooth but now the filling's broken it could be two surfaces. My dentist's filling charges start at £95 but presumably that's for an amalgam filling; I don't know how they work it out from there but I've got a nasty feeling it could be expensive. They've gone all posh and do Botox, line fillers and all sorts of cosmetic stuff as well as teeth now :0/ Louise. > > H Louise, > > It depends how many surfaces of the tooth the filling are effected.
