My new dentist suggested I replace all the silver fillings in my molars. It's odd to hear this after
years of begging other dentists to do it with no luck.
Have you done this? Have you experienced resistance from dentists?
Did you get heavy metal testing before/after?

Pill, I have read a lot about this, and there is a lot of merit to the whole mercury toxicity from these fillings. However, I did speak to a holistic dentist whom I really admire and she told me that taking these out could cause more problems than leaving them in. She said that as long as the filllings are inert and solid they are causing less of a problem than when they are vaporized or liquid and could enter the blood stream during the removal process. So she advised against it. Do you know they wear hasmat suits when they take this stuff out. She did tell me however, to beware of all the flouride other dentists use and to try to use toothpaste without it. |

As far as I know according to the latest findings amalagam fillings are harmful, because mercury is leaching every day even if the filling is in a good condition. My dentist recommended to take all of them out. I have also seen a Swedish study about amalgam fillings, which pointed out that people with these fillings have 9 times more mercury in their kidneys and 3 times more in their brains, so I did not hesitate to change all of them. I have not heard that dentists would need to do this in hazmat suit, though. |

Dentists are supposed to take some precautions when they remove amalgams - for your protection as well as for their own. They should wear mouth/nose masks and put a "well" in your mouth to catch everything that they are drilling out. You should not swallow the mercury when it is removed. Also, it is effective to do some IV chelation therapy while they remove the fillings so that you can begin to chelate it out of your system. I have tested high for mercury and will have my fillings removed shortly. In the meantime, I take chlorella as it helps to chelate mercury out of your system as well. Since I began the chlorella, my mercury levels have dropped a bit. Apparently it can take up to 4 years to completey chelate mercury out of your system. |
