Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hi Everyone, I just joined yesterday, so I will read the files section soon and start working the archives, but this one caught my eye. I had a root canal maybe two years ago. I didn't go with the porcelain base but the metal, (nickel, gold, etc...) I thought I remembered that it doesn't have silver or mercury. Are these just as bad as amalgam fillings?? I am in Huntington Beach, CA, is there a holistic dentist near me I could ask? If I recall correctly Holistic Dentists don't believe in root canals, correct? They recommend pulling the whole tooth.?

We managed to save the tooth but it required a root canal. Some time later I noticed the tooth was discolouring and took her to a different dentist. Apparently the original work was done with silver amalgam (sp?) rather than white and it was this that was causing the discolouring. The dentist took the old filling out and inserted a bleaching product, which was left in for a week or so and then the tooth was re-filled. Recently she mentioned the tooth is starting to discolour again (she's nearly 20 and away from home now). > > Melony > > > > > The article details research done by Ritter, who suggests that dentists warn patients about " ..its detrimental effect on tooth structure...
