Questions about x-rays, amalgam vs. composite resin, and tetanus shots

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

I wanted to find out what all of you think about x-rays, particularly at the

dentist's office. My dentist suggests every 1-1.5 years. Today was my 1.5 year

mark, but I told her to put it off until my next 6 month check up.

 

In addition, some of my fillings are amalgam and some are composite resin.

Amalgam is considered by some to be toxic because of the mercury, but now I've

heard that the composite resin ones are worse. What are your thoughts?

 

Finally, since I've been reading a lot of negative things about vaccines, I was

wondering about those times when a person steps on or gets punctured by a rusty

nail or piece of metal. At that point, you are supposed to get a tetanus shot.

What do all of you think about that?

 

Thanks,
