Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 My dentist removed all (9 or 10?) amalgams in the course of around 4 or 5 visits. Here are some things he did. 1. Gave me charcoal before and after the removal 2. Had a room with some sort of ionic collector for any particles that made their way into the air 3. covers his face with a special mask (not just the ordinary white ones) during the actual removal 4. covers my face with a special mask (a different kind: an oxygen mask) 5. He monitors his own body's level of mercury. Key words to use to find someone who does this sort of work are " biological dentistry " A google.com search of " amalgam " also yields a lot of good information. By the way, in my prelminary appointment, he measured the level of mercury vapor in my mouth. Below OSHA workplace standards.... until he gave me some gum to chew, and then my mouth had mercury vapor readings ABOVE OSHA workplace standards... yeah, get 'em out, but pay more rather than less to do it, and have it done by someone who uses all the precautions. Most dentists have been tought that amalgams are perfectly safe, and as a result they don't use adequate precautions from exposure.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hi, this is Mary Ellen. I read with great horror about the mercury in amalgams that someone posted. I have (get this!) eleven (11) fillings in my mouth. Six on the bottom and five on top. This is from the 1960's and early 1970's. My dentist is probably dead! How can I find out if these fillings contain mercury? Or... dare I ask...do ALL fillings contain mercury? Because I'm starting to freak out here. Angie, my darling daughter suggested I just get all of my teeth removed. Uh... I don't think so! Please. Someone tell me something good that can be done, before I ruin my weekend by having a nervous breakdown. Peace, ~*~Mary Ellen~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do one filling at a visit. rusty. - " Mary Ellen Wolfe " <Wolfegang <rawfood > Friday, April 30, 2004 1:27 PM [Raw Food] a question about amalgams > Hi, this is Mary Ellen.
