Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Hi Breezi, would you consider another dentist? The ONE thing dentists are absolutely do correctly is mechanical stuff, they are highly trained mechanics. If this one destroyed your tooth once, never go back. Where do you live? Elchanan rawfood [rawfood ] On Behalf Of Bob & Breezi Saturday, April 16, 2005 11:45 PM rawfood RE: [Raw Food] Having a tooth pulled.... Hello, I realize that this isn't an interesting topic but I am having a tooth pulled on Monday and to tell you the truth, I'm a little nervous about it. This is the last tooth on the bottom and the dentist said I won't have any trouble chewing because of it's removal. I chose this dentist about 4 years ago because she will remove amalgam fillings (correctly from everything I have read about this process) but she is also big on taking lots of (expensive) supplements afterwards (which she sells) " to help the body get rid of the mercury " . When she removed the filling in this tooth a few years ago she also drilled too deep and hit the nerve several times. She said I would probably loose the tooth because of it. Now about 4 years later she tells me from my x-rays that the tooth is abscessed and must be removed. I don't take supplements and refused to do so when she took the filling out 4 years ago. My guess is she will want me to take something after she pulls the tooth on Monday. Is there actually anything that I should take or do after having the tooth pulled? I'm not real excited about this but the tooth is broken and she said not enough there to even cap. Any advise would be appreciated on this issue.

Where do you live?> Hi Elchanan, Thank you for responding. I live across the Narrows Bridge just west of Tacoma in Washington State. I have checked with almost every dentist w/in a reasonable distance for me to drive and most will NOT remove amalgam fillings, or some will but don't use proper methods. This dentist I am going to does not believe in amalgam fillings or fluoride and is very health conscious. In fact, many years ago when I was vegan she is the one who told me about Victoria Boutenko and that started us on our raw journey. We actually stayed 100% raw for 2 years (now struggling to get back there). The tooth in question had a huge amalgam filling in it and was broken and decayed. At the time she wanted to put a cap on it but I said I wanted to think about it so she put in a temp filling which lasted 2 years then most of it fell out. When I went back she said that there was more decay and she could remove it and put in a permanent filling. The decay was deep and when she hit the nerve she told me then I would probably loose it. It lasted 2 more years then started coming out because there isn't enough tooth left to hold a filling. So, it is my fault that I didn't listen to her in the first place 4 years ago and I'm sure the tooth would have been saved. I have read from others of good dentists in the Seattle area but I can not go that far. Don't know if this tells you what you wanted to hear but I checked w/allot of dentists and I do feel very comfortable with her and the fact that she is the only one who knew about the benefits of a raw food diet, and the only dentist I talked to who believes that fluoride is bad. I have a mouth full of bad teeth, always have since I was young. In fact one thing I noticed is the fact that all the bad teeth in my mouth are the ones with the big mercury fillings. The teeth w/out fillings are fine! Breezi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that the majority of ALL fillings dentists put in today are replacements for existing fillings where new decay occurs under the filling? That's from a researcher at the ADA.
