No disrespect intended but what's the point of bumping a thread 30 minutes after it was originally started? The topic currently has 18 views so several people have at least read it and probably watched the video as well. If the thread had gone 3 days without a reply then I might could understand bumping it but 30 minutes seems kinda ridiculous.

Yeah I guess that bump was a bit premature. So hope this one is better.

I got rid of all my silver amalgams long ago and feel so much better for it.

I wasn't sure if this was true or not, but all I can say is that my RA is a LOT better now than it was 20 years ago. I don't have nearly the joint problems I did when my mouth was full of those fillings. They also looked horrible!

I can't believe that my mom used to mix amalgams in the palm of her hand. She even taught me how to do it. It's a wonder that dental assistants weren't dropping like flies back in the 50s - 60s - 70s from handling all that mercury.

i'm keeping mine in - i'm worried that if i get them removed I won't get as many radio stations in my head.

Mercury is one of the most toxic elements on earth. It is linked to many of the most degenerative and horrible diseases known to man. It is unfortunate that these diseases are virtually all iatrogenic - diseases caused by inappropriate medical / dental treatment.

Mercury is one of the deadliest toxins known to man. Its toxicity may well prove to be the most invasive and widespread disease in the history of mankind. Mercury poisoning causes many common medical and mental problems including but definitely not limited to:

· generalized morning stiffness

· joint pain

· rheumatoid arthritis

· mixed connective tissue disease

· skin rashes

· subcutaneous nodules (skin bumps)

· multiple sclerosis

· amyotropic lateral sclerosis

· neurological symptoms

· ringing in the ears

· burning and numbness sensations

· dry eyes and mouth

· immune dysfunction

· axillary lymph node swelling

· digestive disorders

· malnutrition

· leaky gut syndrome

· dysbiosis

· yeast and pathogenic bacteria infections

· chronic fatigue

· depression

· circulatory diseases

· atherosclerosis

and the list goes on and on.

Most of the mercury in our bodies comes from the amalgams used to fill teeth. Though called silver fillings because of their silver appearance, these fillings contain 50 percent or more mercury along with other dangerous and toxic metals including copper, nickel, and tin.

Mercury can cause serious dementia, depression and short-term memory loss as well as all of the above listed symptoms and diseases. The American Dental Association (ADA) has known about the extreme toxicity of mercury for many years, yet they continue to deny that mercury in amalgams is toxic and they are adamant in denying that mercury leaches out of the filling. For many years now the ADA has been extremely active in keeping dental patients from learning that dentists have poisoned more than 85 percent of our population!

The ADA continues to fight a rear-guard battle to cover up their culpability in much the same way that tobacco and the cigarette industry have covered up and/or suppressed information suggesting that their products were connected with any disease entity. This is the same type of criminal negligence that surrounded the use of silicone breast implants, asbestos, intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs), and pickup truck gas tanks. It's all about greed and stupidity, egos and reputations and from one perspective represents the most reprehensible form of unethical and immoral behavior imaginable.

Dentists have known about the deadly consequences of mercury for many years. Mercury amalgams were introduced into the United States in 1833, more than 160 years ago and were denounced at that time by large numbers of American dentists. The opposition was so strong that the American Society of Dental Surgeons, formed in 1840, required its members to sign pledges promising not to use amalgams. And in 1848 they actually found 11 members of the society guilty of malpractice for using amalgams. All were suspended resulting in such an uproar that the Society had no choice but to disband in 1856. Its successor was the American Dental Association. Dental amalgams were not in good repute until after 1895 at which time it is believed that the ADA supported their use.

Prior to World War II a German chemist named Dr. Alfred Stock published many articles on the dangers of mercury fillings. A Colorado dentist, Hal Huggins has spoken out against amalgams for more than 20 years now. His book "It's All In Your Head" will teach you everything the ADA is trying to cover up. Read it and you will then know more about mercury toxicity than 99 percent of all American dentists.

Your dentist may attempt to refute the bad information on mercury amalgams because he is under pressure from the ADA to deny that this mercury leaches out. He also is probably unaware that a bacteria in your mouth -- Streptococcus mutans -- can transform mercury into methyl mercury which is 100 times more toxic than metallic mercury. Don't listen to or believe what he says (that mercury is safe) because he is parroting back ADA propaganda. The ADA has published and distributed guidelines for all dentists to use when answering questions regarding amalgams. Your dentist lives under the very real threat of having his license revoked for speaking negatively about amalgams. Thus it is necessary that you read this book and discover for yourself the incredible potential that amalgam has for destruction.

Daphne Zuniga contracted mercury poising from eating too much fish. She recalls having crying spells, low grade depression and memory loss- scary! :eek:

WOW! Mercury is everywhere its horrible.

yikes! i too got rid of all of my silver fillings a couple of years ago. SO much better!

To all of those who got rid of their silver fillings, could you please share what the health benefits were for you? I have silver fillings and was thinking about having them removed. What does it cost per tooth to do this kind of thing?

i don't remember how much it cost. i got them all removed and changed to porcelain about four years ago, at the recommendation of my dentist. i had switched to that dentist and my first visit he advised me to change them. it was something i had always wanted to do because i hated the way the silver looked in my mouth. my insurance did cover a portion of it, but i don't remember how much. sorry i can't be of more help. maybe the best thing to do would be to contact your health insurance and see how much they charge for that type of dental work. or you can consult your dentist and see if they know the prices. you won't regret it though!

I did a price check with a local dentist. They told me anywhere from $180-$250 each tooth.

:eek:

I know that is pretty high especally if you don't have dental insurance.

That sounds about right. With me, the fillings were basically super old and some had cavities forming under them. I just had them changed whenever they had to work on the tooth anyway. My insurance covered 80%. That price quote Ardis posted sounds about right.

The benefits for me were huge - my whole body had been wracked by RA and now I really only ever feel it in my hands now. Not nearly as bad as it used to be. The mercury really messes your immune system up.

WOW! 80% that is really great!

I have been trying to get some of my family members to get this taken care of. I am worried about their health. They have had these things for years. I know the mercury has already done physical damage to them. It makes me so angry that dentist are still today putting metal/mercury filling in as we speak. It's crazy!

I'm surprised it wasn't banned by the FDA years ago.

Well with all the health problems it cause that is just more money for the medical industry to make. Why would they ban something that makes them rich.

I went to my local dentist's office last May after discovering that a cavity on the front of my last remaining lower-left molar (that I've lived with for the past five years, BTW) is getting larger. After the checkup two weeks later, the office said that I needed over 10 fillings due to a lot of much smaller cavities.

I entered the office for an appointment this month expecting to have that larger cavity taken care of, but they wanted to fill two small cavities on the opposite side of my mouth first, and amalgam would be used. I freaked-out knowing what I've read about the long-term health problems caused by the mercury in those amalgam fillings (like weakening of your immune system, mercury vapors getting into your lungs and bloodstream, and Alzheimer's disease), so I ultimately exited the dentist office with nothing bring done that day.

I suggested that composites be used instead for my fillings, but if the mercury fillings absolutely MUST be used, hopefully they do NOT fall out at the worst possible time (like when I'm eating anything or brushing my teeth). I would also hate to lose my vision because of the sheer amount of mercury fillings, either. My Medicaid insurance won't cover anything besides the amalgam, so anything else will have to be paid for out-of-pocket. Amalgam is the cheapest and longest-lasting filling option.

Can anyone persuade me that amalgam fillings aren't as dangerous as the Internet makes it out to be?

Amalgam fillings have been in hundreds of millions of people's mouths for many decades. No signs of mercury poisoning.

And what about the potential for vision loss or blindness as a result of having so many metal/silver fillings in your mouth? That's the next thing I'm wondering about.

And what about the potential for vision loss or blindness as a result of having so many metal/silver fillings in your mouth? That's the next thing I'm wondering about.

Why don't you ask the dentist, or other people in the office, these questions?

If I were you I would probably ask the dentist if he would consider using composite resin fillings, since you're very concerned. If the answer is no, it may be time to try another dental center.

I did read online that composite fillings generally are more expensive than amalgams, if that's a factor in your decision, but most places offer payment plans to ease your financial burden.

Use the Find a Doctor link from this Microscope Dentistry site, and get a second opinion. Just a suggestion, of course.

I don't think you're being helpful with a reply like this. I will no longer accept any unhelpful replies from anyone, especially you, JamesG. I am not trying to make any jokes here, and neither should you. Because of the fact that human teeth can't repair themselves, tooth loss is no laughing matter, especially if you lose the wrong teeth at a young age.

The truth is, I lost a lower-right first molar before I even turned 21, and I'm afraid of losing my eyesight for any reason. I think you want me to lose my eyesight from having too many metal/silver fillings (whether it results from mercury poisoning or not). I'm just afraid for my dental future right now.

What better advice is there to give?

You should speak to those who know what they are talking about if you're so concerned about your dental care.

Was I joking?



I think you want me to lose my eyesight from having too many metal/silver fillings (whether it results from mercury poisoning or not).

What makes you come to that conclusion?

The truth is, I am one person who just learned too late that teeth, whether temporary or permanent, just can't heal or repair themselves at all. I was either experimenting on how many days I could go without brushing my teeth, or I just couldn't get into the habit of doing it every day because I was so exhausted from graduating high school and then moving house just a month and a half later. A big mistake; That's how my lower-right first molar started to just break-down by itself until nothing above the gumline was left.

It would have been better if that were my lower-right second molar breaking down instead, or even any of my wisdom teeth. I deeply regret this behavior, and now I'm doomed to a lifetime of bad dental health (too many silver fillings, extractions, having to use partial dentures, etc.), no matter how well I take care of my teeth. My parents never bothered to take me to the dentist during my school days unless a toothache arose, and that would be grounds for an automatic tooth extraction. Also, my permanent teeth aren't that straight, but I was afraid of getting dental braces (which would make me look like a creep). Being raised in a town where you don't get to experience much in life after your high-school graduation doesn't help matters for me.

I also heard that a tooth infection can cause loss of vision.

Good oral care does NOT stop after your graduation from school.

^ So now you have permanent dental issues that were completely avoidable from not doing something as simple as brushing your teeth? Unbelievable.

There is 'Comfey Root' Jimmy which can help bones heal (Even Teeth) but the properties of it are quite high and you gotta be careful using it in the mouth I read...(1 doesnt wanna swallow much if any at all)

^ So now you have permanent dental issues that were completely avoidable from not doing something as simple as brushing your teeth? Unbelievable.

It looks like you're indicating that what I did in the first place that led to the first-molar extraction is grounds for shaming. There are now six dentists in my town of 10,000 (there used to be a seventh, but he retired last Spring).

Look at the treatments my dentist recommended (you might want to Google the abbreviations used here): Going by the dental chart, 1 and 16 are EXT, 2 and 14 are MODL, 3 is MOL, 4 and 13 are DO, 15 is MOLB, 17 and 19 are OB, 20, 21, and 28 are O, and 31 is OB with IPC or EXT. 28 is also labeled as an EXT, but I refuse to go along with that treatment because of ability and aesthetic fears. It doesn't help that amalgams also require the destruction of much more of your healthy enamel than composites do.

If every one of these treatments is completed, will I be permanently unable to eat certain foods? And what else would I have to stop doing for good?

I have started to brush my teeth twice daily after losing that first molar over a decade ago. I feel like may have started that habit too late. I don't remember much, but I probably went a couple of days at a time without brushing my teeth in the early 2010s, and that was a stupid experiment indeed. I feel like one reason that my life won't have much of a prime is because of losing that lower-right first molar.

Am I supposed to wait years for a weird sci-fi solution to my tooth troubles now?

^ I'm not a dental expert and you need to talk to your local ones to find your best course of action. You should address your concerns and questions to them.

Can you guys please both knock it off? We don't need the fighting. This thread has about run its course.

You’re right, I’ll stop.

I’ll close with saying that I have all my teeth and zero cavities from my recent hygienist visit last month. :D

How about would it be better if other users detailed how many metal fillings they have on this thread, since I still haven't had my first one yet, and my future is still looking bleak because of it?

I have four fillings, one since I was a teen (I'm 72 now), the other two for many years. One in a wisdom tooth developed another cavity, and had to be redone about 7 years ago. Other than that about 10 years ago what started out as a redone sealant ended up as a filling. No fun--the dentist at the time had not done any novocaine (just for a new sealant), and he said, being in the middle of the procedure, would I mind just going without? Again--no fun!

Alll of these TMI stories are part of the four total, and I've never had any filling fall out.

It's too bad you have so few dentists in your area, because we have a microscope dentist in this area -- Dr. Randy Shoup -- who has a radio show, with several years of them catalogued on his website. I think that generally these dentists use only composite fillings.

My dad had several amalgam fillings. He had no related health issues of which I'm aware, with some of the fillings dating back decades -- and continued having good vision into his mid-'70s when he died.

It surprises me though that amalgam fillings are still in use. I don't know anyone my age (58) or younger who has had them.

Yes I didnt realise some ppl still were putting them in......

My mom has metal fillings but I don’t. Instead, I had braces.
