pbrane Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've been following this issue (Hg poisoning from fillings) for about 20 years and am also interested to know if there are any good mercury-free dentists in Thailand. I've found a number of dentists that do composites and can do the metal-free bridge I need, but as for safe removal of Hg, I'm not sure. There was a "holistic" dentist mentioned on the site of a Phuket health spa. I'll try to find the link again. As for the quackwatch people, they've been getting laughed out of court lately, unable to support their claims that mercury and root canals are safe. They even went after my dentist here in Wisconsin, and the judge threw the case out. I had my amalgams (16 of 'em) removed 12 years ago and am currently doing chelation therapy to get the remaining POISON out of my brain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I read once, if you remove the amalagam the normal way (grinding) than it may happen that you have a hugh intake of mercury due to the grinding and maybe they don't take everything so there is still some remaining in your teeth. So at least it is necessary that they have a good sucktion and I guess the right way of grinding (I think slow speed should be better). But I am not a specialist, just I read an article some time ago. Anyone know of dentist that do mercury free dentistry or remove amalagam fillings safely in thailand?

pbrane Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 ..yes, it's very important that you find a dentist who knows how to protect you (and himself and his staff) from the vapors etc. As for proof, I recommend that you do your own research. There must be a zillion articles by now, along with at least 10 books on the subject, citing many studies. Even the WHO (World Health Org.) has stated that they're unsafe. There's a class-action lawsuit getting going in Canada now, and there are number of european countries that have outlawed Hg fillings for pregnant women and kids. What more do you want? I know it's a hard bit on info to"chew," -especially if you have a mouthful of poison, like I did....... If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbrane Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 why is protecting himself and his staff important? Because they are exposed to Hg vapors while removing it -unless they use proper protocols (suction etc). Dentists' brains, on autopsy, usually have very levels of Hg in them (serves them right?)

Jeremiahnewton Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks for all the replies no matter what quack says. I guess I still think since mercury is a known toxin I would rather have it out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 and what is the problem on that? I think Jeremiahnewton doesn't want to eat his Dentists brain. That has nothing to do with the quality of the treatment, just for the life of the dentist. why is protecting himself and his staff important?

N&M Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 What are the problems associated with mercury fillings. I had a heap of them as a kid and nodin...nofink...nottink...nussin....I am ok so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 If I recall right..... Worst case is if you have gold and amalagam in your mouth because it generates (specially if sauer in your mouth) a kind of batterie and the mercury gets in small amounts in your body. mercury in your body: every body is very different on how much it needs to cause problems (once I read from 1:10.000). It can damage the liver, so I always try to have a well trained liver but also a lot of unspecific things like always tired, easily getting infections. But as mentioned you may have some problems and someone else with 1000x more in his body has no problems at all. Anyway it is an old fashion, outdated methode, should be replaced with newer thing...... What are the problems associated with mercury fillings.

taxexile Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 it has yet to be scientifically proven that mercury from dental amalgam fillings are harmful. however for those who wish to have their amalgam fillings removed and replaced , 1. composite (white fillings) have a very short life span compared to amalgam. they wear down quickly and exhibit shrinkage. 2. there is some evidence coming out that suggests that some of the chemicals that leach out from composite fillings are highly toxic. 3. replacing your amalgam fillings with gold inlays is the only truly safe way. gold is biologically inert and dental gold is the best material to use by far. by removing all amalgams and replacing them with composite fillings , you are lining yourself up for lots of root fillings later on as worn down and leaky composites cause problems with the nerves in the teeth. look at the swedish statistics , where amalgam usage stopped about 10 or 15 years ago. amalgam fillings are not very technique sensitive , i.e. even a dentist with limited skills or a huge hangover can place an amalgam filling satisfactorily. composite , on the other hand , is a difficult material to use and requires time and skill and strict adherence to correct procedures . a dentist having a sloopy day , or in a rush is likely to make something of a hash of the job. the only way to get amalgam removed without inhaling any of the toxic vapours that some believe are released , is to find a dental practice that specialises in the procedure.

Mark L. Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 quackwatch isn't on quackwatch? Mustn't be very accurate then... sheesh.. Mercury in the mouth is badddd. Its actually been known for years and years. Look to the source of info if anyone says its safe. You couldn't pay me to put that toxic garbage in my mouth. yet to be scientifically proven... Heres one. The Ecologist looked at 15,000 drug and food researchers. They concluded that 75 were independant. So I say look to the source of the study. Who is paying for it for example... Do some study on mercury itself and there is no question how toxic it is. Talk to a dental assistant and see (at least here in Canada) how they dipose of the stuff. Pretty technical and specific the disposal process. If you want most govs to make a stand and say its dangerous-don't hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark L. Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 LOL Actually I feel sorry for Dentists that have to put in and take out and work with the mercury... They have to breath it in and there is evidence that its messing them up.. A dentist with this concisouness and understanding of health uses methods so you and he are minimally exposed when taking it out (they wouldn't put the garbage in I'd hope) Actually (this isn't scientific but I think quite interesting). I was listening to a guy lecture onm health and this topic came up. He was at a convention lecturing on neuro something or other. When he was done he crossed the hall and popped into a lecture in dentistry. One of the audience stood up and challanged the speaker. Someone else stood up and started arguing with that guy. Pretty soon everyone was yelling etc etc (this is a proffesional conferance!!) Well his profeessional opinion was high metal toxitdity throughout the room. Now this is kind of funny and it certainly doesn't prove anything...but he was serious in what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more dangerous to be exposed incorrectly to the removing of the fillings than to leave them in place. The drill will atomize the amalgam as it is removed. Unless you know a doctor here, I would do it in another country like Singapore or Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
