These days, the best anti-Mercury Dentists can run a quick patch test to see what white material any given patient can tolerate. The sensitivities caused by Mercury fillings affect people differently and its good to get a sensitivity test. We all know that no-one should ever have gold or glass ionomer replacement fillings once mercury is out. My book “The Mercury Fillings Compilation” tells you why not and should be read with interest.
Composite are usually tolerated by most ex-Mercury patients and often, if a Dentist cannot do the patch test, then just have one replacement filling. See whether in 10 days there are any adverse reactions such as a worsening of existing symptoms that have indicated Mercury affecting you. If not, go ahead with the removal protocol on different days as shown in my book. Best results, as the book says, are obtained in a 4 or 5 week removal appointments programme.
An anti-Mercury Dentist will not damage teeth during Mercury removal, it’s plain drilling BUT with high speed suction so you don’t swallow the particles, full body cover-up sheets, eye shields, and charcoal tablets before removal commences. This vital protective protocol is also in the my book. Interest is on every page and you will just gasp at the subject and how deceptive the dental profession has been towards the effect of Mercury upon the general health of its submissive and scared patients.
Understand that Mercury invades the whole tooth structure and the jaw tissue underneath. This takes time and chelation to leave your body. After 10 years, my Dentist is still coming across Mercury surfacing in my jaw tissue.
Anna,
I’m sorry to hear you’ve both had an upsetting experience with a Dentist recently and I empathise with your frustration.
I’m not a lawyer, to be able to offer any legal advice.
I think you should send a letter to the Dentist, repeating how upset you are at the Mercury fillings placed without your consent. Your child can then ask for them to be removed at the Dentist’s expense. Then request white fillings to replace the Mercury.
If the Dentist replies adversely, you can write to your Local Health Authority and the General Dental Council of Great Britain, to escalate the issue.
If you wish to learn more about the safe removal techniques of Mercury fillings, this is detailed in my ebook The Mercury Fillings Compilation.
I hope you receive some positive support.
Kind regards,
Angela
Dear Angela,
I have recently had an upsetting experience where a dentist placed 3 amalgam fillings in my child’s mouth without consulting with me or even the child herself. My daughter has just had her 14th birthday and they claim they needed consult with anyone. I would like to take this further but don’t exactly know how. Please advice.
Thank you
Sincerely
Anna
Thank you Paul for taking the time to make the useful comment on training for safe removal of Mercury fillings within the dental surgery. It is true that anti-Mercury dentists differ in the equipment they prefer to use. In my Mercury Fillings Compilation book there is a basic generic removal process for dentists and patients to know. The patient really needs to ‘interview’ any prospective dentist to check it through and if, even in the chair, something seems amiss, then the patient should stop proceedings to query. After all, it is the patient who would suffer ill health should the process be providing inadequate protection.
I joined a National Health dental surgery in my new home town yesterday for the first time since childhood. My mouth, minus Mercury, Gold and all other dental metals, is safe and healthy, but I thought I would now find out what an NHS surgery offers.
I was delighted with the young girls as dentist and nurse who looked after me, assessed and de-scaled the teeth. I was very unhappy at their own working conditions seemingly without proper contaminated-air evacuation or fresh air-intake. Any dental surgery carries particles of mercury vapour and female staff working in this environment can intake day-long absorption and ingestion of the microscopic airborne particulate. Female dental staff have higher than normal rates of spontaneous abortions, miscarriages and fetal abnormalities if they are in the child-bearing age range. Airborne Mercury particulate and vapour must be removed for staff and patient safety within the dental surgery environment.
Angela,
I appreciate your work and your comments stressing safe amalgam removal. I’m not so thrilled about your suggestion regarding patch testing for dental materials. I do think it’s a good idea to do some kind of testing, especially for patients who are already known to be chemically sensitive. A patch test only reveals an allergic reaction. Sensitivity to these materials may not show up in the form of allergy and may not react with a patch test. Conversely, if a patient is truly allergic, a patch test might provoke a more dangerous reaction than the dentist is equipped to deal with. Other dentists have been using “muscle testing” (kinesiology), which is controversial and very dependent on having an experienced “tester.” Also, some have been using a blood serum reactivity testing through Clifford Consulting Labs in the US (Colorado Springs). I don’t know if that’s available from the UK. Other safe removal protocols are essential, as you have stressed. I have found that many so-called “mercury-free” dentists are not as merucry SAFE as they should be, and most traditional dentists have no clue. My colleague, Dr. Tom McGuire and I have put together a training course on DVD to teach dentists how to make their practice truly mercury safe (see http://www.newdirectionsdentistry.com). Thanks again for your work, for your book, and for spreading the word.
