Can someone please go into detail?

I’m thinking of having them all removed because I have these niggling health problems, not one major issue but lots of small, chronic things, such as eczema. Please reply and tell me your experiences. Thank you!
Oh and no, my dentist has never recommended it, he’s not into making money, he’s just old fashioned and doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with having one of the most toxic metals in our mouth, year after year after year.

I keep hearing that mercury fillings are dangerous but also hear that removing them will cause more mercury to enter your body?

I’ve had mercury amalgam fillings in my back teeth since I was a child. I’m concerned the metal continues to seep into my system. I’ve heard porcelain composites don’t last in back teeth, but do dentists still use gold fillings if you have the cash for them? And do they prove to be the best fillings?

Can I go to a regular dentist or do I have to go to a dentist that takes all the safety precautions?

I have decided to get my mercury amalgam fillings removed because I do not trust the controversy surrounding them.What is the safest way to get them replaced with composites?Any info appreciated.
In reply to doctor matt there has been controversy and it is still going on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_amalgam_controversy
but I appreciate the info.
What precautions will the dentist take to prevent me from inhaling mercury vapour when he/she drills out my filling?

I have some fillings from the 70′s, when mercury was used for tooth fillings. what are the symptoms of health effects associated with being poisoned by the mercury?

I need about 00 so I can go to a holistic dentist trained in removing mercury amalgam fillings. I am suffering from chronic mercury poisoning with 48 symptoms. I have no credit as I am rather young, and cannot take out a loan or a credit card. I am scared and suffering a lot. What should I do?

I believe my high body levels of mercury making me ill is due to the fillings,thanx

are there any dentists in kc who accept medicaid for children and who provide cavity fillings that are NOT mercury. I went to a dentist today who only provides mercury fillings for medicaid patients but my kids cannot have mercury fillings…any ideas?

I have quite a few mercury fillings, and am concerned about long term safety. Dentists and others working in that industry, skip this one please, if I want to know who makes the best fried chicken in town, am I going to ask Colonel Sanders ?

I need to have mercury amalgam fillings removed. I plan to have this done in the near future. It has caused a great deal of health problems for me.

I remember when I was 6 and 7 in the nineties I got fillings for my teeth. I think it’s possible that they could have contained mercury so I should I get them replaced?

I had my mercury fillings removed. I want to know what is the best way to remove the mercury from the body?

If not, are there any supplements or anything I can do in the meantime to reduce the toxicity in my body until I can afford to remove them? I have systemic lupus and kidney disease and am wondering if I can get this procedure (9 mercury fillings put in 2 years ago!) covered.
Thanks, Holly G. Why don’t you try having an incurable illness sometime.
