Yesterday, with the expertise of a good friend, Dr. Judson Wall, in Bountiful, Utah, I began my journey to become mercury free. There is so much information calling the use of amalgam (mercury) fillings into question that I became convinced that the time had come to have this toxic substance removed from my body. It's ironic that mercury is considered to be a toxic substance before it is placed into the mouth and after it is removed, but is considered harmless while it is in your mouth. Could someone please explain this logic to me? We are told to beware of fish containing mercury, but also told to go ahead and have large chunks of it put into our mouths. Again, could someone please explain?
Yesterday, my mercury removal was begun, in a very careful and safe manner by a Holistic Dentist. It was done in a manner that was safe for both me and those who performed the removal. It was discovered after removal that there were large amounts of decay beneath the mercury. This is because the mercury does not actually form a seal with the tooth, so food can still get into the original cavity and cause further decay.
Interesting post. I understand the dangers of mercury in the body, so you should get a mercury-free dentist.
ReplyDeleteMy dentist, Dr. Judson Wall, is not only mercury free, but takes his entire office to in depth mercury training conferences to be sure that they, not only he, know the dangers of the stuff.
