wow, thanks all of you for such support and kindness. It sure is hard to hang in there, and I know it is for you all as well. Thanks Sandi so much for your offer, I'm not sure where you're located?? But your hospitality is really something else! Thank you so much for the offer. I live in New Zealand, so I'm REALLY far away from most places!!!
But hey, I'll keep it in mind.

Jason, I agree, i reckon we should really investigate whta people get in their mouths, how they felt and any unusual reactions or problems healing. I don't know if it's the metal oxides or plastics that are the issue. I think it depends what kinds they are. For instance, many glass ionomers can contain lead and arsenic that go over the limit of what people should be exposed to, perhaps these would definitely be an issue. As for aluminium oxide etc, not sure, as we both know it's contained in so many things anyway, that having it contained in ceramic, a hard material that doesn't leach out it's contents like amalgam or composite, might make it a safer bet for many people who simply would react to whatever they have. especially if their immune system is under attack from other issues at the sametime. I've asked a question on another forum about cerec and asking if anybody has it and how they feel. I am going to ask this on every forum I belong to and hope for responses and will get back to you all.


I would LOVE it if my teeth would heal over and I wouldn't have to get materials in my teeth, but the idea of risking this, having the materials taken out and spending years to try and recover, I do not know if I could risk that and spending that time with holes in my teeth. I just do not know. It sounds great, but I don't know what to believe, especially considering I have many other health challenges at the sametime they are hindering me from healing anyway. What these are is not completely clear.

Sandi, I have had a cavitat scan done. It cost me 700 NZ dollars, which is RIDICULOUS, but I was desperate. It showed definite cavitations in upper jaw, but not in lower, yet a doctor detected dead pulp / gangrene in my lower left jaw, which was after a recent wisdom tooth removal and he believes there is definitely something there. So it is very hard for me to kow what to do. One dentist said from my xray alone, it shows all wisdom tooth sites have cavitations.

I also can feel pain when I apply any pressure to those areas, a deep pain, so I think there is problems in all of them, also notice a pretty foul taste if I massage and push on them after a while. Id' not recommended doing that, but it can indicate a problem underneath if you feel pain or discomfort. E.g. you squeeze the cavitation site between thumb and forefinger, you don't have to really do it hard, and if you notice pain, there is normally a problem.

Anyway, I don't know what to do. I'm absolutely up in there air over all of this.

thanks again to you all for everything and your prayers. Really appreciated and you've all been so helpful to me too!
