What kind of procedure did your dentist use? I had 13 amalgams removed since this july, doing 2 at a time with rubber dam and oxygen mask and water jet over the tooth during drilling. He said he cut them in chunks (instead of grinding them into dust), but I don't know if that was true. Also, right after each visit I immediately changed and washed all clothes and took a long shower with sulfur soap and shampoo.

Last couple visits, though, I did get mild flue-like symptoms for couple days after the visit, so I halted the removals with this dentist. For the remining 4 amalgams I picked another dentist, an hour drive from my home, who specializes in mercury removal and detox. The previous dentist was just a regular dentist in my neighborhood who agreed to take them out using IAOMT procedure about which I told him and then showed him web site with description. So he was actually learning the procedure on me, which I am starting to realize may have been my mistake. Altogether though, the problems do seem fairly minor so far.
