Hi there. I'm a newbie to your forum. A ton of good info here!

I was tested for heavy metal toxicity and came up with mercury, lead, nickel and cadmium. I'm on EDTA chelation (non-IV) 2X week and found a merc free dentist in my area to get a quote on removing the 2 amalgams I have. I've had these babies for 33 years and I know, after reading all of the ill effects they can cause, that most of my ills over the years have been from the fillings.

Today I had my teeth cleaned at my old "regular" dentist. The hygenist stayed off of the silver surface of my fillings until the end of the session when she hit them with the little polisher thing. Now, at 6 hrs later, I have quite a headache and have quite a murky brain fog.

Anyone else experience this type of merc reaction after something as seemingly simple and benign as a polish?

Also...what is the average price that some have you experienced for amalgam removal and replacement of say, 1 tooth?

Thank you for all the info on this site! It has been a blessing to find!
