Hi,

I am sitting here in excruciating pain.....I don't know why but a couple of my crowns have started killing me (these are old crowns). It's like my teeth are falling apart......I have tried everything and I can't seem to strengthen my teeth, they are just getting worse.

I'm also having trouble with my gums.....I've always had strong gums but the last crown I had put in, it was loose and I was having foul stuff ooozeing out, (one side of my face would swell)....I started using different products, which eased it somewhat but ever since (that crown) my gums aren't the same. I finally found another dentist that cleaned out some mercury (that was left under the crown) and he reattached it.

The two crowns are on the opposite side......now I am really desperate....I can't wait and weed through all of the dentist that claim to be mercury-free. But I am soooo afraid to go to a dentist......waaay too many have lied to me, for waay too many years. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Does anyone have any ideas of anything that can strengthen my teeth?

Thank you,
Elaine
