Hi everyone!
I just came back 4:30 from having two more metal fillings replaced to composite. This time it only cost $90.60 with my insurance. It would have cost only $60.00 if I had chosen amalgam instead of composite but it was $30.90 extra well spent!
They found decay on this molar as well - and heavy mercury stains that went into the cavity right at the gum line. Not a pretty sight.
The only effects I am suffering right now is that the novacaine still hasnt worn off yet- as they had to shoot me twice with it.
Though I have 4 more fillings to get removed yet- The dental appointments and time off from work are already made. God willing, I should be mercury free in my mouth by September 1st.
I tried that dental chelat mouthwash instead of what the dentist had available, and it tasted pretty good. One of the ingredients are supposed to attach to any mercury ions released from amalgam removal. I think it is oral Disodium EDTA.. not sure.
Its a good thing Im getting these out 2 at a time, because Im not going to a holistic dentist as I have lots of debts, and this is more affordable for me..
I have not had any bad reactions to the composite/porcelain material this dentist is using. He is a perfectionist, and wont even purchase amalgam because he hates how it stains teeth, as well as creates fracture lines in molars and causes the teeth to crumble later in life.
Will keep you all posted!
