I really am all better except for that. For the most part my memories and physical associations with mercury poisoning are rapdily diminishing as I continue to feast on fresh cilantro and basil from the garden.

I truly dread the idea of losing another tooth to mr. dentist's lack of competency but I guess I will head in this week to have it yanked... done and over with. at least it's a rear molar as usual. still have my smile <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I really do think the mercury dentists fill those rear molars to provide future income for the industry. I have noticed in young kids how they will fill the back molars in a pattern starting with huge amalgam fillings in the 2nd from last molars (not including wisdom teeth) right left up and down. Guess which ones I have all had pulled at the point this last one gets done. I know so many people with bridgework in those same areas too. I have to spend my money on something else besides more worrying about 'em though.

I am so jealous of these hillbillies I meet whose parents were too poor to take them to dentists. They all have all their teeth still, assuming they are generally healthy to begin with and don't use drugs. Me, I am the resulting joke of 'preventative' dentistry circa 1970.
