I was told that an x ray will show if there is still amalgam left. With me this was not necessary. I can clearly see a black chunk at the root of my tooth underneath the filling.

I have my two silver fillings drilled out in Feb 2005, so I am far from initial dumpting phase when I was so ill I hate to even remember.

I am better compared to then of course, but I have always been wondering why I relaps so easily and so often. This here is my answer. I must remove every bit of it.

How can they remove something that is so close to the top of the tooth? It's seems impossible other than taking the tooth out....

There is only one holistic dentist in another town, and he sounds like a real ***hole, so I am not even sure if I should just go to him. What are the risks at this time of going to the regular dentist and having the tooth removed?

I somehow now know that this is the only way I will finally truly be better.
