I don't know how the heck you're still going after having that many!!!

I had 8 amalgams. I heard somewhere that even for mainstream dentists, there is a limit of amalgams (no more than 4?) that they are actually allowed to place in a mouth...if that is so, they are breaking the rules and have done for years.

My Mother has a mouth full of amalgams, so much so that removing them would probably cause what's left of her teeth to disintegrate. They used to fill them before they even developed cavities for......preventative measures <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Yet they actually weaken the struture of the tooth I hear.

sickening!
