Hi James,

Welcome! Since you say you don't have any mercury in or under your root canaled teeth, and the only metal that would be remaining would be the Gold in that one tooth, based on what I know this sounds like a reasonable plan.

I don't know much about Gold though. And I honestly don't know about chelation with Gold. I don't know whether you were going to try and do some natural or formal chelation after mercury removal.

Knowing what I know now, I think getting those root canaled teeth extracted at some point, though, is the way to go. The fact that you wait until some time after your mercury removal should be ok, I would think. But this is a decision that needs to be made on an individual basis, I believe.

I had 17 mercury amalgams removed back in 2006. I had them removed all in one marathon session. Two weeks later I had my one root-canaled tooth extracted as well as another problem tooth that had no mercury but a crown and had become abcessed.

I handled everything ok with the exception of ending up with a monster sinus infection after removal of my root canaled tooth. I now know that was because I had undiagnosed adrenal exhaustion during this time as well as undiagnosed Lyme Disease and Lyme Co-Infections. My body just was dealing with so much, the extraction threw me over the edge.

Having said that though, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. My dentist felt that my root canaled tooth was causing more of a strain on my immune system then the mercury was.

I also have candida. And that, along with the hopes of getting rid of a chronic epstein barr virus, is the reason I did my health dental revision when I did.

It worked. Soon after my healthy dental revision my chronic epstein barr virus went into remission. The candida, however, still remains and probably won't go away until I do some sort of formal or applied chelation.

I hope this helps.
