1) Re crossing the meridian.

Don’t take the chance. There is a chance it will screw you up crossing the meridian and avoiding that pitfall is easy. It takes a long time to unscrewed afterwards. It’s as simple as booking a second appointment and asking the dentist to do what you want him to do. Just make sure the second appointment is not 7 or 14 or 21 days after the last amalgam removal. For the sake of 1 or 2 weeks why that the chance? You’ve had the amalgams in there for years anyway…another couple of weeks in yr mouth is no big deal for one amalgam. (maybe call him on the telephone before hand to discuss, which will make it easier tomorrow for the appointment.)

2) charges of the teeth? Hal Huggins talks about this a lot. He takes out the highest voltages reading amalgams first. i think it was just his experience after many many removals that this method caused the least problems. Not all dentists think this way, so it may or may not be a problem. Given enough time and planning I chose to have mine out in this order, from highest reading to the lowest. I guess I was lucky because the dentist I chose did this as standard.

But….what do you do now? I assume you want to go thought with it tomorrow……to get the show on the road….!

A lot will depend on your current health status. The healthier you are the better. If you are quite sick….then you should use extreme caution on removal and take as few chances as possible.

What I would do is have them removed in two appointments, one appointment per quadrant. I would get the biggest amalgam out first.

If the dentist does do the meter readings ,……then get the readings done….if not…I would get the biggest out first. that’s how mine worked….my biggest amalgams gave me the biggest readings (note: I a guessing here in this biggest thing…..so this is just an educated guess and feel free to shoot me down if you feel this is wrong.)

One thing to remember, whatever you do, however you do it, however safe you are …….. you will always get a dose of mercury upon removal. always, it is unavoidable, a nessessary evil.

Rubber dam and oxygen are the most important safety precautions of all and removal should NOT be done without them ever IMHO.

Good luck.
