Evereyone is different and reacts differently to removal. Depends how mercury toxic you are. Depends how bad your current health is. But knowing that in advance is tricky…..so best to play it safe.

When I got 1 amalgam replaced, without protection, it totally screwed me up. totally screwed up my life. That was 1 year ago now and I’m finally getting better, but for 6 months it was hell. My life had to be radically changed to accommodate my screwed up health. After that I took it real easy with amalgam removal. One quadrant at a time. Each quadrant took 1 month to recover from. Upon removal I had nightmare symptoms for 4 days, then they repeated 7 days later and 14 days later and again 21 days later. That was will full protection and safe protocol and removal order. Each time the symptoms where slightly less, but still …… it was a bloody ‘mare.

I see people having problems with removal every week on these mercury forums.

If you are gonna remove the mercury you need to do it correctly first time around because you don’t get ANY second chances with this $hit. I’m sorry to scare you, but there is no need to take any chances.

You have 3 quadrants there. So ideally you should play it safe and have 3 appointments.

Have one out…see how you feel. If you feel fine get the next one out a few days later. If you feel fine…..then you can have all three quadrants done in 8-10 days. Just not 7/14/21 days after each removal.

I don’t know if your dentist uses a rubber dam and oxygen but…..i will repeat what I said earlier “Rubber dam and oxygen are the most important safety precautions of all and removal should NOT be done without them ever IMHO.”

The only reason you are hesitating is because it’s a pain in the arse to change the appointment and re-arrange the appointments. Cost will be the same. Its just hassle…I know…I rushed it and got hurt.

If you read “its all in your head” by Hal Huggins – all will be explained.

Good luck
