The only reason I would suggest having two or more done at one session, is simply because the dentist is using local anaesthetic on you each time. This in itself is toxic too believe me.

So if you have one done and then another done at another appointment, and so on, you are getting a dose of anaesthetic each time and in pretty much the same area....

This is why my dentist wanted to take two out in each quadrant at once to cut down on appointments and anaesthetics.

But again that is up to you. I understand what you're saying sunshine, in regards to amalgam, but anaesthetic is also something one would want to limit too....it's a bit of a dilemma.

If the dentist numbs one quadrant area, and removes the two amalgams there at the same session, it'll save you having to have that same area numbed again the next time.

As for me? I had dental work done recently and I have no amalgams, but had composites redone in porcelain. I have been very sick just from the local anesthetics. I limited it as much as I could and only had two appointments. 4 teeth were done at each appointment.

Had I spaced this out more? I don't know how I would have coped, if I"m barely coping as it is. I realise I am more sensitive than some people might be, but I think it's a balance of limiting amalgam drilling exposure in one session, but also limiting ongoing anaesthetic exposure too with having too many appointments.

I would also space out your appointments too because eachtime you get dental work done, you need time to recover. Possibly a few weeks inbetween.
