Thankyou so much for your support, i dont feel so alone now. Yesterday if it hadnt been for me going to work i would have gone down to that surgery and ripped that dentists head off, i was so angry i thought i would die of heart failiure. Im dealing with the mother in law too, she is a very strong opinionated woman and we have had major arguments in the past but i swear this time im never speaking to
her again. the thing is her friend works there on the reception and has informed her theres absolutely no danger in mercury as when it sets it cant escape, if only i had some proof that it does leek out 24 hrs a day. , i just explained that under no circumstance should she get any amalgam but my opinions and wishes arnt worth it, they mean nothing.
the dentist said he hole is deep but small on the first molar, she may need a root canal, he filled it with mercury bcause he said a composite would react, i dont know what he meant.
he wants her back in 14 days to see if the pain is still there if so then a root canal is needed, if pain is gone he would drill iut amalgam and put composite in, he has never heard of a rubber dam, this is why i booked in for a mercury free dentist in london, they provide all protection. here in the Uk children dont pay for amalgam, so it was free,
i dont know what to do if the dentist in london says she needs a root canal, i dont know wether to get the tooth pulled or a root canal, i know they are dangerous, Hal Huggins says they are more dangerous than amalgam, i dont know if he is right. i would be willing to pay for a tooth implant later on down the line though its such a shame shes only 13 and everyday i drummed it into her that she must look after her teeth.
