Hi! New here, been lurking a while...

Have decided to get my 6 remaining amalgams out (due to MAJOR unresolved health problems possibly due to a broken amalgam tooth 2 Decembers ago), and have gotten a quote from the only Huggins-approved dentist in the state.

The price he quoted is almost half of my year's salary - way, way too high!!

Since I'm already sick as a dog, should I go into debt to go to this dentist since he's Huggins approved? Or should I go to a different biological dentist who follows a lot of the Huggins protocol, but doesn't charge an arm, leg and first-born child to do it?

My husband recently had his amalgams removed by a non-Huggins dentist a LOT closer to home and has no problems (so far), but he was not sick at all to begin with.

I don't know what to do!

Are the Huggins dentists worth the price they charge? Has anybody here ever went to a Huggins-approved dentist? I'm just afraid this Huggins dentist will do the same thing the other biologic dentist will do, at 3x the price - is it worth it?

Also, if anybody has ever had amalgams replaced by Drs. Rothchild or Boehm in Hoffman Estates, IL - I would LOVE to talk to you & see if they're worth the price!!

Any advice/commentary on my amalgam-replacement options would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
