Hi Heluvsme yeah yeah yeah
If the filling is the color of metal then it is an amalgam filling and is full of mercury.
If the filling is white then it is probably not mercury. But the white composites are still full of other nasty things that people react to as well. Some people react badly to some of these composite fillings. When I was bio-compatibility tested I was fine for 30 dental products and not fine for 20….so its more than possible yr daughter could be getting a reaction from even just a composite filling and a metal crown (even if there is no mercury around.)
If the crown is metal this creates an electrical current in the mouth. It is especially bad if you have two different types of metal in the mouth. A battery effect.
Composite fillings can be made of lead, tin, copper, and likely a combination of metals even if they are white in color.
So a crown and a composite filling could cause a reaction, even if they are not mercury.
Speak to your holistic dentist….did he fit the crown and composite himself?
Generally when having a dental cleanup …the crowns are lifted and checked underneath for amalgam as this is the only way to be 100pct sure. I would suggest that for your daughter. I would also suggest bio-compatibility testing for both of you. Again speak with your holistic dentist about how to do that, he should be aware. Lab work or muscle testing.
As Bex said, “Amalgam Illness” by Andrew Cutler is essential reading. I am following his protocol and it’s working fine for me so far. the best $35 you can spend right now....its explains many mercury problems and how to avoid the pitfalls of mercury detox. You can also self diagnose mercury poisoning from the book too.
Remember amalgam removal is just the beginning of getting well. After amalgam removal the mercury still needs to be removed from your body stores….thats what the cutler protocol does…allows you to safely detox the mercury in a manor you can control.
Welcome, ask lots of questions and good luck! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
