Hi Bex, The dentist I work for is mainstream sad to say, a regular general dentist. Fortunately we have over the years phased out amalgam fillings however thet may still do a few (especially in kids). Figure that one out, (the sooner we can poison them the better?) The closest bio dentist is an hour away and I am on the email alert for hygiene jobs... I'd switch in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity but havn't seen any openings there. There is none in my local viscinity. I am grateful that I do not get as sick as you and so many others (maybe I got used to it after 25 yrs). I feel no different after being there a day as opposed to a day off. More than anything, my diet seems to affect me the most- what I eat or don't eat! Its huge! Nonetheless I know its best for me to not be there if I had a choice. I used to work with a woman dentist 23 yrs ago and knew her quite well but we lost touch. I ran into her husband about a year ago and we chatted for a few minutes to catch up. Well, shes in a mental institution now! He said she freaked out, went over the edge and into the psycho house she goes! Well I know deep inside what is probably the cause. I remember assisting her and she seemed very quiet, but sometimes borderline violent with the patient if she got frustrated. (Not uncommon for those of us toxic people).
My heart goes out to her especially cause she has 2 kids also. I am sorry that the dental office is such an extreme case for you. What do you do? Bio dentist? Is it much better there?
