Hey Eric, How do you recognise an amalgam dump vs. exposure? I think that is rather hard to do until more research is done. Either condition would be handled the same way, however, at least for now?until we know more about mercury detox as a science. I'm going to have that wisdom tooth removed, instead of having it drilled. Seems the best way, and it's an extraneous tooth anyway. Is there any indication that a tooth extraction stirs up merucury in the same way that drilling does? I've never seen scientific information on this, however, I imagine tooth extraction would mobilize much less mercury than amalgam removal because the amalgam is not drilled the same way or to the same extent as with amalgam removal. One thing to be aware of here. Many dentists don't remove the periodontal nerve all the way to the jaw, which?according to the information I've read?causes chronic infection, and worse, the bacteria in the infection creates sulphur compounds. These compounds are especially harmful to mercury toxic people and can cause darkened discoloring at the gumline. This darkening (according to Haley) is cause by metal concentrations bound by the sulphur groups. Other sources I've read say this condition (the periodontal nerve left behine) can cause a number of health issues that are not associated with dentistry in mainstream medicine. Perhaps this is something to speak to your dentist about before the procedure.
