Hi Spit,

One of the worst things you could do is have gold put in a mouth that already has amalgam. Mixing metals together can increase the toxicity of both, and the battery effect in the mouth (galvanisim). This can increase the release of mercury from amalgam, increase the toxic effects etc. I remember what happened with my Mother when she had gold put in when she had alot of amalgam. I can almost pinpoint the deterioration from that time onwards.

Same thing happened to me when braces went onto my teeth. Even before the wire got put on, I just had the studs on my teeth and that was enough to cause a marked deterioration in health. Only after hte braces finally came off was there a faint improvement, but because I got so toxic with them on, my health was never quite the same again.

You might want to take a look at this link for a possible healthier alternative. If you're interested, you'll need to look around for a cerec dentist who has had experience with placing them.

I actually went to a cerec dentist who was one of the best at placing cerec porclain (he was actually an instructor). He did an excellent job. Though not a biologic dentist and he still used amalgam, he was "mechanically" a very good dentist. He even found some remaining amalgam under some of my old composites and removed it for me before he put in the cerec. Though of course, I had no protection! So that was not wise of me, but it was only a small amount thankfully.

However, I would normally advise a person see a biologic dentist if they have amalgams and want them removed. There maybe some great mainstream dentists around, but when it comes to mercury? they do not appear to be concerned or open regarding its dangers, even though the dangers are well documented. There are places who have banned mercury! I think Sweden is one.

There is little excuse IMO for any dentist to still be using this poison, given the amount of information there is out there now about it and the many victims of it's toxic effects. There are PLENTY of alternatives to this neurotoxin.
