The safety protocol will be double suction, rubber dam and oxygen mask. I'm not in the best of health atm, physically and mentally, kind of ride a roller coaster, somedays feel quite good and others not so. This has a lot to do with the fact I have an intenstinal parasite. I lost around 17kg rapidly 18 months ago and so far have gained nearly 1/2 back. My concern is maybe it's not a good idea to go through with it at this stage as I might not be able to cope with the extra burden, so maybe I should wait out untill I am better. I only have 2 fillings, the dentist did tell me some patients get suicidal in the first 3 days post removal. Is there an estimate to how much mercury exposure would be reduced with the above safety protocol? 80%? 90%? I have 2 fillings and they will be removed at the same session. He also recommended I take high doses of selenium for 3 weeks prior and i havent done that yet...
