So I'm thinking about doing what I can, and remove it with a local dentist using a rubber dam. It's better than no protection.
But I also don't have a nasal oxygen mask.
So I'm thinking about making an improvised one, maybe sticking a couple of long tubes into my nostrils and filling my nostrils with something like plasticine around the tubes, so that I can breath though those tubes. Maybe put those tubes out of the window or into some improvised container. Again, it's far from ideal, but it would be better than nothing.

If you have similar experience or have any other suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them.

Hello FreddyMercury,
I'm sorry to say, that by just doing as you stated above will not protect all the other people in the office, dentist, and assistant. I hope I can get this link for you to read and listen to. A lot of Mercury vapor comes into the room and affects all those in the room. The suction and water spray help capture the mercury, and the patients get oxygen. (I will turn the light on, in case Russ Tanner, our (administrator) wants to add anything to this.
