I would think they could knock out 4 fillings in one visit. I had 5 removed today in one sitting - not bad at all.

In regards to pain, the whole procedure is quite painless (in my case anyway). These days, they even numb the area with a topical numbing agent before giving you the novocaine shot, which makes the injection barely noticeable. Honestly, the procedure was mildly uncomfortable, but certainly not painful.

Oh hell no, there's no way I'd live with the mercury poisoning. This is serious business; I take my health very seriously and am very careful about how I treat my body (If only the ADA were even a fraction as concerned). On the one hand, I'm mighty pi#$ed about what has been done to me; on the other, I'm relieved to finally have discovered the source of my problems.

Are experiencing symptoms, or is this just a precautionary measure? Good luck to you.
