 How do I replace my amalgam fillings?
Most of my teeth (Except the front ones) have amalgam fillings. I'd like to get
them (the amalgam fillings) replaced. I have a couple questions. Is there a
special procedure on getting the fillings out and replacing them? Or does the
dentist simply drill it out, and put the non-toxic material in? What material
can I replace them with? My back top and bottom teeth have amalgam, so
obviously I would need a material that was strong yet non toxic. I know this
will be pretty expensive. Any other thoughts or comments would be great. Thanks

How do I replace my amalgam fillings? Find a doc and dentist who know about replacing amalgams. If it's done wrong, there is a risk of exposure. Call the IAOMT or DAMS for a referrral to a dentist who knows what they're doing re: amalgam removals. Don't go to a dentist who has not had the proper training. www.iaomt.org

How do I replace my amalgam fillings? Geeze, I've been replacing an average of 5-10 defective amalgams per day (with crowns, onlays or composites), but since I'm not a member of IAOMT or DAMS, I must be too inept to remove amalgams properly. Is that malpractice? Rusty,
Please realize that there is no American Dental Association recognized
specialty of "amalgam removal." In fact, the ADA does not condone the idea
of removing sound amalgams for erroneously perceived health benefits. If
you want 'em out for cosmetic reasons, then go to a dentist that your
friends and family recommend and are happy with.

How do I replace my amalgam fillings? Here's an interesting blurb from th IAOMT's website: "The I.A.O.M.T. has established a "Standards of Care" Program for clinical
practitioners. Straying afield from the "Standards of Care" Program may be a
threat to your licensure and personal livelihood!"
That's a pretty bold statement from an organization with no regulatory
authority over any of the health professions. They are more impotent than
Bob Dole before Viagra.

How do I replace my amalgam fillings? Another gem from IAOMT: "New Research Connects Mercury to Alzheimer's Disease!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Research Conducted at the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine has
demonstrated that trace amounts of mercury can cause the type of damage to
nerves that is characteristic of the damage found in Alzheimer's Disease.
The level of mercury exposure is consistent with those levels found in
humans with mercury / silver amalgam dental fillings (AND WITH LEVELS FOUND
IN HUMANS WITHOUT MERCURY/SILVER AMALGAM DENTAL FILLINGS...BUT THE IAOMT
FAILS TO MENTION THIS LITTLE IMPORTANT FACT...THE ARGUMENT IS NOT WHETHER
MERCURY IS HARMFUL....BUT WHETHER AMALGAM FILLINGS RELEASE ENOUGH MERCURY TO
BE HARMFUL) The exposure to mercury caused the formation of "neurofibrillar
tangles", which are one of the two diagnostic markers for Alzheimer's
Disease. The scientists found that other metals, including aluminum, did not
cause the damage. Previous research has shown that mercury can cause the
formation of the other Alzheimer's Disease diagnostic marker, "amyloid
plaques."
The research, published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, is accompanied
by video visual presentation of the effect. Utilizing digital time-lapse
photography, this video shows rapid damage to the nerve cells after
introduction of minute amounts of mercury. Funding for this video was
provided by the International Academy of {*filter*}Medicine and Toxicology
(IAOMT). "
The research done in Calgary was to determine if a relationship exists
between mercury and Alzheimers. This was NOT a dental amalgam study.
MISAPPLIED conclusions here bill!

How do I replace my amalgam fillings? How do I word it? Do I simply say "I need a dentist who is knowledgeable in taking out amalgam fillings the "right" way"? Also, what material should I replace the amalgam with? I am mostly concerned for my back teeth as they get used the most for chewing, so I would want something strong. Thanks. << Find a doc and dentist who know about replacing
amalgams. If it's done wrong, there is a risk of
exposure. Call the IAOMT or DAMS for a referrral
to a dentist who knows what they're doing re:
amalgam removals. Don't go to a dentist who
has not had the proper training.

It should be! ANY dentists who denys that mercury amalgams are safe does NOT know thew proper protocol for removing them. Quote: >Rusty,
>Please realize that there is no American Dental Association recognized
>specialty of "amalgam removal."
VERY BAD advice! The ADA has been lying for YEARS! They even got caught in their lies,,,,,,,,and then made up a new one! Whatever you do Rustly PLEASE talk with one who has had the metal removed!
All of the dentists here with the exception of Hans from Sweden are in complete
DENIAL of the known risks of both mercury amalgams AND root canals.
If I can help you more please e-mail me privately.

How do I replace my amalgam fillings? How do I go about finding an holistic dentist? Do I just start calling dentists and ask them "are you holistic"? Also, what should I replace the amalgam with. I want durability especially on the back teeth. 1 more thing, what tests do I get to see if these amalgam fillings are doing harm or at high levels? Thank you << Absolutely!

Ask them if they believe mercury amalgams can be dangerous, if they say no,,,,,,,,run like the devil! Quote: >Also, what should I replace the amalgam with.
You will need a compatibility test to see what composite to use. Quote: >I want durability especially on the back teeth. 1 more thing, what tests do I

Find a doc who is open to alt. medicine, ask for a {*filter*} test for mercury levels. Warning: It may not show up if deeply embedded in the tissue. This is a good place for testing

I wonder what it means when everyone thinks one way and only a few (taking nothing away from Hans) think the opposite. Either the few are on the cutting edge (which may be the case) or they are wrong or worse. Charlie Ruff, DMD

How do I replace my amalgam fillings? Charlie, If you talk to Hans about it he will tell you there is no proof directly
connecting amalgam to health risks. He is concerned about the impact on the
eco-system of mercury in all forms, and is very concerned that a connection
will be found in the future. He says it is about reducing even potential
risks.
Hans, feel free to correct me if I put the wrong words in your mouth.
