Someone who can safely remove mercury fillings

Every dentist in the country can safely remove silver amalgam fillings. Biologic dentists market themselves to people with chronic illness, prey on their fears and give them false hope in order to gain profit. They are scammers IMHO. There is no proven health risk of having filling removed, placed or sitting in your mouth. I dont want to start a debate on it here as these threads usually end with some nut who can use google screaming about how dentists want to kill their patients.

I didn't come here to start a debate or ask for opinions. I just wanted to know if anyone browsing the forum had been to a biological dentist.

Try getting anything done to an amalgam filling while you are pregnant. It's kind of funny watching all the dentists jump back in horror. They clearly don't believe there is no health risk.

Its not cause they think there is a health risk, its cause they think you will blame them if you have a miscarriage.

That's news to me, Eileen

Some pregnant women dislike having things in their mouth lest they throw up but other than that I can see no reason not to provide dental treatment to them.

I have all my fillings removed and composite fillings put in for health reasons a few years back (no difference). All dentists are able to do this and in the USA amalgam fillings will become extinct. My dentist is not doing amalgam anymore for anyone.

Well there is a sweeping generalisation if ever I heard one. :rolleyes:

I have no problem whippin out an amalgam in a pregnant lady, and putting a new one in. Anytime, anywhere. I'll even do it in the delivery room if I have to (look out!! dentist comin through!!)

so that's your surgery in that ad where that annoying one takes the slow handpiece and goes off on a bus and across the road and it still goes ok??
tell me, where did you get the extra long tubing? it wasn't from henry schein anyway!
anyway op, away to here with you.

personally, it's a load of bollox. excuse the language, but there really is no other way to describe the shyte they have on this site. infra red saunas?? ffs.

The practitioners are trained and qualified in different kinds of bio-compatibility testing. This will determine whether a foreign material, such as a dental filling, may be tolerated by the body. Test options include Autonomic Response Testing, Body Terrain Management and serum allergy blood testing. Each test has its merits and limitations.

what this bit here means is, the people who work there have eyes, and can tell a fool the minute they walk through the door.

Three different dentists refused to take out the remains of a mercury filling while I was pregnant. I ended up with a horrendous patch job which cut my tongue until after I give birth. Even then, only one dentist would touch it because I was breastfeeding.

I have been a dentist for 10 years and have not problem taking out broken fillings silver or otherwise of pregnant women. I dont know any dentists that would....HOWEVER if you go in and say "Dr. I am concerned that taking out these fillings will harm my unborn baby or contaminate my breast milk" the dentist will usually agree with you for a easy life.

the mercury used in fillings is inert, it's been mixed with other metals like silver and copper and will do no harm if swallowed. the drill used has a triple spray which prevents the filling that's being drilled from vapourising so that it can be safely removed by the suction. the only time amalgam fillings are problematic is at extremely high temperatures, which the human body should only experience at cremation.
they may have had issues with the anaesthetic that's used, as one type can induce labour.
anyway, the eu has banned mercury transport that comes into effect in a couple of years or so, so then it'll be back to people complaining about the high price of white fillings again.

i know your spelling is bad, but grammar??!!!

And the fact that white filling leak like a sieve unless placed extremely carefully.

Oh deary me, what have I started?! Why do people have to be so ****ty with each other, if everyone here met each other in a pub and had a discussion about the subject would people be so obnoxious?

I was just looking for some information from people who might know a little about the topic, yet all I got was "Biologic dentists market themselves to people with chronic illness, prey on their fears and give them false hope in order to gain profit" and "personally, it's a load of bollox. excuse the language, but there really is no other way to describe the shyte they have on this site".

Have ye no respect for other people's opinions? Some people here need to grow up a little bit.

ballsymchugh

i have respect for people's (peer reviewed) researched and learned opinions when it comes to this. i don't have time for people who hear something somewhere and take it as gospel.

I respect the opinions of professionals with training and experience so much that I pay a lot of good money for it. You're getting it for free here. Just don't make the mistake of thinking a professional's opinion is at the same level as anecdote or once-off experiences.

I did not say that. I went in and said "Rip it out and fix it up." Until then, I had been convinced that the stuff about mercury was a lot of hype. It was the reaction of the dentists themselves that convinced me there was something in it.

I dont like where this is going again, every time a thread starts on this topic it always ends up here. Think its best to close this one now. Thanks All. In answer to the OP's question. There is no such thing as a non biological dentist so any dentist will do, ask a friends for a recommendation or check the sticky at the top of the thread. If you don't want to listen to the answers and opinions from the dentists on hear then best to ask elsewhere.
