My dentist is a homeopath, but he doesn't necessarily encourage removal of all the mercury in your mouth.  It's kind of like asbestos:  it's usually best left undisturbed, it's only when distributed into the air that it becomes a problem.  Care is needed.

That certainly was a horrific experience.
It's good you found a dentist that cared enough to take the time to do the job right. Some, or most I should say, dentists don't realize how dangerous it is to have all that mercury flying around when they try to drill out a mercury filling. Its not only dangerous for the patient, but for them too - the fumes, so that also has to be dealt with properly with the ventilation. It's alot of work if done the right way. I shouldn't be worried about the toxins in my body from a few fillings. My house is in the flight path of 2 airports, and that is probably alot worse for me breathing in those fumes;o)

Glad it worked out for you.

Speaking of mercury fillings, a number of years ago I had a horrific experience at one of those low income dental clinics.  It was such a nightmare that I vowed never to set foot into that clinic ever again...

I had gone in with a problem with my bite.  I specifically told the dentist that I don't want amalgam or mercury filling to correct the problem.  I was in that office for a couple of hours, which was agony, since I have TMJ dysfunction, too, and the bite block wasn't used for some reason.  I can't remember why it wasn't used.  The dentist only complained that her back was in misery.  When it was all finished, I looked in the mirror and discovered that there was a silver colored filling where I had had the composite filling years before that.  You should've seen how pale I turned when I saw that.  I was horrified.  It was years later that I was lucky that a dental student managed to spend hours and hours to carefully remove the amalgam fillings that had replaced the composite filling I had paid good money for out-of-pocket.  He repaired the damage without my losing more of my tooth.  I am so grateful that he took so much effort to repair the amalgam.  I have health issues that the amalgam was clearly making worse and that low-income dental clinic dentist didn't even care.

I didn't know it at the time that the amalgam was being removed, but the amalgam should've been removed by a specialist, since it can cause problems for both the dentist and the patient if not done correctly.  I have no doubt that I still have heavy metals in my system from the mercury.

This was such a horrific experience that I have since warned my friends and associates to steer clear of this particular low-income dental clinic.  I would not be able to see a dentist than to ever step foot into that clinic ever again.  I will also never trust any of the dentists at any of the low-income dental clinics ever again.

"My dentist, a homeopath, has had a petition against mercury in fillings and against fluoride in water for so many years, it's just so futile"

That's good that you have a homepath dentist. I have to find one because I have a couple of mercury fillings in the back that I want removed and you need someone that really knows what they are doing to do that.  

I had a blood test several years ago and I have alot of mercury in my system.. There is a video on Utube with a dentist rubbing a mercury filling and using some kind of x-ray thing or whatever (can't remember) and the vapors of the mercury coming off the tooth is frightning..

Yeah so I have to get these mercury fillings removed. But finding a dentist that really does it correctly will be the challenge.

"estrogen is very contraversial, a cardio dr will say no a gyno will say yes",
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah its amazing isn't it? Depending on which doc you speak to, you will get a different answer. Its really scary sometimes.

I hope things work out for you soon.

Yup, exactly what happened to me.  Docs at the ER said everything's fine, then 15 years later I had a lower back problem and went to a chiropractor and he took an X-ray, noticed my cervical spine was degenerated and asked, to the year, if I had an auto accident at such and such a time.  I went to the orthopedist, who sent me to a physical therapist, who gave me some exercises to do, and I still do them, but it is confining.  I personally take natural antiinflammatories for it so I can stay as active as possible, but I sure wish that idiot at the ER had told me to at least get massage or something!
