Hi. I had 1 amalgam removed on Wed. That is the only one I had.

Now (Sun) it is still a pretty sensitive and uncomfortable to chew on that side..

It's not excruciating or anything, just wondering if it is normal to still feel discomfort 5 days later.

The removal was done by a biodentist who is very good.

You might have him look at it to be sure the filling isn't hitting wrong. It could just need filing down.

It's normal for fillings to be sensitive to heat/cold for some time.

I get mine out in less than 10 days! woo hoo

Thanks - I am also having some weird pains from the KPU treatment so it's kind of hard to tell, but I guess it's mostly sensitivity.

If it's not better soon I'll give my dentist a call.

Good luck canefan [Smile]

I have one old mercury filling in mouth that will

be removed next week. However about 1 1/2 yrs

ago I had a bridge put in and I feel that my

head has never been the same. My most dibilitat-

ing symptom is head pressure and I wonder if

this bridge had something to do w/it. What can

be done. I can't have a big hole in my mouth

and yet my stiff neck and braing pressure can

be traced to that time. Diagnosed igenix

Lyme/babs/bart/Fry-anaplasma and hemobart +.

Finishing 6 month on mepron and various combos.

Still no relief for head pressure yet air hunger

completely gone and stiff neck 50% better. Do

you think my dental work is too blame?

I definitely think it plays a role in it. Any time I've had dental work done, it appears to have messed up my bite causing IMO a huge TMJ issue.

When you think about it, the dentist is changing your entire bite.

tickalert,

How is he changing your bite?
