Monday I went to the dentist and had to have my filling in my molar out, as we were afraid my tooth would crack. My other molar cracked over the summer and I had the filling out with no problem. Was able to avoid a root canal and had a porcelain crown.
I had the filling out-the hygienist used high suction while he drilled...aack-now I read how it was done wrong.
As I said...I had no problem a few months ago. However, yesterday and today I am having a flare of symptoms. Could be coincidence...but what do I do now to "mop up" the mercury?
I am dizzy, nauseous and muscle aches...haven't had a bad herx in a while Posts: 1276 | From maryland | Registered: Jan 2009

No, I don't think it's a coincidence.
My doc adamantly insisted that I only use a biological dentist. I did and I was still dizzy and had muscle aches with one section of work I had done. It passed though in a few days. That said, I was in much better shape than when I went to a regular dentist to have one done a few years ago. Biological dentists do much more to protect you, and guide you. Plus, their vacuum is stronger too (mercury fumes).
I guess the answer to your question would depend on if you still had more amalgam work to do. My dentist only recommends taking something before and on the day of removal for people who still have amalgam work to do. I got the feeling though she didn't even want me to have that until all my amalgams were out. I also got the same feeling from an ART practitioner I saw. But then she recommended chlorella.
I think more bio dentists are starting to question moving the mercury out until all amalgams are out (you don't want it to re circulate it, which can be even worse).
I guess you could try chlorella, modified fruit pectin, bentonite clay, etc. I just rested and worked on supporting my immune system and it went away in a few days.
I hope you feel better soon. :)

Did they use a dam to prevent any swollening of old mercury filling? Yes I agree with Cat, use chlorella to mop up and help detox.

No damn-I mentioned it and my dentist said the hygienist was holding the suction the whole time he was drilling so I didn't need one.
I don't have chorella, but I will take some pectin. I have 1 more large amalgam, and 2 really tiny one left. I was tested for mercury when I first got sick from my LLMD and it was on the high side of normal-
I now only eat wild caught low mercury fish.

Sorry folks, but dental vacuums are all the same. Natural dentists, reg. dentists... they all have the same vacuums to buy from dental supply companies. (I have sold them for years)
"Plus, their vacuum is stronger too (mercury fumes)."
BUT.. the dentist SHOULD have used a rubber dam. A good dentist, no matter natural or regular, should use a rubber/latex free dam. If they don't, they want to be able to do the procedure faster and get you out of the chair and get the next $ one in the chair. Plain and simple.
There are some instances that you can not use a dam, but most procedures you can. (gumline are the hardest to use a dam and then still drill without getting the bur caught in the dam).

Check your PMs. The name of one of the doctors I gave you is a great biological dentist who will help you with mercury detox. He is an expert.

I had a filling re done a few years ago. Unfortunately, the dentist never used a vacuum like the one used at the biological dentists office. The dentist used suction, but not a vacuum to catch the mercury vapors.
I also asked my regular dentist about a vacuum for the vapors (not the biolgical dentist). He doesn't have one. He has suction, but not a vacuum. There's more to it than just a vacuum (more protection).

Charcoal is good to take, too. That's what hospitals give people for mercury poisioning - I believe.
Mercury vapor is different than mercury in food. It's handled differently by the body.
It's good to be careful but what's done is done. You may want to consider a different dentist next time. You'd think that the dentist would want to protect him/herself at least...
If they drop any of that stuff down your throat - it could be a lawsuit. Not to mention breathing the vapors, for you, the dentist & the assistant...

PS - I think the "biological dentists" may use an air filter. This may be what you are calling a vacuum, catgirl...? I read about it but I haven't gone to a biological dentist recently.
One I went to quoted me 5 times more money to do the work I needed done than the regular dentist. I'm sure there are good ones but the ones I saw kind of reminded me of con artists.

Dental vacuums are all the same. There are no machines that are made differently. There are no air filters that are sold differently.
I truly do not have any reason to lie about this.
I just want to let everyone know that these 'methods' of what your bio dentists tell you are a myth.
It's a selling point, it's a mind over matter, it's a money making thing to the public.
It's methods that they tweat in how they state them to the public.
There is nothing sold that is different period.
I had LOTS of bio/natural dentists as my accounts buying the same thing that the regular dentists buy. I asked my bio/natural assistants that did the ordering HOW they could state things differently to the public.....
You do not want to know their answers.
I'm not selling anything to anyone in here.... I'm just stating facts from what I know. Please do not be sucked into all this hype.
A lot of bio/natural dentists could not make it in the real world of dentistry, as they had shotty dentistry and poor management. They saw money signs going into bio/natural as people will believe in natural and go with it no matter what.
Please just be smart..... sparkle you were one of the smart ones. I'm sure there might be good ones out there,but again, they all buy the SAME products from the same dental supply companies.

I totally agree with hadlyme...there aren't different products.
My dentist actually had lyme and looked into mercury toxicity etc. I called him after filling removal
He said it would have been hard to put a dental dam on back molar...which is why he had the hygienist hold the suction the whole time right next to the tooth.
Anyways-I feel back to baseline today...I think my "herx" may have been from the diflucan I took-hadn't taken one in a few weeks. Posts: 1276 | From maryland | Registered: Jan 2009

Sparkle, it's a vacuum with a wide mouth (looks like a funnel) that either sits on the patient's chest, or the patient holds. It is much louder than the suction that goes in a patient's mouth. Then the assistant holds the suction, and the dentist does the work. There is no way for the assistant to do both.
Hadlyme, I hear what you're saying. I've heard it all that biological dentists are quacks ripping people off. I thought everything you said too. However, my dentist didn't do half the things the biological dentist did.
Regular dentists just don't get it. They are also very angry that they are losing business They either have to wake up to the fact that removing mercury is a bigger and more dangerous issue than they are willing to admit, or they will lag behind. So they bad mouth the biological dentists. One of my dentists did.
Remember Schopenhauer: All truth passes through three stages: First it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Sure there are bad biological and bad regular dentists. You have to ask others for referrals.
Beths, glad you're feeling better. Good luck and best wishes to those of you who are going to go through this.
Peace.
