I am looking for anyone here that has some personal experience with a biological dentist. After stubbornly sticking my head in the sand for several years and am now ready to take the first step towards amalgam removal per my LLMD "insistence".
I found a female bio-dentist who is local. I will talk with someone from her office next week. What are the important things I need to ask and be aware of?
Thanks for your help!

google Dr.Hall Huggins; he has info about mercury-free dentistry, and other things to look out for.
The dentist has to be very careful about how they remove the amalgam, so they don't just redistribute the mercury in you. They need to use a dental dam, not do too many teeth at once, and advise you about doing IV vitamin C and/or other measures to mop up the mercury release.
Do a search here, too.

Just posted this on another thread.
Rubber damn Mesh draping over face Oxygen supply (nose) Elephant suction near mouth Charcoal block under tongue
My dentist wore what looked like a haz mat suit with eye gear and face mask - the kind with filters for hazardous materials. There was also air treatment in the room.
Seems like there was more. There are websites dedicated to the safe removal of amalgams.
My dentists website is pretty good - grotondentalwellness.com

They also tested me for compatible replacement materials for the fillings.

I seriously need to get this done..with 10 large amalgam fillings. But absolutely can not financially afford it. Is there charitable help for stuff like this? seems to me that the dentists who put them there should have to pay for it *angry face*

I was just at the dentist today, and he discovered the _beginnings_ of a cavity
It's in one of my wisdom teeth - dentist likes patients to keep wisdom teeth when they can - have to agree for moment anyway - no way I can handle extraction at this point.
My dentist takes a very progressive stance on health issues, but is not a biological dentist.
According to the Mercola site, porcelain is the way to go with fillings - but my cavity would have to be made significantly larger to fit a porcelain, according to him - also the decay on the molar is a spider-type shape - according to my dentist, a shape that porcelain cannot realistically be molded into.

I've called a local biological dentist, they use a product called, "Diamondlite".
"Diamond Lite and Diamond Crown restorative materials are no longer used in this practice due to concerns about their un-predictable longterm wear and sealing qualities."
I'm trying to e-mail them; asking them what they do as an alternative for very small cavities.
Do you have any knowledge of different composites / Diamondlite?
Best,
