I have been doing a lot of research about this: In D.C. if you want to travel NIHA is good, I checked with several patients and they all recommend Dr. Mark McClure at NIHA. At NIHA they do muscle testing and use ozone for cavitations.

Mercury is bad. Don't let them put it in your mouth.
There are many mercury free dentists so that's easy to find. Finding someone who will pull a tooth properly (i.e. no infection afterwards) or save a tooth, is a lot harder.
If I knew then what I know now, I may not have 5 root canals in my mouth.

I use a bio dentist in Plainsboro, NJ. She is great and does not cost any more than a regular non-bio dentist. She takes insurance. She does not do any energy testing etc. but does replace fillings/crowns with non-metals. PM me if you want her name.

Thanks everyone. I tried to be cautious about dental work. I had most of my mercury amalgam fillings replaced with composite. I have 2 silver ones left. I haven't been to a dentist in a while. I guess time & age can bring things to a head...
I'm going to try to avoid any root canals. I don't have any as of yet. Is there any alternative in case this becomes an issue?
They told me that the cavaties are deep & they don't know if I will need a root canal or not. They won't know until they start drilling.
I have an old wisdom tooth that is in bad shape so they figured it's easier to remove it than to try to save it. Do you have any advice about how to do this in a more "holistic or bio-compatible" way?
I mean, if it's decayed enough & it's not hugely useful - if it's removed, will it matter all that much?
I looked at some charts of how teeth are related to organs, etc. I mean people still live "healthy" lives without their teeth. So, it may not be the huge issue they make it out to be... Maybe I'm wrong?
Yes, I will avoid any mercury but how do we know if the composits are any better? I guess some dentists do bio-compatibility testing. Alot of the composite ingredients are pretty toxic, too.
Why does all this stuff have to be so complicated? It's just one thing after another...
Please share your experiences!

You might want to read about oil pulling. If nothing else, Dr. F's book is informative about many dental issues.

Can you explain this? - "3 thermometers in two molars"
Which Dr. F? Is this a Lyme doctor?
I just got on the DentalSave plan. It's not traditional insurance but you save alot of money with it.
I'm doing some thinking about all of this. I have some real trust issues with dentists... They didn't show me the X-rays & they want me to do certain things but I'm thinking about it.
The main problem is that I have pain & I think it's due to a cavity. I think I should get that taken care of before having the tooth pulled. That actually hurts more.

Sparkle, work with a dentist you can trust. Mine shows me x-rays and discusses everything with me.
They do not under most circumstances, do root canals. They test for compatible replacement materials, either with EAV or blood tests.
I had my root canal teeth removed. If you end up having a tooth removed, just be sure to have your bite checked from time to time as if there is an empty space, teeth will shift.
I recently went with a really bad tooth ache, expecting the worse. There was nothing wrong with the tooth other than there is one missing beside it causing too much impact. She worked on that tooth to adjust the bite and the tooth ache is gone.
My dentist is in MA. A nice drive for you but not if it's snowing!

P S - my dentist highly recommends oil pulling with coconut oil. She said it transports bacteria out of the mouth without killing it.

There's a dental educated doctor in New Jersey who speaks at dental conventions. My dentist told me about him yesterday. He understands lyme. He couldn't remember his name but thought it was Hier or something like that. See if you can find him and see who he would recommend.
I agree with the oil pulling. I just started this. While it's a tad gross, it does make sense. My teeth seem whiter. I think it pulled a very small filling out of a front tooth. Don't be surprised if it shakes up old dental work.
Oil pulling gets bacteria, virus' and parasites out.

I think the "three thermometers" refers to the amount of mercury.

Oh, OK! Thanks for the info. I tried oil pulling a while ago with sesame oil, I think. I didn't really notice anything different but I can see how it would "pull" toxins out of the gums. Some people were saysing it was an all around cure for everything.
I'd like to go to a biological dentist but I have had some bad experiences with these "holistic" dentists in the past. I wasn't really thinking about it in the office but I should have requested to see everything. They had the chart positioned on the side towards the back of the chair so I couldn't see it unless I got up. One dentist I went to a while ago had a small camera & they showed you everything. They didn't do that here.
I don't really want to get Xrayed again. I think I'll get one cavity filled & see how it goes. I asked them what they use for the fillings & they told me 3M Filtek Supreme or Herculite. I can check them myself to see if it will cause me any problems. I don't have any root canals so I don't want to start with that if I can help it.
There a good chart on the parasite doctor's website about bio-compalibility. I'm going to wait on the extraction for now. That tooth isn't the one that's causing the problem at the moment.
Please continue to add advice or experiences here. It's just ashame that so many people have had to "remediate" so much bad dental work done to them. We do have to be cautious!

My dentist didn't have anything nice to say about holistic dentistry.
My dentist has also not used mercury for over 15 years as it is banned in other countries. It just seemed too controversial for him. One doesn't have to use it so why bother was his take.

PS - FYI - this is a list of chemicals in composite filling materials that was found to cause problems in people with Morgellon's Disease by a parasite doctor in AZ...
For some reason, I had a problem getting into the webpage directly & had to open a cached version. I would post it here but there's a table & the format is not conducive to copying & pasting.

Yeah, I can't see why it's so hard to figure that you shouldn't put something in someone's head that belongs in a toxic waste dump!
I was at the drugstore looking for something to put on my tooth temporarily & one product had strontium in it. I asked the pharmacist & they said it was OK... I don't know? I didn't buy it. I just used some colloidal silver, baking soda, salt & clove oil. I've also been using the LightWorks on it. The pain is much less now but I still want to do something about it.
I will look into the NJ detist, jackie.
Elixa has a dental appliance that has red & blue LEDs you can apply to the gums. I think blue can kill bacteria. I have to study it further. Another company I found maked a toothbrush with a red or infrared light on it. I didn't see where to buy it, though.
I think they can use light alot more than they have in dentistry. Either with lasers for drilling or scaling or to kill bacteria & germs... I've seen inventions here & there in the past but for some reason they haven't been fully developed.
