Hi. I have 3 cavities and need to go to the dentist. i can't afford a natural dentist who will do things in a manner that won't hurt the body.
I already have mercury poisoning(probably from fillings) among other metals...
I did hear someone say something about high suction being important?
i may have to go to a clinic that is cheaper than your typical dentist and I'm sure they don't things safely.
I'm extremely ill and have trouble functioning. have to use a wheelchair when I go to the store and can't drive half hte time, and when I can i can't go far. Can having dental work done make me sicker?
Is there anything I should request them not to use, or any method to suggest them use to be less harmful... Ugh
I'm doing so many things to help myself heal from lyme and I really hate to have to do something that will be bad.
Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks for your time...

you need to have any and all metal removed from your mouth as soon as possible, those metals are just making you sicker
They can do synthetic fillings instead

I had all my amalgams removed a few years before the lyme dx. The dentist I went to did not do it correctly and I knew nothing abot taking oral metal detox agents at the same time.
So, be sure about that part.
Also, avoid any anasth. shots that have EPPY, epinephrine as they can cause the excitatory NMDA receptors to cause agitation and EPPY is, in fact, a steroid. Not a good thing for those with lyme.
Hal Huggins has a good book out - you can google him . . .
and I'm sure you'll get much more good information.

You might have a dental college near you. They usually offer sliding fee scale. Work takes longer and usually is in a very large room with lots of other treatment stations, though.
If you pursue this route, you might still be able to get composite filling, especially if your GP writes a letter on the need.
You might ask for the quietest time of the day for an appointment - or if one day might be less busy.
Once a year in some towns, a group of dentists will work on people w/o insurance. Contact your local dental association.
