BigZ,
Just called my dentist. The materials he uses are monomer-free.
So I guess I'll survive the cancer, unless of course I get it from some other source.

linky,
I had over 60 mercury amalgams in my mouth from early childhood through a year ago...
Most had fallen out of my mouth or I swallowed the amalgams as my teeth cracked over time...
Swallowed loads of amalgam material as I was gagging and choking in the dentist chair as a child...I can still remember the feeling of the particles getting stuck in my throat!
Leading to multiple crowns and root canals.
I have mercury in my brain...in the form of white matter lesions (columbia Univ.brain spect scan/mri)...and mercury in the jaw bone, under the root canals an in cavitations from wisdom teeth removal.
The mercury in my mouth only seems to show in my upper left jaw bone at this time. Interesting the the lesions in the brain are all on the left side. also the root canals are all on the left side.
No coincidence as mercury vapors rise!
Most of my health issues can easily be linked to mercury poisoning as well. ie, endocrine, thyroid, hormone and autoimmune! All pre-lyme.
Adding gutta percha in those root canals only heated the fire in my immune system...which is now working on overdrive. Hard to clean this all out!
Hopefully the new breed of dentists who start to embrace "green" natural thinking will catch the links with their older patients who are suffering. And their younger patients who have inherited mercury from their mothers who had these old amalgams.
I hope Dentists learn to take personal health precautions as well working with all these toxic mouths! My dentist takes chlorella tincture before each new patient!

I had loads of amalgam in my mouth as well, which has been removed the 'wrong way' over the years to make way for the root canals.
I am also high in mercury, which I will begin to chelate soon with help from a specialist.
I passed the mercury along to my son; his levels are 2 1/2 times higher than normal. He has many of the sx of high mercury levels, but is improving gradually with chelation therapy.
I'm glad to have found this dentist to help me and an md that can help all of us with the mercury poisoning.
Glad you have found someone to help you too.
Take care.

I had several (16) root canals. Slowly, i started to remove them because of the pain and also because i had a systemic reaction to the infected tooth.
I had one of the best endodonists around treat my teeth with a special laser to kill all the bacteria.
Even with all that, they slowly went bad one by one.
So far i have removed 11 teeth. My health has improved DRASTICALLY after each one. The extraction has to be done right too or you can have another mess on your hands with a jawbone infection.
I am only 42 and it has been a long difficult road for me. Im going to end up having to wear partials for the rest of my life. But, at least i will be well and also well enough to enjoy whats left of it.
I just had another 2 removed, and sure enough one of them was really dark inside. I do not have the results back from toxicology but it should be interesting. BTW, my jawbone also need to be cleaned out and i needed bone grafting.
Its healing up just fine. I had a fever for about 6 weeks with bronchitis and it just wasnt going away. All my symptoms went away except for tooth/jaw pain and my fevers. I am so proud to say that as of today, my temp is running 97.1 again. Guess it was a dental infection after all.
Also, i dont think ANY of im infected teeth showed up on an xray. Which the average dentist cant read, not an insult in any way. There are just some specialist who notice things other dentist dont.
Its a very scary road to go down, but for those of us who actually went down that road and FEEL the results, its so worth it.
Peace and L.O.V.E.

jbgoth,
It is a long road, and a commitment both in time and financially, but well worth it.
Sounds like you are on your way. So glad you are better.
Take care.

There are dentists who can check compatibility for any substance they are going to use in your mouth.
Lab or other means.
I was tested for over 200 different substances to find the best (non-toxic) for ME - my mouth.
Monomer is not used in all partials bigz. I imagine some dental offices only use one thing, others take the time to make sure what they are using is safe.
One of the root canals I had, took me back to the dentist a dozen times over the years. Kept telling him something was wrong.
"Isn't possible" he would say, the root is gone.
20 years later when a biological dentist removed the tooth and cleaned up all the diseased bone, he had to go into my sinus where he pulled out a cyst. Wonder if that would have eventually turned into one of the cancers you refer to?
I have a choice, I can go to a dentist who uses the same materials and practices he graduated from school with 25 years ago, or I can go to a dentist who is constantly learning new information.
Seems like an easy choice.

I saw another dentist years ago who did a topas test on my teeth. I dont think she did it right. I guess u have to tap them before you test them. Oh well, she was a very funky dentist with crystals in her office rooms, but, i had to switch.
BTW, she did do a fantastic job of taking out all my silver fillings :-)
peace and l.o.v.e. from Miami

I had more than a decade dull pain in an old two decade root canal done before I was 20. After root canal, I had no pain. The dull pain came slowly and I think, got worse during lyme disease.
It's NO DOUBT that ALMOST ALL lyme patients will complain of dental problems in the long run. Just check lymenet if you are in doubt.
Whatever causes that, toxicity, high infection load, almost everyone will lose a tooth (root canal) or get many cavitities or extreme infections sometime if they are still battling chronic lyme disease. Lymenet is here as a proof.
My lyme doctor in Switzerland and my lyme naturopath in Germany URGED me to take 2 of my root canal teeth off.
It took me ONE YEAR to do that, because ALL OTHER DENTISTS told me this was NONSENSE. I've been to at least 5 other dentists who took Xrays and saw NOTHING bad on my root canals.
As I had that dull pain in one of the root canals for years and because my lyme disease still went on and off, and because I started trusting my doctor and naturopath, I decided to pull them off. Not simply pulling them off, but cleaning what was left under them.
The surgeon was SURPRISED to see bad infection in BOTH teeth. He sweared to me just before that he couldn't see anything wrong through the Xrays and made me sign a paper saying that it was not his fault if nothing under was found and that I was not going to prosecute him or whatever...
I signed the paper anyway.
But there were fully infected. My lyme doctor was just beside and his face was awful when he saw the infected jaw. It was then a full cavitation that I got under BOTH root canals!
Both my lyme doctor and my naturopath had done several ENERGETIC tests that showed that. Only energetic tests... They knew more than all those dentists I visited in Switzerland and Germany!
One root canal felt NOTHING, zero, no pain, I had no idea of the jaw infection. The other one, that I had dull pain for a decade, I felt PAIN DURING the cavitation treatment. Even with anesthesy!
I knew the dentist was working on the exact point that caused me dull pain for a decade!
Since I stepped out of the surgeon office, the dull pain NEVER returned. Till today (it's been about 4 years, now).
When I think of that dull pain I got for 10 years or more, non-stop, not too strong, just minor but always present, and that it was gone in a few MINUTES...
So I had that CAVITATION for more than 10 years and that got unnoticed by all dentists!!!
I'm also in full remission from lyme for 11 months. I lost my 2 teeth, that was sad, but in between keeping my dead teeth with silent infections under and having the out, but clear of infections, I would still choose to pull them out.
One of my best friends is a dentist who used to use amalgams in her patients, and did loads of root canals in them. She never believed the amalgam story herself.
She has been with me the whole way, following my story. When I told her of cavitations, she believed me when the dentist found big infection under, even though she saw nothing in my Xrays either.
She has followed my fight to take mercury out of my body for years. She saw me very sick and how I got better slowly with treatment.
Now, she's also on chlorella and never anymore uses amalgams in her patients!!
What she learned in dentistry school is what most dentists do to us. She was not guilty, just ignorant.
What physicians learn in school too concerning lyme disease is also to be put in question.
There are journals and journals, papers and papers. One can live their whole lives stuck into certain journals and see nothing about chronic lyme disease or root canals causing cavitations.
One dentist can spend their whole lives not seeing a single cavitation because they won't find anything usually in Xrays, so they will NEVER open the tooth to see what's under.
After having battled lyme against all odds and all physicians in at least, 4 different countries, I only believe on one thing: DOUBT what any professional tells you and make your own mind about any subject related to health.
Doing your own research can save your life! Of course, I'm not a doc, so this is only my opinion.

Very good post, Selma and very timely in my case:
I had to have 2 fillings this week [white, of course!] and afterwards my dentist warned me that one had been deeply infected and that worse case scenario was that I would need a root canal filling.
I have started to research it just in case: certainly 2 days later, I can't chew on that tooth without a twinge, but that could just be normal sensitivity that will die down. I hope so!

I agree with Selma about treating infections. With my 6 root canals I have a dentist who can assess the tooth for infection energetically using ART as well as being able to treat them with ozone. I have mine and I did have to have one root canal retreated with ozone to clear an infection. I don't have any issues with my mouth at this writing and am also in remission.
one thing should be noted, is when you have root canal teeth pulled you are trading one dead spot for another. The hole left in the jaw from the removed tooth is also a potential area of infection. That too has to be monitored over time. And I've become a great believer in the power of ozone for treating dental cavitations and root canals.

My teeth have been a major concern for me both from a health and financial aspect for over a year now. Over the last 25 years I've had 9 root canals. I was told yesterday by a new and very nice endodontist that I need another root canal and a redo root canal on another tooth. This would make this attempt #3 on the redo.
I came here today to gather info. If I'm hearing some of you correctly to safely remove or extract the teeth with root canals I need 1. A dentist who specializes in safely removing the materials from my mouth. 2. Simple partial to replace the removed tooth.
Last fall I had a root canal redone. As I mentioned already, it needs redoing again, possibly the procedure where a hole is made in the gum and a stitch is then made in the gum (yuck), and/or possible tooth extraction. I have to tell you today I wish I had removed them all from the beginning. I'm just very frustrated.
If anyone can answer this question, I'd certainly appreciate it. Can anyone tell me the approximate cost of safely removing a tooth treated with a root canal and then a partial made for that tooth? ....Linky123,JbGoth, GiGi I can certainly relate to your dental path which I believe I'm on my way to but I would appreciate your feedback and a little guidance, if you don't mind.
Someone mentioned cleaning the infection out or something helped with depression, too. Hear again, I'd say I'm open.
Grateful for your input and replies. I feel perplexed, frustrated, like I'm throwing money down the drain and just spinning my wheels. I'm not the only one though who has or is feeling that way though I know. I'm just tired of fighting this battle.
