My son just got a mercury filling!!!!!

im going to guess its your insurance...

if you have kick ass sweet insurance they would have placed in the white ones..

every dentist ive had my kids see they LIE

one dentist told my son he had cavities he went to another dentist he had NONE

another dentist wanted to cap all my daughters back teeth to protect them they were baby teeth

I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO


I hate dentists.....

and the office always smells weird freaks me out

hate hearing the drill too

You and your family are so great and powerful brief

you can make him redo the filling, having a person around with mercury fillings not only effects that person, but also effects those in close proximity to the person.

It produces a mercury vapor with every breath.

I have a dentist friend and he doesn't do that to people...my son had a bike accident and the ex-wife took him to her dentist. They wanted to do all kinds of dental work that he didn't need...I take him to my dentist, full set of x-rays, the whole 9 yards and the Doc says he's fine but should brush a little better on the back teeth...that's it!

You're just jealous of people with good teeth ;)

My how things change, but somehow stay the same.

I'm almost 60 and I've had a mouthful of mercury amalgam fillings since my early teen years. I also remember rubbing mercury on quarters because it looked cool. Perhaps I would have been a genius without the heavey metal exposure...........I suppose I'll never know.

Some people just have better/stronger teeth than others.

If it is in fact just a cavity filling they can easily pop it off of the tooth and replace it. Just don't freak out about it, there's no need for getting upset..... it's not a death sentence.

If you want to get that filling out of your kids head take him to an oral surgeon and tell them its causing him discomfort and sensitivity to foods, they will pull it out.

If you don't have any type of dental insurance, get some, a single family plan for dental covers specialists other than orthodontics and is causally 25-45$ a month.




95% of the time you are told anything by a dentist it is a lie. Go to an oral surgeon, the only thing you should ever go to a dentist for is a routine cleaning.

Dentist are typically not doctors or M.D.s they are a DDS. It is a very very different training background. Those dentists that are MDs are often the bad apples of the military doctors as it's an easy job to get.

If you want quality dental work, go to an oral surgeon or a maxiofacial doctor as these are the guys who are actually trained on the bone structure and problems with teeth and have the expertise and knowledge not to cause more damage than you need.

Alot of dentists can't even properly identify a cavity vs simply a discoloration. I have Bicuspid molars, something that not many people have and when I went to a dentist they thought I had growths on my teeth and wanted to pull them....

I was with someone along time that started off as a dental technician and eventually became a surgical tech for an oral surgeon and it was mind blowing learning about the dental field.

Most dentists are about as qualified to do actual work on your teeth about the same level as a a school nurse could perform a blood transfusion.

I know they are some good dentists out there, especially in small towns etc where they are the only ones around and they have to know how to do these things. In large cities and chain dental companies tho, STAY AWAY they have the highest malpractice and patient unhappiness numbers of any medical profession.

Nah, people freak out over mercury poisoning for no reason...my Dad used to polish coins with mercury too and he's still a genius at 73...

Find a biological dentist to take it out.

Take some precautions like lots of vitamin C.

Mercury effects take 10-20 years to see.

Jolly rancher candy is the best for removing them ..

Bite hard filling comes out stuck to the candy ..

Use crazy glue mixed with calcium bicarbonate to fill the hole ...carefull not to stick elsewere,,

Once they remove it, it must be disposed of as a hazardous waste. Ironic isn't it?

Take him to a dentist that specializes in mercury amalgam removal. Otherwise, removing it can result in excessive mercury exposure.

That explains a lot. Mercury poisoning skips a generation.

LOL, nice try but I've been tested and I'm a genius too...

That's how I did it - claimed it was cosmetic (told them I was going to start singing in the band and didn't want all those old cavities revealed, lol) and paid all the money insurance wouldn't cover - funny, haven't been really sick since then.

I'm almost passing the longest I've ever been without surgery in my 47 years!!

its common cause they make it cheaper than ceramic and if you dont know better you will suffer.

i think it's a bad idea. but they've been using it
since 1880.

silver-mercury amalgam is nice and soft and squishey
and easy to work with, and the dentists are too lazy
to use modern ceramic fillings.

It's a genetic thing, Brief - finally had my last dentist admit that - most in my family lost their teeth early, I still have mine, but I've certainly have had issues.

I floss and brush and I know people who never floss and rarely brush who've never had a cavity and eat crap food that I would never eat.

It's genetic, like most things. So, you and your kids won the genetic lottery - congrats!

combine that with all of the lead we spewed into the
environment for 60 years (leaded gasoline),
and,... people wonder why everyone is either
crazy or borderline crazy?

lead and mercury also cause you to be
stupid, ignorant, and retarded... along with being crazy.

This video needs it's own thread!!!!!!!!!

OMG, your kid has a cavity. If it were up to most dentist all kids would have a mouth of cavities. Unless it hurts then tell the dds to be on his merry way and find another kid to flourinate.

I've had all my old amalgam fillings replaced with composite ones now.

I do feel healthier for it..

Yep, me too

i've had 5 or 6 mercury filling in my head since i was a kid,
and i'm definitely crazy. and none too bright, either.

by all accounts i should have turned out to be a genius,
but it just doesn't seem to have worked that way :(

Mercury fillings expand in time and will eventually crack your teeth. Ceramic fillings shrink and if the bond to your tooth is strong enough it can will damage it also. Porcelain filling that are computer generated are a more permanent solution.

Here is a website where you can look up mercury free dentists.

They'll need to extreme measures to take out the filing he just got & then put in a non-mercury one.

Do a youtube search for "The Smoking Tooth", you'll see exactly how dangerous it is.

My husband is getting a crown removed that has mercury holding it in place this month. The cost is about $1500 but the insurance company will pick up most of the cost.

Better find a D.O> and have him get chelation therapy

This mercury right now is not as deadly since the amount relinquished every day is very minimal ... just remember when his filling will be removed no parts of it cant get into stomach , it must be safely removed. This is how true problems arise.
