I so agree with PT's suggestion to get another opinion. Of course, if you have a good relationship with this dentist and trust his skill, been with him for years, etc.. no problem.
Even if you get rid of the infection by whatever means, you still have a split tooth with possible nerve involvement. What did your dentist suggest for a solution? If you trust this dentist to repair the crack and refill the tooth, what a wonderful time to get a non-mercury filling, right? If you go that route, do take something like fresh cilantro or some other alternative supplements to deal with the fresh release of mercury into your system. Or... find an alternative dentist who is comfortable replacing mercury fillings and takes precautions. Lola H.
