Good Grief! I even proof-read before I hit send. I had my four wisdom teeth out when I was 16. This tooth which is now missing was the next to the last on top (not counting the wisdom tooth spot.) It shows when I smile big.
This dentist is a mercury-safe one. He does a zirconia implant which seems to be a lot more expensive than the regular ones. Their site states, "There is no metal involved. Zirconia is a special type of ceramic, which is biocompatible and non-irritating to gum tissues. This system is entirely metal-free, with a comparable success rate and longevity to titanium implants. Although Zirconia implants are relatively uncommon in the United States, they have been widely used in Europe for decades. Extensive clinical studies have proven the safety and effectiveness of this option." Sorry about mis-speaking. That and forgetting words or names is the most annoying part of aging!

I can't figure out how you could have a "gap", or worry about a missing wisdom tooth "showing" -- when wisdom teeth are the further-most back teeth in the mouth, very close to the jaw hinge. Most people lose their wisdom teeth early on (mine were gone before I turned 28) and never give them a thought. I've never heard of anyone having them even filled, much less crowned. Are you sure you're not talking about one of the molar teeth? If you really are talking about the wisdom teeth, I'd advise you to save your $4,500.00 -- no one will ever know that the tooth is gone! Regardless -- don't stop smiling!! :-D MA ________________________________ From: Pat <pattycake29...@yahoo.com> To: "silver-list@eskimo.com" <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Thu, March 14, 2013 7:45:41 AM Subject: Re: CS>Tooth infection I had to have a wisdom tooth extracted a couple of months ago. It had had a mercury filling removed and had ozone treatment and a partial crown a year ago, but it became abscessed. The dentist said that I had two choices, root canal or extraction. He said that he wouldn't have root canals for himself or his family since the bacteria hides in the roots and even ozone cannot get rid of all of it. I hate having this huge gap and often quit smiling to cover it (even though the kids say it doesn't really show.) The dentist said that I could be evaluated for an implant in 5 or 6 months, but that one would cost $4,500. I guess I'll have to get used to the gap. = ( Pat -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
