Everyone is different. I had all amalgams replaced by composites ten years ago. The dentist was a holistic oriented one but didn't take extreme measures to protect me. I had no bad reactions as he did his work over a few weeks.

So I'm not hyper sensitive or who knows what.
But I did feel 20% better in general after the procedure. So I'm sensitive enough to feel that.

Some are sensitive enough to need a Hal Huggins http://www.hugnet.com/ type of approach to amalgam removal. His is very protective against bad reactions to the mercury unloosed

Hello Jonathan,

I think that how you react to "regular" removal proceedures may depend on your body burden of mercury. I haven't been tested but I strongly suspect that I am mercury toxic. I have been having a few amalgams replaced here and there by a "regular" dentist and the only precaution he can use is a rubber dam. Every time I have an amalgam removed I am nearly bedridden for two months.

I sure wish that I could get IV vitamin C during and after the proceedure as well as have a separate air supply - those are things that the "biological" dentists use in their protocol.

I don't have too many amalgams left. I've looked into going to Tijuana, Mexico but keep putting it off. I just procrastinate until I forget how bad the last round made me feel then go back to my regular dentist and do it again...

Blessings,

I had all mine removed by a dentist here in Japan. I was aware of the calls for special precautions but disregarded these. They seemed exaggerated to me, after having amalgams for something like 30 years. (They are durable, that is for sure.)

I did not suffer any ill effects that I could discern, but have noticed health improvements since having the amalgams replaced. The composites are of course much less unsightly.

From what I have seen, the amalgam removal specialists charge very high fees.
