<<<< From Ruth Strackbein: I just had my bi-annual dental checkup. Dentist tells me I have a cracked filling on a tooth that holds my partial plate. He recommends fixing it with a silver crown. Does anyone have any pros or cons about this procedure, especially the use of silver? This would remove the amalgam filling that is presently in there. Another tooth is a dead tooth that this dentist says from X-rays that it is okay. There is a pocket next to it which continues to be tender. I am tempted to have the rest of my teeth removed and go to "store" ones.>>>>>
Removal of all teeth is a very poor solution, what they don't tell you about dentures is that the jaw doesn't receive enough stimulation and the bone starts receding and thinning. My father suffered a lot with dentures. I'm wondering about dental implants. Are they a good solution for replacing missing teeth or do they create a place for bacteria to multiply like a root canal? -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
