Sorry... a further question.... assuming you can find a reputable dentist and are working with a health practitioner on a specific detox protocol, do you think it is a good idea to have mercury fillings removed?

This is a complicated response to a simple question. If you’re experiencing health conditions that your provider identifies as possible related to mercury toxicity, then it may be a good idea to consider. The exposure to mercury is at its peak during placement and removal. Every time we cut into a tooth, we weaken the tooth additionally.
I am skeptical of the white fillings that are traditionally used to replace amalgam because they are a plastic product. Their longevity pales in comparison to amalgam.
I am hanging in limbo between holistic/biological dentistry and traditional. There are elements of the holistic side that push for the invasive removal of amalgam to be replaced with an inferior plastic product. I wish that some honesty in the care provided to patients could be actively discussed and debated so we can give true informed consent with treatment options.
