NO. DO NOT DO IT. I haven't met anyone yet who wasn't worse off from taking out those fillings. The process can destroy the rest of your teeth - it is very hard on the structures. Despite the claims? The fillings are just fine. You might consider how dangerous asbestos abatement is - it's better to leave it in situ and work around it.

This idea makes the rounds every ten years or so. Dentists are going to not mind at all - you will be bringing them business and AFTERs the fillings are out - you need MORE dental work! Oh, and imagine the expenses? Leave the fillings alone!

Go have your hair, your nails, your blood all checked for metals first. Choose your functional medicine doctor with care. Do chelation Therapy if there are heavy metals and so forth.

Look for EEO2 Or EEOO treatment where they can basically do blood dialysis and oxygenate and ozonate your blood. The dialysis filter pulls a lot of toxins out, very safe, and the ozone and oxygenation really do cool things. Some machines will use UV on your blood with it as well. There are youtube videos about the RHB machine and this process. There are peer reviewed papers as well, check pubmed, frontiers, etc. A couple of videos to start your research and investigation:

It is interesting that if a small vial of mercury were spilled on a school floor it would cause an evacuation....unless it showed up in smiles.

Quite likely the only thing WHO has gotten right. Dentists poisoning people for decades with mercury fillings and big pharma poisoning children for decades with both mercury and aluminum vaccines and drugs. Of course, there never has been any testing or studies to determine if any of this was or is a safe practice. Sound familiar all you vaccine and mRNA gene altering poison lovers?

I'm 61 years old and have been walking around with a head full of mercury for 50 years. Other than being a life long conservative with critical thinking skills and more common sense than 99 percent of the general poulation I haven't suffered any other ill effects from those fillings.

I tend to agree with the previous poster, this is a great revenue generator for all the starving dentists out there.

I did this in 2006, thanks to Dr. Mercola. I had developed an odd facial twitch, and hand tremors. Had a biological dentist (a Mormon) in San Diego remove all my amalgams. On the day he did such extractions, he would not allow his employees to be in the office, kept all the windows open, and was in a near full hazmat suit.

The benefits (I was also chelating mercury via cilantro, MSM, alpha-lipoic acid, etc) were almost immediate. I slept MUCH better. Tremors gone within a week. This was pretty revelatory to me, and I recalled the FILTHY jewish dentist who filled my mouth with this poison, when I was a child. Dr. Mosner was his name, he owned and raced greyhounds, with all the winnings he made, filling Goyim with poisons.

I had a bad reaction to mercury root canal work. Had to have surgery to have the root canal removed. I also have a thyroid issue which may be connected. Following that I had all of my fillings removed by a Dr. McKnight in Saint John, NB. She specializes in this. She closed her clinic for a day to perform the procedure because of the toxicity. It took all day and she has all of the necessary equipment to perform the procedure safely and contain the mercury once removed. I would highly recommend her.

Had my amalgams replaced 20+ years ago. Sure, you spend $$. I don't regret it.

The stuff is toxic. It's that simple.

This must be the worst advice I've ever read. First of all, as a small child, I remember my Mom taking me to a dentist and getting cavities filled which looking back on it now seems unusual since we were never allowed to have sugar drinks or candy. My Mom never questioned it, and we went every 6 months for cleanings which at the time was unusual since most people couldn't afford to do that and dental insurance didn't exist. I have to wonder if I really had cavities to fill or if my parents were paying to fill the dentists bank account. Fast forward to when I was a newlywed and my husband had a really great dental plan and we went to a dentist who came highly recommended. On my first visit he advised me I had to get those "old" fillings replaced because they were going to cause me problems down the road. I don't remember him mentioning mercury, but I'm sure that was the reason. Being young and not knowing better, I let him go ahead and do this. What I didn't know was replacing cavities meant it weakened the tooth structure because they drill out the filling and take a significant amount of the tooth with it. Since then I've had nothing but problems with my teeth. Chipping, breaking, almost everyone of those teeth has had to be crowned, and one even broke off so bad it required an implant to fix. At the cost of $5000. Which insurance doesn't cover. Don't believe the commercials you see on TV about implants being a 1 day procedure either. It was 6 months of agony. Mine required a bone graft, I had to go 6 months without a tooth in that spot(thankfully it was in the back so not noticeable) and made numerous trips to the endodontist for checks and xrays. I don't trust any dentist now. Everytime I go to one and they tell me I have a cavity, I try to find one for a second opinion. Complicating things is I had both knees replaced a few years ago, which went great, but my surgeon insists I take antibiotics before any invasive procedures. Now the ADA says that is not necessary, but they aren't the ones with the artifical knees and the Dentist isn't the one who is going to deal with any bone infection that may arise. So most of them will give you a RX for antibiotics and go on with their life. But I ran into one a few years ago , who's office manager felt she needed to "educate" me on the reasons that antibiotics weren't necessary. Once she finished her condescending diatribe , I informed her I was a nurse and had researched the issue thoroughly, and would be happy to have my surgeon who has published over 200 research articles on knee surgeries give her a call and explain his rationale for treatment. She left in a huff. And I found another dentist. If your teeth aren't causing any problems, and if you aren't having any chronic health issues that doctors can't seem to find the source of, leave your fillings alone. As the saying goes, let sleeping dogs lie.

Be prepared for pain, recurrent decay, root canal problems and more. I’ve seen it all. Think about it. As a dentist I often would tell people to not have all their restorations replaced, and instead to keep their amalgam restorations. I stood to gain thousands and thousands of dollars of income and yet still didn’t want to do that to my patients. I have been the victim of having received , unwillingly, composite posterior fillings to replace amalgam restorations (that had lasted oh, about 27 years) and the teeth so treated were painful and symptomatic until I finally convinced my dentist to remove the composite fillings and replace them with regular amalgam restorations. Nothing is perfect. There is a cost benefit to everything. I would suggest that the sequelae related to the use of these white composite restorations, particularly in back teeth where there are heavy bite forces is simply not a good idea, unless and until better and more reliable, composite restoration materials have been invented and can be used for the purposes that usually require amalgam. And actually, gold fillings are probably the best but require even more skill which most general dentists just don't have leading to less than effective final restorations; often leaky. A leaky gold filling will give you lots of trouble. Amalgam is much more forgiving and you can still arrive at a functional restoration even if you're not the Albert Schweitzer of dentistry. To reiterate, I wish there was something better than amalgam but really, from a day to day perspective, there isn't.

I had a few mercury fillings that I had replaced with composites a few years ago. While I think that the composites are better than mercury, I would not be surprised if the composite fillings turn out to be leeching toxic chemicals like BPA into our bodies as well. I suspect that gold fillings are probably the safest.

Start with a 3D Cone Beam exam. Read Dr. Thomas Levy. Ills stem from the mouth. Also, Weston A. Price, a pioneer in this area.

I had mercury toxicity when I had my amalgam fillings removed. I specifically asked my dentist to remove them properly and he assured me he would. He did not remove them as safely as required, and I ended up with intestinal symptoms from the mercury toxicity. He was too lazy and dismissive of me to do it properly.

There are a few incorrect word uses im the top part of the article. Orthodontist or endodontist should be used instead of orthopedic.

What an excellent podcast about the hazards of mercury , and towards the end

Flouride issues , both detrimental to our health ,ever thought the podcast was stopping intermittently I listened to it to the end !!

Another brilliant post... which shows how inept and stupid the people running WHO are...and THEY want full control?... like handing control of A380 airbus to monkey while the pilots take a Kip... what could possibly go wrong?

...and yet, they still pour mercury into childhood vaccines and inject them into newborns 😡

Drilling out amalgam and thus aerosolizing the mercury in it? Which you are then breathing in?

No thanks.

I've actually discussed this with my dentist (who gets heavy metals levels done on a regular basis). She has a colleague who specializes in removing and replacing amalgam fillings. She became mercury toxic and nearly died.
