Last week I visited my dentist and was told that I had a chipped mercury filling in one of my molars, which also chipped off a small part of my tooth too. I have in total about EIGHT mercury fillings in my mouth. I cannot afford to remove all of the fillings.
My conventional local dentist offered to remove it, and the only equipment to avoid mercury vapour entering my system was a rubber dam and a dental suction unit. I know that biological dentists stress the importance of providing oxygen during the procedure and other safety protocols, but is this really necessary? Considering factors like my age (I am a young, relatively healthy male), only one filling being removed and no known mercury poisoning issues, how safe would this be? And would it be necessary at all?
Thank you.
