Incorrect. amalgam (MERCURY filling}
that is done in dental office is considered,is
not a poison really.
Key words * is considered, is not a poison really.*
This being considered is REALLY a LIE.
Yes it does have some adverse effects.And i havent
really heard about thyroid problem due to that.
Not surprised..since you are a *dental student*.

Anyways not to worry too
much if u had it once or twice.As far as ur painful teeth is considered
yes u might get it pulled out because you are short of money currently
and later can replace it with a partial denture prosthesis.As far as ur
widom teeth are considered you may get it out as sometimes it may also
cause sinus problem.However,having so many extractions as u said two in
front and lower three....in any case i would not do it.This is an era
of conservative dentistry and u should not get so many (5-6) teeth
pulled out.Gettin all these teeth out at once is as it is not done and
if he is doing you must change your dentist and otherwise also i would
suggest you should opt for a conservative treatment like root canal
therapy.Always remember there is no prosthetic appliance or any
material that can replace properties of enamel and dentin.
I would say not *suggest* this dental student is full of CRAP!

ll root cancel fillings have the potential to casue bad health. This
is because, althought the nerve has been removed, bacteria still
colonise in the minute tubules of a tooth. These bacteria produce
toxins which enter the body causing potential harm.
An area of residual infection which is left under the gum, usually
following, but sometimes a long time after an extraction can cause
problems. Symptoms can be coincided with the energetic links to the
body as well as localised problems.

Root Canals. A tooth has miles of tiny canals running through the root.
A dead
or root filled tooth will have bacteria in these canals. There is no
way of
removing the bacteria once they are in there.

Toxicity from Root Canals
The next subject to be discussed are root canals and their possible
source of
toxicity. Approximately twenty five million Americans undergo root
canal
therapy every year in an effort to prevent the loss of teeth that have
abscessed. The root canal is the left portion of the tooth which houses
the
vital organs such as the nerve and blood vessels. The dentist endeavors
to
clean and sterilize this canal and fill it with a sterile, non toxic
inert
material. This usually renders this tooth serviceable and non painful;
however,
the entire inner hard core of the tooth is made of dentin which has
several
million dentinal tubules. These tubules allow the circulation of
lymphatic type
fluid to circulate from the vital organs of the root canal to the
outside of
the tooth. This is a viable circulatory phenomenon which has a purpose.
It
services the periodontal ligament as well as the sensory aspect of the
nerve
and blood centers in the root canal. If the body chemistry is healthy,
the flow
of lymphatic fluid is from the root canal to the outside of the tooth.
This
creates an irrigation for the tooth and usually prevents the
accumulation of
plaque to form. When the body chemistry is not healthy, then the
circulation is
from the outside of the tooth to the inner root canal. This allows for
no
irrigation, but rather an accumulation of plaque to form. There are
many more
reasons for maintaining the integrity of the circulation in the
dentinal
tubules. Root canal therapy completely destroys this integrity, and
what
happens to the non-circulating fluid in these tubules? This fluid as it
ages
becomes stagnant and becomes a toxic substance. This porous structure
now
becomes a septic mass emanating poisons into the body. Is this what you
want?
Mercury amalgams are said to be the caskets of the body. Root canals
are said
to be the cadavers of the body.
I do not recommend root canals for anyone. Each individual has a right
to their
decisions. Many people simply do not wish to lose a member of their
body. I
respect this, and I always discuss the consequences.
The next area of discussion is whether the root canal filling actually
sterilizes the apical end of the tooth. There are so many lateral
canals at the
root end of the tooth where bacteria can harbor that it is unlikely
that a
complete aseptic condition exists. This, however, is a debateable
subject.
Again, the complete acceptance of root canal therapy as a viable
substitution
for extraction is completely and whole heartedly supported by organized
dentistry. You are in violation of the code of ethics if you speak out
against
root canal therapy. When I was a practicing dentist, I always let the
patient
make that decision after explaining all pros and cons.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
California Judge Approves Landmark Warning on Mercury Use in Dentistry.
(San Francisco, CA) - For the first time anywhere, dentists will be
required to post a warning about the dangers of mercury in their dental
fillings. A California Superior court judge finalized the language for
the warning to be posted in dentists' offices here today.
The warning will read as follows:
Notice to Patients, Proposition 65:
Warning on dental amalgams, used in many dental fillings, causes exposure
to mercury, a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Root canal treatments and restorations including fillings, crowns and
bridges, use chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has studied the situation and
approved for use all dental restorative materials.
Consult your dentist to determine which materials are appropriate for your
treatment.
The exact language of the warning was argued and then finalized before
Superior Court Judge James A. Robertson II between the California Dental
Association, the largest constituent organization of the American Dental
Association and Attorney Shawn Khorrami (Cor-ahm-mee). The agreement
requires its member dentists to warn patients about the toxic dangers of
mercury dental fillings and root canals. The agreement also allows non-CDA
dentists to opt in to the agreement and post the warning.
The warning is the result of a lawsuit filed by The Law Offices of Shawn
Khorrami on behalf of As You Sow, a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to
advocacy and activism in the public interest.
"This is the first admission by organized dentistry that amalgams pose a
potential health risk," says Shawn Khorrami, lead attorney. "The only
problem is that it's about 100 years too late."
This California consent judgment follows on the heels of recent lawsuits
filed in Georgia, Texas, Ohio and Los Angeles, California charging that
mercury fillings placed in a woman's mouth contributed to the autism of
her child, as well as lawsuits in Maryland, California, and New York
charging the American Dental Association with misrepresenting amalgam
dental fillings as "silver." The lawsuits basically allege that such
fillings actually contain approximately 50% mercury by weight. They cause
continuous, daily exposure to mercury and, thereby pose substantial health
risks to certain users. Mercury, a highly toxic substance, is the most
widely used substance in dental fillings today.
The use of mercury-based thimerosal in vaccines also has been the source
of the recent controversy in the Homeland Security legislation.
Khorrami filed the lawsuit against Roger Fieldman D.D.S., Inc., the
Citadel Dental Group, Inc. dental offices, dental laboratories and
private dental schools and training programs with more than nine
employees. The suit won the enforcement of Proposition 65, Safe Drinking
Water and Toxics Enforcement Act [Health & Safety Code § 25249.6].
Proposition 65 requires that a clear and reasonable warning be provided to
persons prior to their exposure to a chemical known to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. This statute lists mercury, contained in dental
amalgam, as a substance that can cause reproductive toxicity. The lawsuit
was based on the absence of warnings to patients treated with amalgam
restorative materials in dental offices.
The judgment on Proposition 65 mandates that all dental offices with more
than nine employees provide warnings on the dangers of Mercury dental
fillings to patients. Those in non-compliance could incur a fine of up to
$2,500 per day.
