Hi all ~  I was told by the LLMD that I should think about having all the silver fillings in my mouth removed by a special dentist .. Has anyone here had this done and can give me any kind of Info on it ??????   Thanks so much :)

I'm also looking for a dentist to remove my fillings, even though I only have two and they're small. Its a sketchy conversation because of the fact that mercury amalgam fillings are extremely controversial (they're very dangerous and shouldn't be in your mouth to begin with.) If a dentist does remove them it will be for "cosmetic purposes". The most important thing is to find a dentist who will remove them properly (with masks, etc), not just drill them out, because that is even more dangerous than living with them. Read the following information.

My dentist said he would remove them, but didn't go into any detail so I'm assuming hes not trained in properly removing them, which means that I also need to find somebody who will.

My regular dentist told me that there are only 2 times they are dangerous, putting them in and taking them out BUT he is not Lyme literate so I dont think I would let him take them out and he said some of mine are old and need to be replaced but I am not wanting him to replace anything in my mouth ..LOL I live in Illinois and all the "special" dentist that would do this close to me are in Wisconsin about 2 hours away .. Plus I am doubting my insurance would pay for this even tho some of the fillings I have are old and need to be replaced .... I will go check out that site you posted above.. Thanks Markus12 !!!!!

Purplegirl, I was just wondering,do u know where in WI would this dentist be?, as I live in northern WI. I've been seriously thinking of having mine removed, & was going to ask my LLMD today, but I forgot,& I don't see her again til Oct.....

My dentist will do it - is trained in it. He doesn't like to do it because it actually exposes HIM to mercury in the process. So, if you talk about that, he will talk you out of it. However, if you say you just don't like how they look, he will do it.

He is in Appleton, Wisconsin, if you want to drive that far. Actually, most dentists will do it correctly for their own protection.

Hi purplegirl,

Yes, those silver fillings contain lots of mercury (not good!).  Maybe try searching for a biological or holistic dentist (they are trained in removing the mercury fillings)...  And remember that bacteria love to live in the teeth and mouth.

Perhaps this link will help:
