I had my teeth cleaned yesterday afternoon and woke up with a terrible headache (which I never really have) and have had some depression this afternoon (which is also a symptom I’ve rarely had). I’ve been doing quite well lately on a diflucan/tetra protocol for Bart up until about 2 weeks ago. Has anyone had a similar experience following a dental cleaning?

Also of note, I was in remission last January when I went in for a dental procedure (filling replacement) and 2-3 weeks later I had relapsed and had positive Bart and Babesia tests. I’ve always wondered if that dental procedure may have sparked the return or not.

Was the old filling an amalgam? Did they remove it safely? Do you have more amalgams?

I’m starting to come to the conclusion mercury is a big problem for me. Went to a biological densist to talk about getting mine removed safely. After that I may try ultra low dose chelation ala the Andy cutler protocolZ

What is an amalgam?
Posted 1/24/2020 12:31 AM (GMT 0)
Amalgam is Silver colored filling. The old ones were silver, which is actually half mercury. New ones are white composite which is safe

I have had a noticeable increase in symptoms after a teeth cleaning, and I have only composite fillings. The latest time I got my teeth cleaned was unusual—I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

When I got my teeth cleaned 8 Months ago I developed a brief fever and flu like symptoms a few hours later that the hygienist said is basically Bacteremia (it was a very bloody cleaning, I had developed gingivitis between cleanings). I spent a lot of extra time on tooth and gum care since and this time was much cleaner with minimal bleeding but still woke up with a headache (which may be completely unrelated).

On the flipside, I get a dental cleaning every 3 to 4 months due to past TMJ treatment, and it also helps to remove staining from a few ABX protocols over the past 10 years. I've never experienced any adverse effects from the cleaning, and I do have a lot of metal fillings that should be address. Maybe due to the fact that my cleanings take less time due to the higher frequency that my body is less stressed by the procedure.

You may want to look into Amalgam illness. Amalgams are silver fillings which contain mercury which is highly toxic.

Many people with chronic conditions, including Lyme, discovered this was the root of their issue. Including myself.

For more info this is good place to start.

Mark thanks for the info a few weeks back. I read Amalgam Illness, watched a bunch of videos and did the newbie flow chart in the Andy Cutler FB group and have talked w a bunch of the members. It makes total sense to me, this is possibly the link that’s been missing, why I had symptoms even as a kid. Already met w a biological dentist to get mine removed.

Great to hear. Give it a good shot. I had issues also as a kid but the big event was getting 8 amalgams improperly removed in the late 90s. Back then it was all Nero, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. however my overall health was slowly declining but I didn’t realize it and finally crashed.

Even cleaning if the hygienist polishes the tops of your teeth over the amalgam will release a lot of mercury. A biologist dentist knows better.

Look luck and see you over there.

How long ago did they phase out the amalgams?

I don’t think they have. A few old school dentists still use them.

It really is a travesty these things were ever used. It’s absurd. Mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive element that exists. It’s simple chemistry that it has a relatively high vapor pressure and evaporates, vapors which you will breathe in. They tell you it’s safe with one side of their mouth, then they bring in guys in hazmat suits if a mercury thermometer breaks. 150mg is a fatal dose. A guy w 8 amalgams has on average 4gms. If over time 1/100th or even 1/1000th of that ends up in your body you’re looking at between 4-40mg, enough to cause chronic illness I’d imagine.

They still use them in the US and many country's.

There s long history on this subject including the original dental association banned it 100 or so years ago. The ADA in the emerges as the winner in the industry and still allowed it knowing it is poison.

If your chronically ill and you have or had Amalgams the answer to your problem is right under your nose, literally.

Even if they've been removed odds are you need to detox and even a speck left over is slowly poisoning you, drip, drip, drip, into your bloodstream.

These dentist know better. https://iaomt.org/for-professionals/smart-certification/

EU has now banned it. https://dailyhealthpost.com/dental-fillings/

I was diagnosed in October and am currently on the Cowden protocol. I had one amalgam removed last year by a biological dentist. I have 4 more amalgams that I need to get removed. However my LLMD says not to do it now because even the tiniest bit of mercury vapor released during the procedure could make my lyme worse. He wants me to wait to do it. I want to get them out asap. Who's right? smile

Mark F, could you tell me about the score you mention in your signature and how to do that test? Is it only with Dr. Horowitz?
Posted 1/26/2020 4:20 PM (GMT 0)
Thank you for posting this information. I have a lot of amalgam fillings. Some of them are very old and in need of replacement. I have had Lyme for 5 years (at least) but often have flare-ups of trigeminal neuralgia type pain when I floss or have my teeth cleaned.

If you get them replaced make sure to do it with a biological dentist who knows how to do it safely. If you look into removing them all and/or chelating afterwards I’d suggest checking out the Andy Cutler Facebook group first.
Posted 1/26/2020 4:49 PM (GMT 0)
Thanks - I will do that. I'm pretty chemically sensitive. I've talked to a couple dentists about doing the replacements one or two at a time, at least at first. Then I can see what happens with my health. Do you know of anyone getting a reaction to the composite material?
Posted 1/26/2020 4:51 PM (GMT 0)
Never heard of that. Mercury like mold is known to cause chemical sensitivity/MCS
Posted 1/26/2020 5:55 PM (GMT 0)
Some Biological dentist will recommend a Clifford test. I didn.t bother since I was only getting 1 speck removed.

I suppose if your sensitive and getting a new mouth-full of fillings its worth the $200 to be sure your're not putting something else.

This is their site and it something I thing a Dentist does.
