Stressed out!

Please someone, anyone tell me that I won't get sick from a metal filling???

I had one removed which was placed in my tooth a few months ago but I still have a few metal fillings left in my mouth from many many years ago.  I know almost all of us have at least one or two metal fillings or crowns in our mouths.  But the reactions I had a few months ago from the gold filling has really made me HATE metal. I have read about what they can do eventually to your health. Gold fillings are not 100% gold at all! They are usually 75% gold and the rest are alloy like silver, copper, palladium, zinc etc. So those may dissolve in our mouths in the long run! I should have known. Anyway, my question is, why would they allow metal fillings in the first place if they are considered harmful? I have read about people getting strange symptoms, including irritation (mouth), headaches, sickness after implants and fillings made from metal. But in most cases, these symptoms are ignored by the dentists and doctors. They end up suffering for a long time not know what the cause is. I've read that metal fillings can cause galvanic shock and the sensation that can induce depression like symptoms and also headaches for many years. How many of you have metal (filling, implants) in your mouth and have you never had a problem with it?

It all started after having a BRAND NEW metal filling placed in my tooth. How can you not have a reaction to an old filling and have a reaction to a new one when they are made from almost the same material?  It's crazy! I'm going to get a second..and even a third opinion for sure!
It makes no sense to me.

Thanks for the response and reassurance SC. Means a lot!

OMG SC!!! I think it's both!

Since it's been 10+ years, the material they use now may be slightly different and I may be having a reaction to that!

As for No.2, I was actually talking about this with my friend the other day! I may have developed an intolerance since my previous dental work which was a decade ago! Wow. That's a pretty long time.

You know what SC, my previous dental work was done almost right after a very close person in my life passed. After then I know my body has changed along with my immune system from all the stress and grief. I got sick for few years and was housebound.

My lifestyle changed in these 10 years...I am not out in the sun like I used to be. The only good thing is that I've eliminated a lot of junk food, preservatives, artificial ingredients, processed foods, oil, caffeine, soda, fried food from my diet. I eat mostly organic!

I think my diet has made me more sensitive to unnatural ingredients and even chemicals. The skin around my mouth gets irritated often if I have a bit of toothpaste left on it! I didn't have mcdonalds for so many years (8 years!!!) and when I tried a cheeseburger (lol), I got a horrible stomach pain from it!

I think you just found the answer to my problem SC! I see there has been some changes in my body's tolerance level because all of the above! Now this makes PERFECT sense to me!
