Depends on what the source of the "health problems" are. It also depends on the
individuals knowledge of and follow through with aggressive treatment post
removal, if the health problems *are* Hg related. Sadly many get the amalgams
removed and wake up the next day thinking, "OK they are gone I should be
feeling great any day now".
Mercury is a tenacious, cruel toxin. Some toxicologist estimate that without
provocation, it can take the body upwards of 20 years for full detoxification.
Mercury - free DDS's who do recommend aggressive treatment post removal *do*
see results, again if the problem was Hg related. No surprise that conventional
Dentists who do not have knowledge of and thus do not recommend chelation Tx,
or even nutrition supplements, do not see results.

You got that right. If I have to have any more I will have to mortgage
the house. But so far the four root canals with crowns are doing well.
No pain or sensitivity and some are over ten years old.

When my amalgams crack I will look into replacing them with composites
or whatever the best material is. Til then I will rest easy that they
are likely going to do me no harm (knock on wood).

That is why I recommend keeping amalgams out of Salvia.

Who is Salvia?

The tooth is DEAD.

Q: What is the worst treatment done by dentists?

A: While mercury is toxic and can do terrible things to nerve tissue, it does
it slowly over decades. The treatment that can have the biggest and fastest
impact on the body is root canal therapy. The idea of keeping a dead, infected
organ in the body is only thought to be a good idea by dentists. A root
canal-treated tooth always negatively affects your immune system.

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.

That damage to the central nervous come from the mercury in your mouth.
