I had 4-5 amalgams replaced with white composite, and about
6 other white fillings done. I suffered a little pain which
settled down after a few months. Anth

Mark is so desperate to be a lackey for Barrett, he doesn't
realize the problem was in not following correct protocol.
Do NOT have the metal removed by a MAINSTREAM destist who
does NOT follow correct protocol.
Quoted message said:The other problem is that they talked me into having all 4
quadrants of my
teeth done the same week - in 4 consecutive days. This was
probably the biggest mistake we made.

Dentist: How To Replace Amalgam Fillings, mercury health
risk Once the removal has begun, the mercury vapor will be
continuously released from the tooth. During the removal or
placement of amalgam the patient can be exposed to amounts
which are a thousand times greater than the EPA allowable
concentration.
Protocol for Amalgam-Mercury-Silver Filling Removal
By
International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology HOME -
Health Dental Risk Page - CANCER Page - Amalgam Replacement
Protocol - Disclaimer
PATIENT PROTECTION
First in every concerned doctor's mind is the protection of
the patient from additional exposure to mercury. This is
especially true of the mercury toxic patient. The mercury
toxic patient may have been exposed to varying amounts of
mercury from diet, environment, employment or from
mercury/silver dental fillings. All forms are cumulative and
can contribute to the body burden. The goal of this
preferred procedure is to minimize any additional exposure
of the patient, ourselves, or staff to mercury.
During chewing the patient is exposed to intraoral levels
which are several times the EPA allowable air concentration.
2 During the removal or placement of amalgam the patient can
be exposed to amounts which are a thousand times greater
than the EPA allowable concentration.3 Once the drill
touches the filling temperature increases immediately
vaporizing the mercury component of the alloy. There are 8
steps to greatly reducing everyone's exposure.
1. Keep the fillings cool
All removal must be done under cold water spray with copious
amounts of water. Once the removal has begun, the mercury
vapor will be continuously released from the tooth.
2. Use a high volume evacuator
Therefore, a high volume evacuator tip should be kept near
the tooth (1/2 inch) at all times to evacuate this vapor
from the area of the patient. Polishing amalgam can create
very dangerous levels of mercury and should be avoided
especially for the mercury toxic patient.
3. Provide an alternative air source
All patients having amalgam removed or placed should be
provided with an alternative air source and instructed to
not breathe through their mouth during treatment. A nasal
hood such as is used with the nitrous oxide analgesia
equipment is excellent. Air is best and oxygen is acceptable
although not required. If just air is used it should be
clean and free of mercury vapor preferably from outside the
dental office.
4. Immediately dispose of the mercury alloy
Particles of mercury alloy should be washed and vacuumed
away as soon as they are generated. The filling should be
sectioned and removed in large pieces to reduce exposure.
At present the International Academy of Oral Medicine and
Toxicology (IAOMT) has approved removal both with and
without the use of a rubber dam. Some evidence exist to
support both views since high levels of mercury and amalgam
particles can be found under the dam. All members are agreed
that whether or not a rubber dam is used the patient should
be instructed to not breathe through their mouth or swallow
the particles. Some experts feel that it is better to remove
the amalgam first and then apply the dam if needed for
restorative procedures.
5. Lavage, and change gloves
After the fillings have been removed, take off the rubber
dam if one was used and lavage the patients mouth for at
least 30 seconds with cold water and vacuum. Remove your
gloves and replace them with a new pair. If a restorative
procedure is next then reapply a new dam and proceed.
6. Immediately clean patient
Immediately change patient's protective wear and clean
their face.
7. Consider nutritional support
Consider appropriate nutritional support before, during and
after removal.
8. Keep room air pure
Install room air purifiers or ionizers and fans for
everyone's well being.
STAFF PROTECTION
OSHA4 5 requires that employees be given written informed
consent before the use of any toxic chemicals of which
mercury is one. Elemental mercury vapor is one of the most
toxic forms of mercury and should not breathed. Women of
child bearing age should be exposed to no more than 10% of
the OSHA MAC6. Women who are pregnant should be exposed to
no mercury.7 If you use mercury or remove mercury in any
form the National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) has recommended that your employees be
medically monitored annually.
ANY MERCURY EXPOSURE REQUIRES THAT THE EMPLOYEE WEAR AN
APPROVED MERCURY FILTER MASK.
An approved mask is appropriate for wearing during all
dental procedures which will expose you or your staff
to mercury.8
The manner in which dentists operate their equipment
dramatically affects the amount of mercury released. Never
drill on mercury high dry. It is hazardous to you, your
staff, and your patient. Levels as high as 4000 m g/M3 have
been measured 18" from the drill when used high dry. Levels
over 1000 m g/M3 are measurable upon opening an amalgam
mixing capsule.
One out of 7 California dental offices tested over the OSHA
TWA of 50 m g/M 3 . 100% of the vacuum cleaner exhaust
tested over 100 m g/M 3 . Any office where mercury is used
should be tested regularly and staff should be monitored for
exposure. Testing services are available and a mercury
sensor badge is available for personnel monitoring. They
should test inside storage areas and along baseboards where
mercury might have dropped. Office spills can go undetected
for years and are extremely hazardous.
