')It's all about risk management. I'd rather have the mercury filling from 30 years ago than the painfully infected cavity. Sure the filling could be replaced with something new and improved, but like dredging the PCB laden sediments of the Hudson or Housatonic Rivers, the attempt at repair leads to a more significant exposure.
If you follow these protocols your exposure is substantially minimized:
1. rubber dam to isolate teeth and block oral air flow into lungs
2. high volume evacuation suction
3. alternate oxygen source to patient, through the nose
4. section amalgams in large segments
5. don't do more than two quandrants at a time
You'll still be exposed to a little more, but thats negligible considering all the mercury that's been stored in your body tissue over the years which you'll have to start flushing out either orally with garlic, cilantro, spirulina or intravenously with a doctor. It can take up to an entire year to get most of the mercury out but within six months all the other toxic elements should already be at acceptable levels. Definitely a work in progress, and if you care about your health there's really no choice but to do it if you can afford to get the amalgams extracted, many insurance plans don't cover it, all said and done around $3000, civilization may have very little time left, you won't be able to get this done WTSHTF if you're lucky enough to survive, if not then the time we do have left is that more precious. I've lived with mercury poisoning since I was a kid, I got half my amalgams out on Monday and can't wait for the last half to see how healthy I can become for once.
