NEVER NEVER NEVER let a dentist use formaldehyde, lead or mercury in your root canal. It is called Sargenti Paste and may other aliases rc2b, rc2w, tcm... and is denounced by almost all of mainstream dentistry. It can cause permanent debilitating harm and even threaten your life. ASK. SAY NO NO NO

i love the way they never tell you that one of the metals they use to make amalgam consists of about 50% mercury mixed with 50% silver, if the amalgam filling tooth is taken out it is considered

toxic waste and trated as such. oh yea, and the World Health Organization states that 80% of your total body burden exposure to mercury in your life will come from amalgam fillings. mercury is the 2nd most toxic substance known to man next to plutonuim. but they never tell you that!!!!

When I was growing up in the 90s I had about 8 amalgam fillings on my milk teeth (I think the dentist just wanted money to be honest and put fillings everywhere they could) and in my adult teeth ive now got atleast 6 amalgam including 1 root canal. Ive maybe got 2 more at the very back but i cant see. So should I really worry? Or is it a "fluoride in your water like the nazis" type thing? Here in the UK it would cost allot for me to have them removed so I will never do anything about it.

Hi just need some info on my problem.. I went to the dentist for a regular check up . He said that i had a cavity. He fixed the cavity and the tooth next to it has sensivity now because of the work... When cold liquids or air hits the tooth its painful. He looked at the tooth and said that my nerve was exposed and i would need a root canal... Why the tooth had no problem now i need a root canal>>>? Help what should I do?

Now they use resins. The best solution would be to grow teeth again, jaja, only sharks and other animals do.

@runtubefantasy the industry standard is gutta percha. And MANY pediatric dentists (probably others) are using a material, formocresol, 19% formaldehyde, on our toddler's baby teeth. Hospital wings have been evacuated, dental office personnel sent to the ER for a ONE OUNCE spill, yet dentists think it is ok to put this in our children's mouth. It is only OK because it is unknown to the general public. Apparently we need to become more educated before going to the dentist.

@worstrootcanalever

what would they use it if it's dangerous and also, what alternative do u recommend?

[proxicate]

So what is the correct way, the safest way to remove amalgam fillings and do you fill them up with gold fillings or what? What's the safest replacement metal?

You should look to some studies before telling people that... The amount of mercury is SO much lower than the dose needed for diseases... every people a little intelligent will tell you that
