Researching Dentists - Saturday, April 10, 2010

I must admit I have been hesitating starting the process of having the root canal taken out and mercury amalgams replaced. This phase of detoxing has seemed so overwhelming when I think of all that is involved. Apparently, not every dentist is skilled in doing either procedure, and it is therefore important to find one who understands what precautions need to be taken. The idea of researching which dentist and what the precautions are is almost as daunting as the procedures and detoxing afterwards. Thankfully, my friend, Gail, told me of a woman named Carol who has researched the subject thoroughly. I was told she would know what questions to ask a dentist in order to determine his/her qualifications in this area. So, today I called her and was glad I did. She actually has done some extensive research and was able to direct me to two dentists. She said one of them was excellent in removing root canals and the other for removing amalgam fillings. One of the dentists is located a half hour from home, and the other is only ninety minutes away. (Originally, I was directed to a dentist in New York City, so this was good news, indeed.) Carol also cautioned me to have the root canal taken out first, allow time for healing, then have the amalgam fillings removed in stages. All this advice helped me to formulate a battle plan. So, on Monday I will make the appointments. I will be glad to start the process as I believe this will really assist in removing some of the underlying causes of toxicity and expedite the healing process.
