A brisk scrub in a morning bath or shower on rising is most important in order to wash off eliminated toxins from the previous night's sleep. Toxins will not be reabsorbed through the skin during the day and a morning shower adds to a feeling of well being. Once rehydration and detoxification are under way amalgam removal cannot be started on quickly enough. It is important to get the right dentist for you and make it know that amalgam removal is not a cosmetic exercise. Every scrap of amalgam has to come out.
Dental charges can vary enormously.
One lady was quoted between over 900 and just under 200 for the same work. Another lady was told that two of her fillings were too large to replace and she would have to have two 200 crowns. She went to another dentist who readily replaced the two amalgam fillings with white ones as she asked. I am not imputing motives to the expensive dentist or the one who wanted to do two crowns. I am saying that it is wise to look around and find the right dentist for you.
