Over half the teeth in my head have either a filling, a crown, or an inlay. Most of my dental problems were from when I was young. I didn't have dental insurance then, so I didn't go to the dentist for a check up, from the time I graduated from high school, until I finally had a problem with an impacted tooth, in my early thirties. Then the dentist discovered years of neglected decays, and he went to town on my mouth. Since then, I've had several root canals and about a half a dozen crowns and dozen fillings. I think I've bought my dentist a boat or two. ;)<br /><br />I used to work in a chemical plant before I retired. The small amount of mercury in my mouth, can't possibly compare to what I inhaled, absorbed, or ingested, for over a 37 years.<br /><br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-15310488012966788002009-06-18T20:11:45.809-04:002009-06-18T20:11:45.809-04:00Melissa, you're probably going to hate me but ...Melissa, you're probably going to hate me but I've never been to a dentist. I'm not sure why I have such good teeth, but I'm grateful. My siblings never went to dentists either. My brother went once just because his good friend at church persuaded him to. When his dentist friend looked at his teeth he was amazed. He said we must have been raised in an area where the drinking water was high in natural fluorides. I don't know...I just hope it continues the rest of my life. Now if I could just learn to smile...lol.<br /><br />I've always wondered about the mercury amalgams. They say the mercury is inert in that form but I just don't know if I would trust it. I think you're doing the right thing, getting rid of them as you are able. :)SuziAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-60665360083051535302009-06-18T02:05:39.710-04:002009-06-18T02:05:39.710-04:00Thank you!

Even the one with George Lazenby (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), which btw, was actually quite good. <br /><br />I just love your picture. You look absolutely adorable! :)<br /><br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-57086872319856121722009-06-18T00:58:47.838-04:002009-06-18T00:58:47.838-04:00I wonder how many people know to which "Jaws&...I wonder how many people know to which "Jaws" you're referring ;)<br /><br />p.s.
