Alex:

You will not regret coming here. CZ is a very special place.

It has been determined that the oil will not impact the mercury in your mouth. But what is even more significant is the illness you felt after a teeth cleaning.

OP will clean your teeth very well. It has been proven that teeth cleaning (as well as a variety of dental procedures) will cause bacteria to be released into your system. I consider teeth cleaning hazardous for your health.

There are some recommended messages and posts about freedom from dentistry on this and in the Dental Support forum.

Good luck.

make getting those fillings out properly a priority. this advice from someone who knows!

If you have not done so already, please start a budget for the removal of those amalgams. Dr.Mercola at http://www.mercola.com has very interesting things to say about mercury in one's mouth.

I have more mercury fillings than you can shake a stick at. I can't afford to have them removed yet.

But, oil pulling has healed up my gums, got rid of pains in my teeth due to exposure to sugary liquids and reduced the sensitivity of my teeth to hot and cold (still some way to go here), cleaned away long-standing stains and tartar build up and left me with a the freshest mouth ever.

I do also brush with 3:1 baking soda, fine Sea Salt mix as well. This took a lot of getting use to. Very painful for me at the start but WELL worth it.

GO ON. Suprise your dentist with no need to clean, abrade your gums or poison you with bacteria next visit!
