Re: tooth removal more effective than amalgam replacement?

It may be more helpful if you place your question in the Support Forums .
There's a forum called Ask Torrie: Amalgams - she works with a biological dentist in Mexico and a few people have gone to him to do that type of work (not sure how active that forum is).
I don't have any personal experience with him but make sure you choose a biological dentist that is familiar with Dr Huggins protocols (used to reduced potential side effects from improper dental procedures).
Depending on the health of the teeth, I would try to save them by just replacing the Amalgams with good composite or other safer fill. If the dentist does a good job, then most mercury source should be gone. He can analyse for tatoos (where Amalgam components start to seep into the tooth structure and turn it greyish.
It's all dependent on your current dental health.
Having healthy teeth removed can create more problems, specially if pulled incorrectly (cavitations may occur).
So after the proper Amalgam replacement (read about Dr Huggins protocol and prepare yourself in advance), you may want to have a heavy metals test done, since most likely you will have lot of mercury in your system (can be connected to nervous impairment).
If you don't feel big differences after replacing them (a lot of people do however) then it's likely that you will need proper chelation (to slowly, and safely remove the excess heavy metals from your system).
The sucess of chelation is dependent on type of chelators (all natural amy be a better choice) and how well your elimination channels are working (if you have sluggish bowels, weak kidneys/liver, than you need to take extra caution during chelation as to not aggravate the system).
Regarding the root canaled tooth: these can pose a bigger dangers than Amalgams themselves if they become infected.
A root canaled tooth is dead (no blood flow), and since is currently impossible to clean all the microtubules in the tooth, bacteria will begin growing and creating harmful infection and chemicals which can seep into other parts of the body and wreck havoc. Your immune system cannot directly take care of the focal infection in the tooth because there's no blood flow into it, so it will have to fight the area 24/7 to prevent infection progression.
Personally I would take care of the amalgams first and see how you feel (you need to take it slowly and not do too much at a time).
After a while you can deal with the root canal - the typical recommendation from Dr Huggins is to have root canaled teeth removed and properly cleaned to prevent cavitations. There may be other methods that can temporarily clean the tooth but they have not been proven effective in the long run and need to be repeated over and over. The fact is a dead tooth is a dead tooth, and there is little we can do to try to prevent bacteria from decomposing dead matter (natural process). It's the same as trying to prevent a piece of meat from becoming rotten by simply covering it with saran wrap. The bacteria inside the meat will decompose it anyways.
