Thanks ThinkAgain. I could get a second opionion I guess. But I have to say, I've moved many many times, but actually have lived here it CT for 11 years now, and I've had the same dentist. I love him and trust him fully. He is a master at his work and unlike all my other dentists, he doesn't push me into anything. Most do. My husband has teeth of steel, and he is never ever been pushed to do anything either. He is very conservative, and told me that his practice hasn't used amalagam in over 11 years, maybe even more but at least since I've been there... He agreed, no one wants it in their mouth anymore. So, he's sympathetic and it sounds like he is used to hearing about people wanting to get it all out.
A note about my root canals. I've never had issues with them, as it seems many many people have had problems. I have enough on my plate now so I'm not going to worry about pulling root canals. I can acknoledge they could have potential bad problems, and with this last root canal, I asked the endodontist if she's filling with amalgam, and she said NOOO! She was quite honest about it and said that there is a contraversy about the safety of what they are filling them with.... I couldndt' get into it as I had my mouth wide open!! I have had a ton of dental work, (unfortunately I have bad teeth!) so between all the stuff I have to take care of (new crown now), big $$$$$$$$$ I will get the old one replaced next year.
