Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello-I went to a dentist in 1987, I had an amalgam filling put in -I did NOT know about amalgam then the dentist s assistant was the one that mixed the filling material together, which I felt was wrong and I REALLY believe she didn t know what she was doing. I then had this disgusting metallic taste in my mouth for many days-I had amalgam before and never experienced that s then I got this VERY,VERY severe pain in my head, lost vision in one eye. Back then MRI s were just coming out and the Dr. only sent me for a Cats can w/contrast and everything came out normal. Well, at the age 22 I was diagnosed with MS.I had all my fillings taken out ten yrs. later and that Dr. said it was the amalgam.
It is unfortunate that you are suffering from MS. But silver amalgam has nothing to do with it.though mercury toxicity in itself is dettering but silver fillings is and would be in use for a long time (they do last longer than composites many times).
