Quote from: Jeanne on June 02, 2015, 04:47:07 PMThanks for all the dental vibes. I was there for four hours. Yes, the dentist was running late. His first patient was half an hour late and that got everything off to a late start. Then he learned that his wife was rear-ended and he was trying to deal with that, all while handling several complicated dental cases. I must say he multi-tasks very well and stayed calm throughout.Thank goodness that is over for you. Good to know that he's not the nervous type. It's bad enough to be at the dentist, no matter how nice they may be, but having Don Knotts hovering over you with a tooth drill is not a pleasant thought.

I had two old mercury amalgam fillings that I've been wanting removed for several years, but other, more-pressing issues kept coming up. I also wanted them removed properly, not just drilled out the way it used to be done. This dentist has all the latest equipment and is trained in safe mercury removal. (He's the second dentist I've met who has developed mercury toxicity due to his dental practice.) That meant that both he and his assistant wore respirators (they look like gas masks), there was oxygen flowing into the room throughout the drilling, I had on an oxygen mask, and there was a plastic piece in my mouth to help seal out mercury particles and vapor. All this may seem like overkill, but there is a growing number of dentists and patients who think it's the better approach.

I am now the proud owner of two new porcelain onlays. That may be TMI, I know.
