My dentist uses a composite, no metal

Some composites arent so great either. Apparently there is a type from Germany that is the best.

ask dentist for filling materials used to make them and email them to you. bpa free is one but also flouride free is a lesser thing you should look at. Best to brush more often less stress. Although I do like an excuse to use lidocaine!

@x-ray peat

you remember the brand?

Wondering this as well. BPA free seems to be a must since it is carcinogenic.

no it was a recommendation from a pretty good radio PhD nutritionist. I think Germany is the leader in natural dentistry.
I did find these studies
Release and toxicity of dental resin composite

I get the impression the alternative dentistry world uses glass ionomer, porcelain, and gold to avoid BPA/mercury. Though your options probably depend on the location/severity of the cavity.

So 3M Filtek Silorane seems like a good choice for composites, I guess? Their guide makes me think it's only meant for back teeth though.

Fascinating how in 2018 we still don't have a filling suitable for every tooth that is toxic free, or atleast not as clear marketed as such right now.

You could say the same about our food and water as well. Could they be doing this on purpose?/s

Curious coincidence that every hormone disrupting chemical is estrogenic and none are androgenic.

Some dentists are now using ceramic fillings. Don't know much about them, but generally speaking ceramic is safe, not sure how well it holds up. Maybe worth looking into.

 

[KnowledgeSeeker]

Thanks everyone.

Perhaps I will try to get ceramic fillings.

 

[HealthisWealth]

I'll ask my dentist about ceramic fillings.

I'll ask my dentist about ceramic fillings.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What did you end up doing then? I think ceramic fillings are very expensive

All dental procedures are expensive.

It is money well spent.
