Root fillings are supposed to be toxic especially for pd people. Endocal 10 is used in canada and other countries. Im looking for a uk dentist who practices with it as it is safer.

My understanding is that if there is a problem with the old amalgam filings then it is when the old filings are drilled out. So you also need a dentist who has trained in ways of ensuring all old amalgam stuff is properly removed

Google it. The other fillings leave gaps where bacteria can get through andwreak havoc. Ive afriend who recovered from long term muscle problem. when he had filling removed.

Yes all mercury amalgam should be removed safely with a rubber dam.

Mercury is or was used in ordinary fillings. Root fillings are different.
