suffered from headaches Of course, the dentist denies any correlation
between the headaches and the dental procedure The reason is that
when two dissimilar metals are placed in close proximity in a fluid environment
... they create a battery.
If you have gold ALMOST touching a silver filling
in saliva. An electric current is caused which shocks the mouth. It can
cause toothaches, sinus pain, headaches and TMJ problems. When I
say ALMOST, I mean just before the teeth come together, and just
after they come apart. NOT while they are touching.

This was interesting about the chemicals Dentists
use.
I would like to hear from anyone whose food/skin allergy problems proved to be the result of sensistivity/allergy to some substance used by their dentist. And how the problem was corrected. Thanks.

One of the leading consultants in construction of environmentally safe housing, almost died from a series of allergic reactions. It wasn't until a root canaled tooth was removed that he made a full recovery. It was filled with gutta percha.
There are also several support groups dealing with dental amalgam sensitivities. The average MD will say that since these materials aren't protein in nature, you can't be allergic to them. But I know a woman who lost her husband, children, job and home because of the confusion caused by her nickle based bridgework. It may not be a true allergy but its close enough for me.
By the way, one of the main components of gutta percha is formaldehyde. Many dentists disinfect the root canal before packing with formocreosol. If you will remember that's the stuff they put in telephone poles to kill anything wanting to eat the pole's wood. Many people react to these materials.
A gutta percha reaction may not be a latex-like reaction but a formaldehyde reaction. Gutta-Percha is the rubbery exudate of trees of the genus Palaquium, Sapotaceae, and Habit. Chemically, it has nothing to do with formaldehyde. It is a natural polymer composed of mostly trans-isoprene. Isoprene is a naturally-occurring hydrocarbon, composed only of carbon and hydrogen. It is somewhat like polyethylene or polypropylene. Dentists use it as a cement. Since it is a purified polymeric substance, it should cause little trouble in your body; however, if the purified polymer is contaminated with traces of other naturally-occurring substances that are not polymers, one could have an allergic reaction to it, but not because of the gutta-percha itself.
I hope this clears up any misconceptions about it.

Joe,
The gutta percha used in dentistry isn't pure
gutta purcha.

Fleischer asked why now and not earlier? Mercury
poisoning is cumulative. As mercury poisoning damages the liver and
kidneys, they cannot keep up with the process of eliminating the
flow of mercury into the body from amalgam fillings. The body can become
so weakened that it cannot combat metallic poisoning.
Dental gold often conceals mercury laying underneath. My father had gold
over amalgam, and he also developed Alzheimer's, which is associated with mercury poisoning, as indicated in recent studies.
Autopsies showed that Alzheimer's patients had higher levels of mercury
in the brain, but lower levels of mercury in the fingernails, which appears to indicate a lowered level of ability to excrete mercury.
Despite the dogmatic mantra of the ADA, there
has been a huge amount of evidence in the last few years that mercury
from silver-mercury amalgams leach poisons into the saliva, outgas mercury
into the lungs, and ooze mercury into tooth dentin. The ADA is afraid that
if they admit the toxicity of amalgam, the profession will be inundated
by lawsuits. There would be so many that the dental profession would end
up bankrupt. They know the problems.
