What about if a woman wears an acrylic orthodontic retainer following years of wearing braces? Should she discontinue wearing the retainer for a year or so?

What if she suffers from TMJ problems and wears an acrylic nightguard to avoid intolerable muscle pain? Over a long period of time, the plastic from the nightguards is milled away by teeth, mostly at night. Where does the BPA go?

Just how big of a threat is BPA? Are we better off with or without the chemical? Are we better off with or without the fear?

The stakes are high. Be accountable for what you advise. Cause no harm.

Dear BritishClinic:

I have been thinking about what could be a little-known dilemma that warrants serious discussion in the nation. Suppose a woman is early in pregnancy, and it is discovered that she has a small cavity. Should she wait nine months (or longer if she is breast feeding) before having the cavity filled by a holistic dentist?

It probably does not help that pregnancy sometimes causes craving for sweets.

I understand that you are not a dentist, and it is honorable of you to sponsor such important discussions as this. Perhaps one of the dentists you refer between has an answer for your audience.

I have already heard that one should not have silver fillings placed or removed if a woman is pregnant, does the same hold true for the new plastic fillings that contain BPA?

Thanks for your information.

Here is another concern: From what I can tell, denture plastic, as well as composite fillings, sealants and porcelain adhesives, all contain BPA as well. You mentioned that heat accelerates the release of vapor from amalgam fillings. Is BPA released from denture plastic when someone smokes a short cigar, for example?

How about tooth-colored polycarbonate crowns that are put on badly broken down baby teeth instead of ugly stainless steel ones? Baby teeth start erupting into the infant’s mouth at six months. Will fruit juices accelerate the release of the estrogen-mimicking compound? How about stomach acids?

I think society needs answers really soon because it looks like amalgam fillings are going to be outlawed in all modern countries. I think it would be a tremendous mistake to replace amalgam fillings with materials that you say could be even more toxic.

Nice work, Dr. Coffman

Dear British Clinic: What are you talking about? Read the question, please: “If one has composite dental fillings, which contain BPA, removed from one’s mouth, should the person go through detoxification?”
Nowhere is there any mention of amalgam fillings. Everyone knows that those are toxic.
