The reaction in this case may be a mild form of heart trouble. Remove the gold and the problem goes too. If such a sensitivity to metals exists, the dentist cannot use them for your fillings, particularly silver, since its effect is worse than that of gold. However, the degree of sensitivity will vary from one person to another, depending on the individual’s constitution, especially the lymphatic system.

When fitting a crown, a good dentist will take great care to see that it fits well. It must come well up into the neck of the tooth, leaving no space, as this would become a breeding ground for micro-organisms. Neither should a crown be too long, as this might cause irritation and inflammation. The solution to these problems depends upon the dentist’s skill. A loose crown can lead to suppurative conditions and an abscess formation which, when prematurely closed in, can cause the most dreadful pain imaginable because of the gases that are produced that have no way out. Under such painful circumstances the taking of anodyne drugs will be unavoidable. A further consequence of incorrect treatment could be the infiltration of bacterial toxins into the system, a situation that is not only bad for health but can endanger one’s life. The heart may be affected; it may even stop beating momentarily. Great skill and experience in natural treatment methods would then be required to eradicate such an infiltration.
