I really regret not ordering this book before embarking on my quest to have my mercury amalgams replaced.Most dentists want to put crowns wherever they can remotely justify it. They are usually not necessary and lead to a root canal, then removal of the tooth. I had a crown placed 8 years ago, I've had nothing but problems with it, 2 years after placement, I got a root canal. That did not solve the problem. Now, they recommend I get an apicoectomy. Lovely. More money for them. That is where they go into the gum and cut off the bottom of the root canaled tooth and fill it with something to stop the infection. This would stop the problems for a while, but eventually lead to my tooth being extracted. According to Dr. Jerome, this happens more often than not. There is a very predictable sequence of events. This is what keeps dentists in business. It makes me sick to read this book after having 2 new crowns put in recently. Over $2,000. I could have saved that much by buying this book first. Make an educated decision at the dentist's office. They are very motivated to keep you on the gravy train. After reading this book, I know to take the shortcut and have the root canaled tooth removed. I can then have a partial made, thus ridding myself of the toxic dead tooth. Most of this book is about the horrors of mercury. If you need to be convinced, this book will leave you with no doubts. He explains many dental procedures and why one is better than others for certain patients. One in 5 crowned teeth dies. This puts you back on the root canal train, then the tooth extraction train. After much expense and pain. Instead of a crown, they can do inlays or composite fillings. The dentist always wants you to do a crown. They have to saw away half of your tooth to do this, that sets you on the path of destruction. Don't spend another dime at the dentist's office until you read this book.
