Sorry if this is in the wrong bit but wanted to post where more people will see it ...

My problem is this ...

Went to the dentist yesterday & she told me that my (one) amalgam filling is leaking & she wants to replace it. Fine, made the appropriate appointment & left.

However, this morning whilst awake at stupid o'clock I googled leaking fillings (I know, I know ) & am now very confused about the whole procedure & the effect it may have on my little (6m) boy.

Apparently it's a more complicated procedure than a normal filling removal with extra precautions to be taken, (I've not been warned about anything) as i will be exposed to Mercury when she drills. This is obviously a worry as I am breastfeeding & didn't really have any desire to stop.

Just wondering if anyone has also had to have this done whilst BF'ing & how they managed it as I didn't really want to introduce formula but expressing wise, I don't get as much even with an electric pump.

So sorry for the long post but I'm very confused & actually getting a little bit bothered
by it. 😢

Oh yea, this is before I even think about the mercury I've been slowly feeding my baby via my milk. 😭


Thanks in advance xxx

I think when dealing with something like mercury and then in the context of bfing the best and only perople you should be asking is your GP/breast care support nurse/Health visitors.

Hope you get the answer your looking for.
