Joe ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Ferry Ouwerkerk=20 To: Techdiver@Aquanaut.Com=20 Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 2:56 PM Subject: On/offgassing of tooth fillings About 7 years ago, one of my fillings popped out after what was then a = normal ascent (18 metre/minute). I had all my fillings checked then and = some replced. The last 2 years I started diving a lot more, with a = minimum of once a week, but mostly2 or 3 a week. Dives have also become = longer and deeper and it happened again, twice and on 1 dive I had to = suck the air out to keep the filling in place. Also, every 2 or 3 months = one or two fillings just have to be replaced. It looks like they just = crumble. All new fillings are being X-rayed to check for cracks and to = make sure no air is under it, or can get under it. This made me wonder, do fillings take up nitrogen/helium? Can it be = that they offgass so slow bubbles are formed within, which causes these = problems? Anyone has the same problems? Maybe the teeth itself offgas in = a way the filling comes loose? Thanks in advance for any answers Ferry PS. Yes, I do brush my teeth. ------=_NextPart_000_000C_01C124C6.EE234D20 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DTahoma size=3D2>You need a new dentist.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DTahoma size=3D2>Joe</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE=20 style=3D"BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: = 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV=20 style=3D"BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: = black"><B>From:</B>=20 <A href=3D"mailto:f.ouwerkerk@qu*.nl*" = title=3Df.ouwerkerk@qu*.nl*>Ferry=20 Ouwerkerk</A> </DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A=20 href=3D"mailto:Techdiver@Aquanaut.Com"=20 title=3Dtechdiver@aquanaut.com>Techdiver@Aquanaut.Com</A> </DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Monday, August 13, 2001 = 2:56=20 PM</DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> On/offgassing of tooth = fillings</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>About 7 years ago, one of my fillings = popped out=20 after what was then a normal ascent (18 metre/minute).
