What did they replace it with, or can't they? See if you can find the message from Barb Finney (mfinney) about the alternate to gutta percha, which is used to fill the hole in the tooth before the surface filling is put on. Barb mentioned that you could have trouble finding a dentist who uses the stuff. There are several substitutes for amalgam, and my dentist (in the backwaters of Iowa) switched to them in place of amalgam many years ago. >I don't really want >to have a whopping big gap there. It isn't a back tooth, or I wouldn't be >asking this. Amalgams haven't been used for front teeth for decades. Looks too bad. If the tooth is to be pulled, then a partial denture can easily be made that fits in the space. You can't tell the difference between the denture and your other teeth (from the outside). If the denture's made right, it should work just like your natural teeth. >Can you tell me why the CS I sprayed with didn't kill the aphids?

CS can't kill something big enough to see. It doesn't kill bees directly -- it kills the bacteria that bees use to digest their food (so the bees starve to death). Aphids may not use bacteria to digest their food, so are unaffected. There are various small creatures that eat aphids (and other creatures that "herd" them, such as ants). >Can anyone take a look at my previous questions on the list and answer them, >about the making of my CS. I would be most grateful, as I am new to this, >and want to do it properly. I thought all of your other questions had been answered, many times. Perhaps that's what's confusing -- too many variations. Since you've asked several questions per message (such as this message :) it's possible that people answered one of your questions and skipped the others. How about asking one question per message so the answers are appropriate to each question. -- Dean -- from (almost) Duh Moyn (CDP, KB0ZDF) -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
