Diane,
I had experience with this myself when my youngest was not yet 12 months.
I had a cavity forming under a very old filling, so it couldn't wait.
My understanding is that chewing food, gum, etc, causes the release of
mercury. It is continually released. I discussed with my dentist the
fact that I was nursing. We discussed the research on mercury exposure,
etc. My dentist is experienced in the procedure and took all the proper
precautions. I did not wean. I did not have a mercury amalgam put back
in this time. My dentist would love to get the rest of the mercury out
of my mouth and so would I, but I am waiting until it becomes necessary
or I am no longer nursing.
I would suggest waiting if it is not something that has to be done
immediately.
Hope this helps.
Aloha,
Gloria Thai LLLLeader HAwai'i
