Homeopathic? I think not.

I went to a "homeopathic" dentist, today,  in hopes of having my amalgam fillings removed and replaced with something more natural. Instead, I met a clueless dentist. 

In the area right next to me (rooms were not private, they were more like stations with partial walls on each side), my husband overheard another patient asking if something she was about to use had fluoride in it. Clearly, the patient didn't want the dentist to use any fluoride treatments. Why would she? That's the whole reason for going to a holistic dentist... to get natural treatments. Unfortunately, it seemed the dentist didn't even have a clue about what she was using.

When the dentist made her way to my "station" she asked the reason for my visit. When she heard the words cancer and removal of amalgam fillings, she froze for a second. She didn't even bother looking at the pictures of the fillings the dental assistant took. She didn't even ask to look in my mouth! 

She asked me when my surgery was for the cancer. Not that it should have mattered, in my opinion, but I told her that I was taking a completely natural approach to battling this cancer. 

The dentist just couldn't fathom for a second why someone with cancer would ever reject surgery. She acted like she had no clue why someone in my situation would want the amalgam fillings removed. She even went so far as to verbally say that because I have cancer she didn't feel comfortable treating me, because she was worried that legally she'd get into trouble if something should happen! 

She tried to backtrack a little and stated that it was part of her job to remove silver fillings and provide "good dentistry", but only for those individuals whom are "healthy" and I was "not healthy". 

How frustrating! If this dentist doesn't agree with the holistic approach then she shouldn't be calling herself a homeopathic dentist. 

Clearly, she doesn't believe in what she is doing and still has the mindset of most doctors whom are taught to be the sheep of their industries and do conventional treatments.

Homeopathic? I think not. It would seem that she only calls herself homeopathic for, seemingly, nothing more than to attract those patients trying to be healthier so that she can make more money.
