Oh, you bet I'll tell everyone what happened last time. But I am concerned that they might not believe me, in that they'll say my mood plunge was exclusively due to stress of having the gum surgery in the first place. That's why I'm trying to become as informed as possible.Another thing about dentistry (mouth): dentist, periodontist, and psychiatrist all scoff at my questions about mercury fillings and depression. I wish they didn't scoff so much. Actually, I had several of those so called silver (colored) fillings removed and replaced with another material about a week before the surgery because they were so old and starting to fall apart. I wondered if some of my trouble could have come from swallowing or otherwise ingesting some of the material. But like I said, every professional involved in my care dismissed the possibility. I suppose that's material for a whole other thread.
> I don't know, but it's worth asking. DEFINITELY TELL your doctor about what happened last time. That's what I did when I went in for gall bladder surgery and i sailed through that.
