firstly why is diamondlite the best, from many discussions on this forum nobody can actually ascertain whether it is any better than a normal composite. Just because Harvie-Austin uses this filling material doesn't mean he is any good.

Harvie -austin checked my teeth and said there was no amalgam and mercury wasn't my problem. how then, did i have very high levels of mercury when tested with a vapour analyser and improved immediately after this was removed by another dentist?

Harvie-Austin also unnecessarily removed an upper molar thinking it was causing me problems. This was painful and he didn't stitch it properly. I had an x-ray with a further dentist which shows some of the tooth root had been left in my mouth!! this could have in time become infected and caused a multitude of problems for me. How can he be good at cavitations if he doesn't even have the proper diagnostic tools like a CAVITAT scan?? john ahearne appears to be good in the Uk and dr shankland in the US (www.drshankland.com).

Again this is just my personal experience but I do not think that Harvie Austin is good. If he is president for the British society of mercury free dentistry ask yourself what has he ever done for awareness of the issue. Yes, he was trained under hal huggins but so what? that in itself doesn't make him a good dentist.

I hope this helps, all just my personal views and i hope your experiences are more positive than mine. I wanted to be candid and tell you exactly what happened so that you can make an informed decision

best regards
