Hi JK98, very sorry to hear of the chemical sensitivity and have heard of this being connected to mercury (and candida).

Have you been tested for the replacement materials before you get them put in? To make sure you do not have any unnecessary reactions? Problem is, it's a bit of dilemma because if you have alot of mercury in you, you can react in an exaggerated way to almost anything...

So sometimes with chelation, you can find your sensitivities getting less (food included). But to be extra certain. it is wise to do as many tests as you can on dental materials and see which ones come up the least offensive to your immune system. I am not sure about the accuracy of these tests, but I would probably do it anyway.

You can also ask for a sample of the material (hard sample) from the dentist (this should include composite, bond and lining) and do a cheek and gum test to check for oral reactions or in fact any reactions. You just hold it in your mouth for a few hours each day and see how you feel with it (between gum and cheek).

Other than that, or alongside that you would be wise to get a serum compatibility test and any other test too can be helpful. Whatever materials seems to come out best in all tests is a pretty good bet you'll be ok with it. There are always contradictions, but some materials can seem to come out ok on all.
