My main problem is whether temporary fillings and mercury vapour testing is absolutely necessary. I'm reading alot of conflicting views on here.
Dr Hesham does provide this, but on the other hand, he doesn’t use a rubber dam and other precautions and it also means me travelling down from the North.

I have found this dentist in Leeds which I've never heard mentioned on this forum which seems to specialise in mercury procedures and follow all the precautions. I'd be grateful if anyone more knowledgeable than me on the matter could give me an opinion on it.

But as I've said above my main problem is whether mercury vapour testing with a 0% reading is absolutely necessary. My completely unprofessional opinion is leaving towards the fact that the vast majority of mercury is removed leaving only tiny amounts in the teeth, which I would hope to be below safe levels. I try to be as realistic about the matter as possible, as we are constantly exposed to small amounts mercury through external sources regardless of our fillings, so is a 0% reading vital? Or is it just a way for a dentist to make a bit more money?

Oh and this is my first post, so hello to everyone, I looking forward to participating in future discussions when my knowledge on the subject becomes more detailed.
