I had all my amalgams out recently. I also had one tooth that a silver filling had been removed from and a composite put in - by a non-biological dentist.

There is a silvery stain at the base of the tooth, not on the gum. I saw the x-ray and there didn't appear to be any amalgam left in the tooth, but I'm concerned about the stain.

I'm planning on starting DMSA next week and am worried about pulling mercury into my broan/organs via that stain.

My dentist initially said it's no problem. Then realizing that she stood to make $1,500 from my getting a porcelein inlay, started to hem and haw a bit.

So, what's the thinking? Pay the dough and be better safe than sorry, or not worry about it?
