You can go to any dentist and get a panoramic xray done. You can also ask for a copy of it or keep the original if you wish.

From that xray, you should be able to see if there is remaining amalgam under the white composites. If you want, you can get it scanned and put it on your computer and show it on the forum.

You can never be sure because we put our trust fully in these people, but so often trust has been broken so its no wonder people are now ultra wary of those in the medical/dental industry, and for good reason. Not always a great track record!

So you're not alone in asking these questions.

And yes you could have another problem as well as mercury or aside from mercury. It's very difficult to know, because so many things are just not readily detected unless they are blatantly obvious.
