Hi Ann,

Did your dentist give you a biocompatibility test? If you have one of those done, he/she might be able to suggest a material that is suitable.

I know how hard it is to find a good dentist. I'm still trying! Russ listed some yesterday in the UK that use diamondlite (although the phone numbers didn't seem right). I believe Dr Harvie-Austin in London is the lead in this field, so he might be the best person to see - although going there is a bit scary at the moment. I looked up the dentists listed and there was one in Sussex, can't remember where the other one was.

I saw a holistic dentist in my area this week who was absolutely appallingly awful, both in his knowledge and his manner. I'm very reluctant to try a holisitic one again. He was too extreme, for my taste, as well as arrogant and rude. I just wanted my fillings replaced, not comments on my skeleton and jaw etc.

I want to have biocompatibility test done because I don't want to replace the mercury with something else that might cause problems. I don't generally have allergic reactions to things so I'm pretty sure I won't have a problem with diamondlite, but if possible I would like some kind of test done just to be sure.
