Hi Demi,

Yes, i did have the compatibility test done. I had my amalgams removed because lymphocyte sensitivity test showed nickel and mercury to be a problem, plus toxic effects screen test showed liver damage consistant with exposure to niockel, so i had all metal removed. I was assured that the material they were replaced with was highly biocompatable (admira) my symptoms abated for a while, although my diet was still severely limited i began to feel a bit better within myself, then everything came back. I wake up throughout the night sweating and biting my cheeks, other times my mouth is just running.

I have managed to book an appt for replacement for 18 July, Dr R thinks porcelain is the safest of all, but it is £350 per filling!! he will specially order zinc phosphate sealant. He is wary of diamondlite, they do not disclose ALL the ingredients (maybe for fear of been copied)

I know what you mean about some dentists been arrogant. My NHS dentist was the first one i approached with my concerns, she told me there was NO WAY that i would have mercury under my crown and that the crown itself would not have nickel in it, she was very rude. Another dentist removed it, as she told me it would be unethical for her to do so, as it was a healthy tooth. She was wrong it did have mercury under the crown and the crown had a nickel base!!!

I do hope you find a good dentist and can get on with the safe removal of your amalgams.

Good Luck
Ann
