By replace, I meant with an implant. Although I haven't (and can't) decided since I haven't even seen a dentist for a consultation yet. I will definitely detox the homeopathic way (should've made myself clear =X), but I don't think I'm poisoned to the point where I need to chelate desperately. I have found an IAOMT dentist around my area (Eugenia Rosenthal DDS in case anyone has dealt with her before), and her prices for replacing amalgams are reasonable ($125-275 / tooth). The initial consultation fee is about $200 though, so I'm reluctant to go to her immediately. If I don't feel comfortable with any particular dentist, I will look for another one. I don't want to end up having more work done after this.

Thank you so much for the info on cavitations. I will make sure to bring it up, although I don't think any dentist will appreciate a seventeen year old telling him/her how to do the job<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lisasimpson.jpg" alt="" />. Haha.
