Uh yea, that's where I am. I live in a little town, with a tiny population. We don't even have a dentist, but the neighboring towns do. NONE of them believe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nausea.gif" alt="" />, everyone is pretty traditional here. They are even mostly that way in the city. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> There are several that will not place mercury, and only one that will remove safely (that I know of, and it took me 2 years to find him), and HUNDREDS that put in amalgam. This is a city of half-a-milion people, where I grew up. It is ridiculous.

Mikey, do you mind me asking what your total was around, out of pocket for your removal? I'm very interested to see what I'm up against. Also, what area are you from? Thanks.
