I recently went to my biological dentist that I now go to for regular checkups (after having had my almagams removed by a regular dentist because of financial reasons). She said that she could see "dark" spots coming through my composit. She looked at the x-rays that they had taken when I first came to her (about 2 years ago) and said that there was still mercury under my composits. I don't know why they would not have noticed this before. There were different looking areas on the x-rays, but that doesn't mean anthing to mean so I was skeptical that it really was until I got home and looked at my tooth with a mirror and sure enough, there is a metal looking spot in the middle that was not there before!

I'm wondering- how is it "seeping" through the composit? Has anyone else had this experience? I asked for a ballpark figure for only replacing the one and she said @$330. We can't afford that and I don't think that I can go through more replacements.

Interestingly, I had several test done last fall and I didn't have any mercury show up-even with the urine test with DMSA. I know that I probably still have it stored in "safe" places, but can this new development cause that all to change?
