Hi Bex,

Thanks for the reply, very helpful as usual.

I agree that any additional testing is good, I'm just struggling to find out where in the UK I can get the blood drawn correctly for the test.

I am using a biological dentist and I've have been impressed so far (I have had 16 amalgams replaced).

I'm not sure if there is amalgam under the crown, I seem to remember that the tooth underneath broke away due to a combination of decay and amalgam filling.

If I continue to have difficulty finding a blood drawing clinic relatively close to home, I am tempted to have the new Cerec installed. This way I get rid of the Palladium and can have any amalgam cleared out at the same time.

Thanks again Bex,
