hi Stuart, I'm really sorry to hear about your reactions to your new dental materials. I don't know which part of Virginia you're in, but I know of an outstanding dentist in Northern Virginia. His name is Dr. Robert B. Johnson and he specializes in mercury removal, detox and biocompatible dental materials. He is also a Doctor of Integrative Medicine. I know 3 people who have used him and my traditional internal medicine doctor refers patients to him. Here is a link to his facility and you'll be able to read his Curriculum Vitae here as well:

And here is a link from the same site to another page with his photo and more info:

Dr. Johnson also is affiliated with my new holistic/biological dentist, Dr. Mark McClure. I don't know how many days a week he is in that office, but here is a link to that practice in Washington, D.C.

My dentist, as well as Dr. Johnson do perform testing on patients to determine allergies and sensitivities to existing dental materials in the mouth. They will also test you on any new materials that will be used.

Good luck.
