TK--- This will depend a lot upon the dentist and no one will know

for sure without looking as x-ray does not differentiate between

metals.

That being said,do you think it's safe to start chelating,or

should i just not chance it and just have the tooth extracted

Cutting the crown away just to investigate does not seem financially

sensible,as i will then need to have the crown replaced.

I am getting ready to do one round of chelation then have my levels

checked right after.

My first dmps challenge test didn't really put me over the edge,and

i still had 11 amalgams in place.

TK--- this will have to be your decision, only you have all the info

needed to make it.

TK--- Why ? Checked How ?
