Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi, After hearing many horror stories about amalgam beneath crowns, I had my gold crown removed and replaced. My dentist believes that gold crowns can become contaminated with mercury. Although there were some " small black pockets which were possibly amalgam " , for the most part the area under the crown was fine. This is one of the toughest decisions for people who want to chelate...

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 The only serious concern is to chelate with amalgam under the crowns. As for the material of the crowns, it seems it doesn't matter too much for chelation. > > Hi. > > I think I have the same type of question as " cfiatzph.
