Bryanna, Thanks for the explanation of the black spot! That doesn't sound too harmful, now I won't worry about it.

I will admit that my dentist follows some of the mercury removal protocol, but not all of it. She doesn't give me oxygen to breathe, that's for sure.

I'm getting a permanent crown on Wednesday and may ask her about the precautions she uses for mercury removal.

I know she'll ask me why I didn't get a reroot treatment on tooth number 3, she's all about "saving the tooth". I tried to tell her that I didn't want to have an active infection going on in my body. She said that my bite will be off with the tooth gone and seemed very upset about that. What????

I'll keep in touch! Gretchen
