Re: OT-dentist appointment/ANDY opinion on amalgameters, etc

[Guest guest]

Andy,

While we have you here: what is your opinion on the use of the

amalgameters, biocompatability testing (is it bloodwork?) and other

preop options that are offered by dentists?

I've always told people to skip that part, but it would be nice to

know if I am correct or spewing nonsense.

Thanks,

Pam
