First, How can I check to see if my crowns have any harmful metals in
them? The Lab my dentist used to make my front crowns claims to use
only hi-noble metals. How can I be sure of this? What if I'm being lied
to? For over a year, my left lymph gland has been swollen. I thought it
might be a sinus infection, but, it just seems too persistant. I've had
a CT scan of my sinus area; nothing. Medication, anti-biotics; nothing.
Blood work; nothing.
I've heard of Electro Dermal Screening. Is it possible to check
the level of my immune system and therfore desypher if my crowns are
causing my ailment? Any suggestions, or, references to someone who has
some answers would be grateful

    If you are getting a local reaction to the crown, you should ask your
dentist about the alloy used, which surely can be obtained from the lab.
    No casting alloys are 100% gold or platinum or palladium. Sensitivity
to these metals can cause local reactions, and I suppose that if the
inflamed area is drained by the swollen lymph gland there could be a
connection.
    I would stay away from electro dermal screening--sounds like some kind
of fringe device. If the node is inflammatory (tender) I would depend
on your doctor to try to pin down the source of the inflammation. If it
is big but not inflamed, your doctor may not be concerned, and if he/she
isn't, you shouldn't either. Some nodes are just...big.

Get a report on ALL the metals!! DO NOT TRUST THE DENTIST!!!! They
have no ethical concerns about putting Mercury in peoples mouth so they
are not to be trusted! You have the RIGHT to KNOW all the substances
they use in those metals and crowns!!
