My purpose in posting this is not to try to incite a debate about
mercury amalgam safety.  I assume this group gets PLENTY of that.  Even

curious about what most dentists do and will most likely not even be

What's a parapost?

Consider the following. A Dentist or the group they work in
is classified by the FDA as the manufacturer of the product.
Therefore I'm guessing if the product leaked and cause toxicity they
would be liable for 3-5 years from the time of discovered exposure as a

How much money does it cost for a crown? "approximately".  I had a root
canal done today "painless", couldn't believe it.  Anyway, I need a
crown on Jan 7th.  Root canal was free, crown will cost me 20%.  Anyway,
ballpark figure will do.  Thanx in advance and Merry Xmas.....P.S.. ...

Oh I forgot. Wait another year and it means another CEREC!
