Deb,
On the dental exam;
Once I was referred to the Cancer Center a dental group on campus was part of their multidisciplinary team that I had to go to for my exam, panoramic x-rays and fluoride trays.
Although I have Dental Insurance, It was covered by my Medical Insurance.
I didn't need any dental work and this is the first I have heard about getting rid of the metal filling ... I do have a few, so I guess if they can't zap around them I will get extra tongue burn
