- FillingsI have not placed an amalgam filling since 1998; not because they are unhealthy - that's not been proven beyond flimsy anecdotes - but because there are better, durable, more esthetic materials. I feel more confident in bonding a filling, as oposed to undercutting a tooth to lock a restoration in place, such as is done in the case of amalgam. A meticulously placed composite restoration (with emphasis on meticulous) has the potential to last for many years. I do not subscribe to the wholesale replacement of serviceable amalgam fillings for the purported benefit of health in any way, and there is no basis on which to hope for such benefit. In my opinion, a person has more to fear from the sodium in table salt than the metals in a filling. Mercury is harmelss when combined with the components in a dental amalgam. The only time mercury is released from the amalgam is during placement and removal. I do not place them, and I choose only to remove them when necessary. Count on that to preserve your health.
