What dental fillings are the best to have for health's sake?

Which type of filling is it that makes you sick, and how does your body react to that filling?

What dental fillings are the best to have for health's sake?
Dental amalgam is a stable alloy made by combining elemental mercury, silver, tin, copper and possibly other metallic elements. Although dental amalgam continues to be a safe, commonly used restorative material, some concern has been raised because of its mercury content. However, the mercury in amalgam combines with other metals to render it stable and safe for use in filling teeth.





While questions have arisen about the safety of dental amalgam relating to its mercury content, the major U.S. and international scientific and health bodies, including the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Public Health Service, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization, among others have been satisfied that dental amalgam is a safe, reliable and effective restorative material.
Reply:Years ago, they used silver fillings in your teeth. Now they use


a compound of some kind. There was a push on for awhile,


by dentists encouraging their patients to come in and have


their old silver fillings removed and the safe compound ones


put in their places. Now it would really be expensive to use


silver. So isn't done.
