When should you replace them?
When considering replacing amalgam fillings, it’s also important to consider the potential health risks associated with mercury exposure. Amalgam fillings have been used for decades, but recent studies have shown that mercury can leak from these fillings and potentially harm certain individuals. Additionally, composite fillings offer a more natural and seamless appearance that many people prefer over the metallic look of amalgam fillings. However, it’s always best to consult with a dental professional to determine the best course of action for your individual needs and concerns.
Replacing Silver Fillings
It is very important to know the risks of mercury when replacing amalgam fillings. Studies have shown, however, that they can leak small amounts of mercury that can harm some people. Silver fillings have been in use for many years. White fillings look more natural and better match your teeth. Talk to a dentist about what would work best for you.
