Dental amalgam is a primitive filling material made of between 43 and 54 percent mercury. Amalgam fillings are commonly called as âsilver fillingsâ â a marketing term that deceives many consumers into believing that amalgam is mainly silver, which is only a minor component of amalgam. Amalgam is not stable after it is implanted into human teeth â it constantly releases mercury vapor into your body. And this mercury bioaccumulates.
What to Expect During a FILLING. 1  Local anesthesia â at the beginning of your filling procedure, you may be given local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. 2  Tooth decay removal â then the dentist will cut through the enamel using a drill to remove any decay. After the dentist removes the decay, the dentist will shape the space to ready it for the filling. Etching â for a bonded filling your dentist will etch the tooth with an acid gel before placing the filling.
