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.
Thanks to technological advances, dentists and patients today have several choices when it comes to selecting materials to fill cavities. Among the choices are natural tooth-colored materials such as resin-based composite fillings and more traditional dental fillings such as those made of metal amalgam.
