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.
Dental fillings break down â fillings have a life expectancy of eight to 10 years. However, they can last 20 years or longer. When the fillings in your mouth start to break down, food and bacteria can get underneath them and can cause decay deep in the tooth.
