Amalgam

Amalgam filling

Amalgam is commonly used to treat and fill cavities. It is used to treat cavities based on its strength and durability. Amalgam is the most inexpensive type of filling compared to other options such as porcelain, composite or gold.

 Amalgam is made of an equal amount of elemental liquid mercury and an alloy powder containing silver, copper, tin and usually a small amount of zinc.

Amalgam controversy is a debate over the use of amalgams, which contain mercury, as a dental filling.  Some people beleive that having metal in your body is dangerous to your health. It is recomended to research this on your own. If you are allergic to mercury, your dentist will not recommend any use of mercury .

Ask your dentist about more information.
