FILLINGS

In view of the evidence pointing to the problems with amalgam (silver) fillings you would have to be as mad as a hatter to leave them in your mouth. Silver fillings actually have less silver than mercury in them. In fact, with over fifty percent mercury, five percent copper and two percent tin, silver fillings typically have only 30-35% silver. More and more studies show the benefits of porcelain or gold fillings over mercury fillings.

The safety of both the patient and the dentist are factors in the much-needed switch away from amalgam fillings. The Canadian Dental Association has cautioned dentists to prevent contact with silver fillings. Yet the Canadian Dental Association continues to support the idea that there are no ill effects of putting these same fillings in your mouth allowing contact twenty-four hours a day. There are no known problems with placing conventional porcelain or gold fillings in your mouth because they are non-toxic, completely biocompatible, and are safe to use.
