Let's talk about silver (aka amalgam) fillings and debunk the mercury mystery! If mercury is harmful, why is it used inside of silver fillings?
Amalgam fillings have been used for decades. And even according to the FDA, removing amalgam fillings isn’t always advised. The risk of possible mercury exposure is extremely low and tends to be highest when you’re physically placing or removing amalgam fillings, because of the vapors that are created during the process. While there could potentially be a risk of mercury release whenever you’re chewing or grinding your teeth together, it’s extremely low.
According to both dental experts and the FDA, silver fillings are safe for anyone who isn’t considered “high risk”, has neurological conditions, or is susceptible because of a known allergy.
If you have silver fillings, you don’t have to freak out. Yes, as a chemical in the environment, mercury is harmful. But when it’s combined with other metals as an alloy it can be extremely safe for repairing damaged teeth. It’s generally not recommended to have your amalgam fillings removed unless they’re starting to wear out or leak. More attractive and less-invasive materials are making silver fillings less common, but they still have a place in today’s dental offices. As a general rule, the FDA only recommends that you decline silver fillings if you’re in an at-risk population or have known neurological or allergy concerns.
