How many silver mercury fillings do you have in your mouth? Are you aware that the silver fillings in your teeth actually unleash dangerous mercury vapor into your central nervous system every time you chew? Mercury poses serious health threats to all children and adults, which has led many nations to either ban silver fillings or strongly advocate for their limitation.
The FDA has acknowledged the dangers of mercury: “The average filling has 1 gram of mercury and leaks mercury vapor continuously… resulting in significant exposure for most [people] with amalgam fillings. Mercury vapor is transmitted rapidly throughout the body, easily crosses cell membranes, and… has significant toxic effects at much lower levels of exposure than other inorganic mercury forms.” Somehow, despite this knowledge, the FDA and ADA still allow silver mercury fillings as standard treatments in the dental community. The good news is that you know better than to accept silver mercury fillings. Many safer and healthier alternatives exist that can preserve your teeth without jeopardizing your well being!
Your Alternative Options
Composite resin, porcelain, and zirconium are all potential replacements for silver mercury fillings, but composite resin has become the most popular choice based on appearance, cost, and durability. These composite fillings are made from a type of plastic reinforced with powdered glass. They do not contain mercury, but they do preserve healthy tooth structure and last much longer than silver fillings.
