White tooth fillings to replace silver fillings
 Many people
have had silver fillings placed into their teeth because they had "cavities". These silver fillings are called amalgams. Amalgam fills the space where the decay in the tooth has been removed.However, over time, the amalgam corrodes and leaks which blackens the silver, and many times the tooth. This is easily seen as soon as a patient opens his or her mouth and is usually a source of embarrassment for the patient.
Amalgam contains mercury and a host of other metals. Its
potentially negative health effects are a source of controversy.
With modern technological advancements, better materials are available.
Incidentally, once amalgam is removed from your mouth, it is then
classified as hazardous waste. Is the mouth an appropriate place
to house hazardous waste? We don't believe in taking the chance.
