Hello all,

I'm starting a procedure of replacing my old amalgam fillings. (8 of
them).
Which is the best filling material and bonding agent to use instead?

I have heard the composite fillings are toxic as well?

Any advice? I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you!
Gal.

Why are they being replaced? There is a whole gammut of replacement
materials starting with Amalgam itself, composite, Porcelaine, Gold,
Crowns, extraction and replacement with implants or bridges or partials.

Ask your dentist to enumerate his or her understanding of these
materials and why s/he is pushing the one(s) s/he is.
