Dental Amalgam

Dental Amalgam is a commonly used dental filling that has been used for over 150 years. It is a mixture of mercury with at least one other metal.  Traditionally, it has been a primary restorative material, but advances in composite (tooth colored) and glass ionomer restorative materials have resulted in amalgam being used only in very limited situations. 



The American Dental Association Council on Scientific Affairs has concluded that both amalgam and composite materials are considered safe and effective for tooth restoration.
