Updated FDA guidance stated that fillers can lead to health problems for those with hypersensitivity to mercury.
Amalgam is a mixture of a group of metals, including mercury, silver, copper and tin.
For years, the US Food and Drug Administration and the American Dental Association confirmed that the material is safe, but there are those who have called for dental fillings that do not contain mercury since the 1970s.

Kidneys, and people with pre-existing neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease.
Amalgam fillings are widely used because they are strong, durable, and less expensive than other fillers, but over time it can release small amounts of mercury vapor. The amount of steam released depends on the amount of grinding of their teeth and the specific filling life.
