Previously, many <b>fillings <\/b>were made of an amalgam that contained silver, mercury, and other metals. While these restorations certainly served their primary purpose well enough, there came a time when both patients and doctors began to recognize some drawbacks. For one, <b>metal fillings<\/b> can actually change in size due to changes in temperature. This can lead to microscopic fractures in the tooth\u2019s enamel, a problem that can become more serious over time. <o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Though research has yet to definitively prove that the mercury content in <b>amalgam fillings<\/b> is harmful, many health-conscious patients choose <b>metal-free fillings<\/b> anyway just to remove the possibility of potential side effects.
