Do you have fillings in your mouth? If you or members of your family have fillings you will want to read further. Do you know what the fillings are made of and what the consequences of each different type might be to your oral health?
Watch this video and find out what you need to know to protect your teeth. It gives you a clear overview of existing amalgams.
A most common practice with dental amalgams for many years was to use a mixture of Mercury with at least one other metal. This mixture was cost effective and caused relatively few side effects in patients. These amalgams also lasted for a long time. As various other techniques have evolved new restorative materials have been created that offer you, as a patient, a number of other options. When making your decision you should consider such things as appearance and durability.
It is important to know that whatever you do to your mouth it will not wear out in a few years and require additional treatment. Having a consultation with your dentist so that you can truly understand all of your options is a great place to start. As with most things cost may be a factor as well. If you are on a budget make sure you understand the price of the initial treatment as well as any potential maintenance.
Watch this short video where we will share with you the full truth about amalgams. It’s information that you truly want to know!
All the best,
Dr. Gregg & Dr. Springer
