Dental amalgam or silver filling is a safe, durable, and affordable material that is used to restore teeth. It is made up of a mixture of metals like tin, silver, copper, and mercury, and is chemically bound into a safe and stable substance.

Dental amalgam has a fairly consistent safety record and cases have been reviewed extensively. Except for rare cases where patients are sensitive to mercury, the US Public Health Service says that there are no health reasons not to use dental amalgam. This supports the conclusions of the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institute of Dental Research, which says that amalgam fillings are safe and effective. Besides this, people are more exposed to mercury from water, air and food than the mercury vapor in amalgam fillings.
