How safe are amalgam fillings and should I replace them? It is very likely that you asked yourself this question and wondering if it’s worth the effort and cost.
For starters, dental amalgams are made from an alloy of silver, tin, copper and zinc, combined with 50% mercury.
Based on different autopsy studies, it is evident that mercury from fillings can bioaccumulate in the brain, kidneys, liver and heart and cause a variety of health symptoms.
In my latest video, I explain in more detail the potential risk of mercury fillings and possible solutions.
