If you want to save money and your teeth in dentistry, one should avoid having the amalgam mercury fillings placed from the very beginning. One third of the tooth structure has to be removed in order to place amalgam fillings. This leads to expensive dental work later, like crowns, after the metal material expands and contracts causing hairline cracks in the tooth.
Years ago the composite materials may have been inferior but today many holistic cosmetic dentists never use anything but composite and they do hold up. Composite materials will strengthen the tooth structure and unnecessary tooth material does not need to be removed.
METAL crowns may cause severe allergic reactions in some people, according to the research of the Melisa Foundation who test people for allergies to metals. Amalgam is also a metal that is one half mercury.
