Hey Mrsfancypants! While I am pretty sure I have amalgam fillings, I personally would opt for the white. It looks better and I have heard many people say the metal in the amalgam fillings are not good for a person’s general health. I have also heard the metal could be what triggers autoimmune illness. No doctor has ever told me this and I don’t know it to be actual fact. As long as you have a choice pick the safest one.

Best wishes,

Pam

hi Pam

Thanks. I had decided since posting to opt for the white filling , mercury is toxic after all and we need all the help we can get !!! Thankyou xxx.
