I read a whole bunch of scary suff about mercury poisoning from dental amalgam fillings, including the development of depression, but the official ADA position is that these amalgams are perfectly 'safe.' Somebody has to be right so who is it? I have to get fillings this week so I'm going to tell the doctor I want composite or porcelain fillings, but it's possible he may shoot me down with the official ADA position so I may have to find a mercury-free dentist, and it would be considerably more expensive and time-consuming and not last as long as the silver amalgams. So is it worth it to get non-amalgam fillings?
