Kacy,
The silver stuff is called amalgam..it contains about 50% mercury..heard of "the mad hatter"

At least I always fought not to get it put in my kdids mouths. It has been banned in many European countries I think. It s what a lot of dentists still use over here for back teeth.I had Biodent Diamond Crown..I know it is available in Canada and New Zealand. I have not heard of a anyone in the US using it. Unfortunately it doesn't last any longer than normal composites despite the hype..but it has no fluoride, other junk or taste. Of course there is also the bonding material to consider..I didn't go into that ..most dentists think I'm obsessive enough already!

One day, I am going to have to get cerec for a few teeth..this is very exxy..but the only alternative to amalgam in huge fillings..like that go beneath the gum line and make up mmost of the tooth. Either hthat is getting my teeth pulled out I guess..had one done that way already.
