Cosmetic Dentistry Blog at My Dentist USAThursday, November 20, 2008Amalgam Fillings Bad? Not So Says ADA.There is a long time fear that amalgam (silver) fillings are bad for your health, especially in the brain development of young children and their neurological status. However after a report done by The Journal of the American Dental Association they found that, there was indeed, no harm done. Mercury is known to be toxic in it's natural state to the human body, but combined with other metals such as silver, copper, tin and zinc, it forms a safe and stable alloy. Despite the alloy, many people feared the mercury would still be toxic to the human body, especially in children, since many children get their first fillings with their first cavities at relatively young ages. During the seven year study they compared two groups of children, one with amalgam fillings and one using a resin based filling. After the study, there was no difference in neurological tests. And any diminishing neurological activity that was found, was found equally in both groups and attributed to normal childhood to adolescent aging. So you can be confident that if you have the old "silver" fillings, that you're not in any danger at all. However, if the amalgam fillings are "unsightly" to you, you can always look for a Cosmetic Dentist to replace them with tooth colored resin fillings to perfect that beautiful smile that you have.

 A dental crown is a "cap" that is shaped like a tooth, which is inserted over a tooth. It covers the tooth to restore its shape, size, appearance, and strength. The crowns are cemented into place and fully cover the visible portion of the tooth. The various types of dental crowns available are metal crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and all-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns. Thanks for visiting My Dentist USA!
