If you're in the Morristown area, we encourage you to explore the benefits of choosing tooth-colored fillings over traditional amalgam ones.

Silver vs. Tooth-Colored Filling: What You Should Know

Tooth-colored fillings are a safer option for your health, as they are made from resin or plastic materials. In contrast, silver fillings are actually a metal alloy that contains mercury, a substance that has raised health concerns due to potential overexposure. Pregnant women, for example, are advised to avoid mercury-rich foods like tuna. While some believe amalgam fillings are safe, research on their risks can be conflicting. To minimize the potential risks associated with mercury, consider choosing tooth-colored fillings or replacing your current silver ones. Visit our Morristown, NJ office for more information on this safer alternative.
