Filling material like silver amalgam is harmful for health. Light cured filling ( tooth color filling material) are harmless.

There are  still controversial statements about silver amalgam fillings. I have been working with it for the past 40 years,so far no adverse effects of the said fillings  are seen. Till today I feel that silver amalgam fillings are the best fillings for their longevity & stability
Health Tips
If patients are not concerned about the aesthetics, properly done silver amalgam fillings are the best fillings.
