There is no need to panic about an amalgam filling. Mercury is not in a free state to cause any health issues. Moreover it is globally well accepted and time immemorial. Anyone who says about such stupid things may be due to their ignorance.
Well another thing is nowadays many tooth colored filling material have come and it has replaced the amalgam. In my clinical practice I have totally stopped using amalgam fillings and give tooth colored fillings. Mainly due to their aesthetic concern and patients acceptance and not due to any other reasons.
