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.
