Not likely: Never heard of any association of the two, much less a direct link. Cannot imagine how they could be related. You might check online for any info. Good Luck.

Pseudoscience: There is no evidence that shows any correlation between having dental fillings and increased risks for prostate enlargement. Ask your dentist for more information.

Prostate Hyperplasia: Exact cause is unknown, but most likely due to hormones and growth factors, none of which are remotely related to dental fillings.
