Please consult: With your dentist as I am sure your dentist can explain what is in the filling and if u have a cavity or dental problem and it is left untreated it could cause infection and other problems which be serious.

Safe : While mercury in its pure form is dangerous and can be absorbed by the body causing harm, numerous medical and dental studies done with the strictest scientific controls over decades have shown silver amalgam fillings to be safe and not leak mercury! So don't worry!

I am in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy. I will need a root canal on a tooth that already has a large silver filling. My dentist said not to worry about exposing the fetus to mercury in the process. Is there anything to fear? Seems conflicting info?
