  If you have a cavity, depending on the graveness of the damage done by it, some dentists would require for an extraction while others would only result for dental fillings. However, those silver coatings that cover the hole in the teeth are said to be dangerous since it contains traces of mercury. The fact that it is placed inside the mouth, poses are greater threat since some of it might be ingested. There are a lot of people who are allergic to amalgam, but dentists won’t know this not until they have tried it on their patients. Last year, The Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks said that this kind of dental filling do have indirect health and environmental effects.
