Is Mercury in Amalgam Harmful to the Body?

The mercury in amalgam fillings is not toxic. When mercury combines with other metals, its chemical structure changes and becomes harmless. The amount of mercury released in the mouth as a result of the use of amalgam fillings is much smaller than the amount taken in water, air and food. However, care should be taken when removing and replacing the fillings, and work with a strong aspirator.
