Maybe 5 years ago when I had my last filling my dentist said he did amalgam, I think it was the only ones that insurance covered 100% but I paid more for porcelain. Anyone know if amalgam is still used today?

I have a bunch of amalgam and my dentist says they are in good condition and doesn’t pressure me into replacing them.

I had one replaced but the dentist that removed it just drilled it out and I’m betting I was exposed to bad stuff.

I then went to a holistic place to see about removing the rest of my amalgam fillings, safely, and they talked me into first replacing one filling in a tooth that had a porcelain filling but they said it had signs of a cavity.

Well, long story short, that ended up turning into a root canal. And I just have given up and am still with a bunch of amalgam.
