For what it's worth to anyone contemplating fillings, I have very few amalgam fillings any more, and all new ones or replacements are composite. As I mentioned earlier, all of Laureen's amalgams have been gone for over 15 years--replaced with composite. She's the PWP, as most of you know. Interestingly, dentists have always told us that the composite fillings will not last as long as the amalgam. Yet, none of my composite fillings has ever needed replacing--neither has Laureen's. Most of my amalgam fillings have. Whether or not composite fillings will prove to be harmful in the long run, one thing's for sure: The composite fillings look more natural, and they don't leach mercury vapor. Scott Scott E.
