The decision to use silver fillings, or amalgam fillings, for a child depends on several factors, including the extent of tooth decay, the child's age, and the dentist's recommendation. Silver fillings are durable and can effectively restore teeth, but they contain mercury, which raises concerns for some parents. If the cavities are significant and the dentist believes amalgam is the best option for durability, it may be appropriate. However, it's essential to discuss all available filling materials, including composite resins, to make an informed choice.
Why does the dentist always ask if you are pregnant?
== == The dentist will only take x rays that are completely necessary. And they probably won't take any in the first trimester.

If you don't want an x ray, you can refuse to have one until later in your pregnancy or after you have the baby. White fillings are safe. Local anesthesia is safe. X-rays are not safe for the baby. Some drug medications are not safe. Most dentists agree that silver fillings are not safe.
