Should a child have 3 silver fillings?
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.
