What happened when iron fillings and water mixed?
When iron fillings are mixed with water, the iron fillings will sink to the bottom of the container due to their higher density compared to water. Since iron is not soluble in water, the iron fillings will remain as solid particles at the bottom of the container. Over time, the iron fillings may rust when exposed to oxygen in the air and moisture in the water, forming iron oxide.

Should mercury fillings be removed?
The decision to remove mercury fillings, also known as amalgam fillings, depends on individual circumstances. If the fillings are intact and not causing any issues, they typically do not need to be removed, as they are considered safe by many dental organizations. However, if there are concerns about aesthetics, potential health risks, or if the fillings are damaged, replacement with alternative materials may be considered. It's essential to consult with a dentist to evaluate the specific situation and make an informed decision.

Why is mercury used in fillings?
Dental amalgam is an acceptable material for dental fillings. It lasts a long time (15-20 years), it is very affordable, and it is easy to use. On the down side, amalgam is not cosmetic, and eventually all amalgam fillings fail and must be replaced. There are more modern materials that can be matched to the color of the tooth being filled. Some dentists have expressed concern over the possible toxic effects of mercury leaking from the amalgam. However, considering the BILLIONS of amalgam fillings that have been placed over the past century, it has not been scientifically established that amalgam poses a significant health threat. Nevertheless, you can find several websites that trumpet the horrors of alleged mercury poisoning from amalgam fillings. On a personal note, it has been my experience that dentists who encourage patients to remove all their amalgam fillings and replace them with 'non-toxic' fillings are looking to line their own pockets with gold. If a filling is clearly failing, that is one thing, but to remove a perfectly functioning amalgam (and remove more tooth structure in the process) is, in my opinion, irresponsible and unethical. Today, many dental offices are 'mercury-free'. and that is fine. As the costs of alternative materials come down, eventually amalgam fillings will simply be a quaint sidebar in the history books of dentistry.
