I need to have an amalgam-filled tooth treated for a cavity underneath the filling.
The dentist is willing to remove the filling using the rubber dam method which minimizes my exposure to mercury, and then replace it with a ceramic filling.
Would it be better for me just to have the tooth extracted? I'm assuming that this will also result in some mercury being released.
Any advice please?
