You may have heard some worrying things about BPA, or Bis-Phenol A, a compound in tooth-colored dental fillings, but don’t go rushing back to silver amalgam just yet. While it is good to avoid BPA, which has been shown to be endocrine-disrupting and has been linked to a wide variety of problems, we don’t have to decide which is the lesser of two evils. We can leave tooth-colored fillings with BPA and and the dangers of mercury poisoning that come with amalgam fillings behind, because\u00a0there are numerous tooth-colored materials available that are free of BPA.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have fillings that contain BPA, don’t feel like you need to rush to have them taken out and replaced with BPA-free fillings,\u00a0as this would mostly only weaken the teeth and do more harm than good overall.<\/strong>\u00a0The release of BPA from fillings drops off sharply after the first 24 hours. Ideally, we can get BPA-free fillings in the first place, but if that isn’t possible, we can simply switch to a BPA-free material after the current fillings wear out.<\/p>\nDon’t Jump To Replace Your Composite Fillings<\/h3>\n
