Look, I wasn't even sweating those extra couple of bucks... I just insisted they swap out my old filling—which was actually pretty recent, by the way—because the dentist told me amalgam is superior when you're working close to the nerve. So they swapped it, and honestly? Everything's fine.
It just kills me that my sister kept trying to convince me this whole thing was just some massive, unnecessary panic over amalgams. She even had the nerve to tell me she just got them herself recently! Apparently, they’re still teaching that they're perfectly fine in dental school, aside from the fact that they turn your teeth black...
I'm genuinely curious, does anyone actually know what the deal is here? What's the real truth behind all this?!?!
