I am 25 yrs old. We had a big family and going to the dentist was something we never did. We barely got to the doctor. Mom did lots of home remedies or we just rode it out.

It was painful and bloody but boy do my teeth look so much better. of course I have cavities since I had never been to a dentist, 8 cavities. I was really nervous about it but my dentist said they will be white fillings with no mercury in them. \u00a0I am happy they will be white.When did they stop putting mercury in fillings? &#8211; tim<\/p>\n<p>Tim &#8211; Amalgam fillings, or silver fillings, are still in use by many dentists, and they still contain mercury.<\/p>\n<p>You are fortunate to find <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-mercury-free-dentist.html\">a dentist who will use white composite fillings<\/a> in your teeth. White fillings will blend in naturally with your teeth. They do not contain mercury. White fillings were first introduced in the 1970s, and the technology progressively improved through the mid-80s.<\/p>\n<p>Today, white fillings are commonly used to naturally conceal cavities, and the technology behind them is excellent for filling cavities in front and back teeth. A dentist who is skilled in placing them will give you lasting results.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\">by Metairie, New Orleans dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have never been to the dentist until now.
