Hi Ladies-  I just chipped my already chipped tooth even further.  I'd like to get it bonded as it is my front tooth.  My teeth have gotten extremely brittle.  I know that there's something about amalgam's not being good?  Is there an alternative dentist that any of you know of in NY?  Or is the stuff they bond not actually that bad?  Thanks for your health.  I'm pretty bummed right now.

The dentists usually use composites(white fillings) in front teeth anyhow because they show.  Amalgams are more used for fillings in other teeth.  I had my amalgams removed years ago and was glad I did.  It did make a difference in my health.  I have all composites in my mouth now.  The regular dentist can do that.

That's wonderful to hear, because the idea of finding a whole new dentist that might not specialize in cosmetic dentistry seemed really daunting.  Thanks!
