What Will Happen To Me As I Swallowed Silver-amalgam And Composite Filling?

Hi, I had two fillings yesterday without enough suctioning and as a result I swallowed some my old silver-amalgam filling that may have had mercury and tin, and some of my new filling which was a composite. What effects could this have? Thank-you, TD

Hi

Thanks for writing in.

Although mercury is toxic in nature but the amount you have swallowed is very little to cause any toxicity.
Take bananas & it will pass out in excreta.
Need not worry.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Visit you dentist for regular check- up.
