He is 9 and they are adult teeth. We are raw foodists and eat naturally. I am afraid the mercury could be harmful to him because he absorbs things into his body better than other kids do.
I understand your concern. There isn't any solid evidence to show that the mercury from dental fillings cause harm to children or adults when placed. If there was, it would definitely be banned. If you are concerned about it, I would recommend placing white composite fillings (which are basically plastic).
