I've had them and flossing cured it.
I used to smoke a pipe and crunching the stem gave me headaches.
Now what of a pressure packed filling?..one that got compressed onto a nerve by chewing something?
Definitely a filling problem, but not necessarily a mercury problem. [Not that it "couldn't" be]
But replacing the filling would cure the headaches either way and you get to blame anything you want without knowing anything at all.
In this case, the problem with the amalgum is 'most likely' a structural one, not a systemic one.
Last year I pressurized a large filling so much that it expanded enough to micro crack the tooth.
$1,800 later......no more headaches, all the other teeth became much less sensitive and a shiny gold thing appeared.
What was god thinking when we got in line for all those tooth nerves connected directly to our heads?

about 20 years ago I began having headaches that emanated from my teeth. At that time I went to two dentist who told me it was in my head. (I actually agree, it was in my head). One even went so far as to recommend psychiatric treatment, telling me I was imagining it. I lived with it for a while longer and decided I was having a valid experience of a pain coming from my teeth to my head. I then went and had my fillings removed and a process called gold foil done. It's repeated layering of gold. I only wish I had known more about the hazards of Amalgam. While a dam was used I don't think any other precautions where used. A year after I had all the Amalgam removed 20/20 ran the first report on the dangers of mercury based fillings.<<<<
Recently I came across a web site of a dental organization specializing in removal of amalgam and called concerned about the use of gold foil fillings. I was told that they are the preferred filling. I haven't had any difficulties with them, but since I did all of this based on my personal experience before this Amalgam issue was well known.

I don't think there is a gold filling material, at least I have never heard of it, and have never seen it.
Are you thinking of what they make crowns and caps out of?
