A dentist in Japan replaced my amalgams with a substance he identified
as "Herculite." It is a brand of composite. I found it mentioned
here:

I have been quite satisfied. The appearance is much better, and the
material has proven quite durable after several years.
The amalgams had lasted for more than three decades, but I notice a
steady improvement in my health after having had them removed.
Hope this helps. Herculite worked well for me.

OK -- I've got a small cavity in a tooth that was previously filled
with silver. The old filling has to be removed in order to deal with
the new cavity. This is a good time to eliminate the silver
completely in that tooth. What exactly should I request the dentist
refill the tooth with? MA
