It is generally safe to use peroxide with silver fillings, but prolonged exposure to high concentrations of peroxide may cause some discoloration or degradation of the filling over time. It is always best to consult with your dentist before using any new dental products to ensure they are safe for your specific dental work.

What does a dentist use to fill a cavity?

Traditional fillings are a mercury/silver mixture. These are the fillings everyone is used to seeing. On average these fillings will last 10-15 years in an adult, but they can fall out, and need to be replaced. Resin fillings are coloured to match your tooth, and have half the life-span of traditional fillings, however more people are opting to go with this type of filling for both cosmetic and health reasons, over recent concerns about mercury content in traditional silver fillings.
