You should feel very secure that the many organizations responsible for protecting the public's health have said time and time again that amalgam fillings are safe. Those organizations include the World Health Organization, United States Public Health Service, the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration. Today we know that there is no known statistical difference in the health status of persons with amalgam fillings compared to those with no fillings in their teeth!
Minute amounts of mercury vapor (between 1-3 micrograms* per day) may be released from amalgam under the pressure of chewing or grinding, but there is no scientific evidence that such low-level exposure is harmful. In fact, dental materials experts say one would have to have almost 500 amalgam fillings to even see the subtlest symptoms in the most sensitive person.
Silver amalgam is still the most popular tooth filling material in the world. I have to agree with your dentist on this.

Confer with another dentist. Go to a university dental school and get a referral. You always have the right of a second or third opinion.
