Many people think mercury fillings are a thing of the past. But in the U.S., they’re still used in dental care for low-income families, Native Americans, military members, and institutionalized individuals — groups that often don’t have a choice. Despite major dental groups quietly backing away from amalgam, the system still favors mercury for the poor and mercury-free alternatives for those who can afford them.

Advocates like Consumers for Dental Choice have made huge strides in shifting global policy. Amalgam is now banned in Europe and parts of Asia and Africa, and both the FDA and WHO have reversed their positions. Yet, the U.S. government remains the largest buyer of mercury fillings. The upcoming 2025 Minamata Convention may finally turn this global phase-out goal into a legal mandate.
