Amalgam fillings, composed of a mixture of metals including silver, tin, copper, and mercury, can expand and contract with temperature changes. Over time, this natural expansion and contraction may weaken the tooth structure around the filling. Additionally, the metal components of amalgam fillings do not bond as strongly to the tooth as other modern filling materials, increasing the likelihood of fractures or cracks in the tooth over the years.
