Is there a negative effects of drilling away the amalgam fillings?

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Q.
2-3 years ago, my last molar on the left side had a big cavity and reached the nerve. my dentist advised me to do a root canal but i decided not to and asked her to do a filling instead. i did a composite one, and another time when it wore down, and switched to amalgam the third time when it had to be replaced (just this year). now, part of my amalgam filling has chipped off. i am not sure how big the chip is in comparison to the cavity but i don’t feel any pain. i think my dentist will want to replace it again but i am concerned about the negative effects of drilling away the amalgam (it releases harmful mercury vapour). what should i do? should i still get the filling replaced? can the chipped part just be filled up with another filling?
