If you who have a Flexible Spending Account for your health insurance and are running out of time to spend your annual healthcare budget, here is something to consider. Why not replace those old black fillings now?
You are being presented with an opportunity to take care of an unhealthy condition many people simply ignore. Black or silver fillings are called amalgam fillings and contain metals that are toxic to the body. Over time, mercury from those fillings can leech into your system. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to replace amalgam fillings with white resin fillings or tooth colored inlays.
White fillings and inlays are more biocompatible and provide long-term support for a tooth. In addition, they blend in with your teeth so you do not have the look of dark fillings. Unlike amalgams which crack and weaken teeth, composite resin and porcelain reinforce the remaining tooth structure making in more resistant to fracture. This increases the likelihood that your teeth will last your whole life. Both aesthetically and from a health and wellness point off view, these more modern options are superior.
So, if you have a balance you must use in your FSA, please contact us today about getting those amalgam fillings replaced by the end of the year.
