Amalgam Fillings and History Buffs

There are history buffs of every king these days. Those who study wars and archeology may be the most popular.  Those who study wars many times are involved in re-enactment groups or research on an individual war.  Some history buffs that just like to know information on many different topics including amalgam fillings. The reason for this may be because they have had to have several of these fillings that are made of mercury and another form of metal.  Many history buffs may be surprised to find out when the first filling in general was used in the dentistry world and that is not accurately recorded but there are records of a silver type paste being used in China to restore a tooth in 659 A.D.
