What are gold fillings made of and what other materials are used to make them adhere to the cavity in the toot?

I am thinking of replacing some of my amalgams with gold fillings. What in addition to gold are they composed of and what material makes them 'stick' into the dental cavity as a filling?

1. You absolutely do NOT want to put gold in your mouth and you need to get rid of those Amalgam fillings. The amalgam leaks mercury vapor and damages your health. If you do NOT believe this, look at this video and then when your dentist or someone ignorant of this issue tells you they are perfectly safe, you will know what to tell them: http://www.milldental.com/millennium/webvideo/MercuryDanger/SmokingTooth_200k.wmv Now watch this 5 minute video of how mercury destroys brain tissue. This study was done by a very credible school and verified by the University of Tennessee. http://movies.commons.ucalgary.ca/mercury/ The amount of mercury used in this study was 100 to 1,000 times less than what you get when you brush one tooth over amalgam! If you put gold in your mouth, the mercury leaves at a rate 80 times faster due to the electrolysis created. NOT A GOOD IDEA. In fact, you need to see a GOOD dentist that will remove the amalgams safely that understands the problems with removing them and your health. ALL amalgam fillings have infection under them, ALL OF THEM. Insist that your dentist follow the correct procedure for removal and then replace them with bondable CERAMIC that has a hardness of 300, the same as your original teeth. good luck to you
