2) They expand with hot and cold
3) They leak
4) They cause teeth to crack
5) They don't bond to teeth the way that composite fillings do.

Anyone with experience on this?
I'm getting some old amalgams replaced + some new ones in a few days...apart from my dentist recommending composite over amalgam, what hits home with me is that there is LESS DRILLING involved with composite. That's a big plus for me
