Lisa,
Dr Hale recommends 4-6 hours. We are exposed to mercury all the time with fish consumption and light bulbs.

Panicking re. Amalgam filling removal
Hi please could you advise. I’m breast feeding my son and my dentist said I needed to have a filling replaced. She removed an amalgam filling and replaced with a white one.
I asked if this was ok while breastfeeding and she said yes.
since researching I’ve discovered it’s not advised unless absolutely necessary, which it wasn’t as I was in no pain. Needless to say I’m fuming. She didn’t use a dental dam or alternative ventilation. I’ve read a few similar questions regarding safety of breast feeding after this kind of situation with differing advice. One response saying it should be fine after 4-6 hrs another saying 3-5 days. Please can I have clarification.
