I am uncomfortable knowing that there is mercury in my mouth.
I understand that the forces of chewing cause minute amounts of 
mercury vapor to be released from my silver amalgam fillings.
I know that there are arguments that the amount released is trivial 
compared to what I get from a tuna-fish sandwich,
but I wouldn't be surprised if there were dramatic differences between
eating it and breathing it, as well as other chemical matters.

I would be interested in information and opinions on this issue.
What it boils down to is a decision on whether or not to have my
amalgam fillings replaced. (This, of course, leads to other questions
about other materials, and their plusses and minuses.)

Comments, please.
