Dentists have been using polymer fillings more and more lately. The last two fillings I had were polymer based.
While they do not contain mercury the new fillings (and the mercury ones) are temporary solutions. It is normal for fillings to fail and re-fail, needing to be refilled. The practice of filling over and over ignores the underlying cause of the cavities, which is usually driven by diet. Check out the Weston Price Foundation if you want to know more.

Modern dentistry is a business that requires a consumer to depend upon those services. There are definitely other accessible and sustainable options to enhance dental health.
