Are silver fillings harmful to my health?

[Nasim]

Hi

I suffer from migraines that keep repeating every few days and I have tried all sorts of medications which don't seem to be able to stop my migraine headaches. I read on the internet that the mercury silver fillings could be causing these migraine headaches. I have a lot of silver fillings that have been placed in my mouth over the last 10 years or so. Do you think there is a link between my silver fillings and my migraines and do you advise that my silver fillings should be replaced?

As far as I am aware there are no proven links between amalgam fillings and migraines and so I am afraid I don't think changing your amalgam fillings to white fillings is going to stop your migraines.
