After the procedure, maintaining oral hygiene and following the dentist\u2019s recommendations is important.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Alternar tabla de contenidos\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/es\/como-se-retira-un-empaste-de-amalgama\/#Can_Amalgam_Fillings_Be_Removed\" >Can Amalgam Fillings Be Removed?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/es\/como-se-retira-un-empaste-de-amalgama\/#Why_Are_Amalgam_Fillings_Removed\" >Why Are Amalgam Fillings Removed?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/es\/como-se-retira-un-empaste-de-amalgama\/#What_Happens_When_Amalgam_Fillings_Are_Removed\" >What Happens When Amalgam Fillings Are Removed?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/es\/como-se-retira-un-empaste-de-amalgama\/#Thinking_About_Removing_Your_Amalgam_Fillings\" >Thinking About Removing Your Amalgam Fillings?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/es\/como-se-retira-un-empaste-de-amalgama\/#Risks_of_Amalgam_Filling_Removal\" >Risks of Amalgam Filling Removal<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/es\/como-se-retira-un-empaste-de-amalgama\/#How_Is_Amalgam_Filling_Removal_Done\" >How Is Amalgam Filling Removal Done?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/es\/como-se-retira-un-empaste-de-amalgama\/#Aftercare_Following_Amalgam_Filling_Removal\" >Aftercare Following Amalgam Filling Removal<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/es\/como-se-retira-un-empaste-de-amalgama\/#FAQ_About_Amalgam_Filling_Removal\" >FAQ About Amalgam Filling Removal<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Amalgam_Fillings_Be_Removed\"><\/span>Can Amalgam Fillings Be Removed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Amalgam fillings can be safely removed using special techniques because they may wear down, crack, or cause aesthetic concerns over time.
