Over time, the metal in your amalgam fillings will expand and contract with changes in temperature, causing your teeth to lose up to 80% of their strength. Also, there is the danger that the mercury in your fillings can leak, causing mercury toxicity. Some people do not like amalgam fillings simply because they are aesthetically unappealing.
