Amalgaam, dat door tandartsen als vulling in tanden en kiezen werd gebruikt, is een bron van kwik. Kwik is zeer giftig en metingen tonen aan dat geringe concentraties kwikdamp uit vullingen kunnen vrijkomen. Meestal zijn er geen aantoonbare acute gezondheidsklachten na een amalgaambehandeling, hoewel op de lange termijn wél gezondheidsklachten kunnen optreden. Schadelijke gezondheidseffecten worden niet door iedereen onderkend.
