vichen,
Unfortunately, there is no non toxic material for dental fillings. Every material used is a mixture of chemicals or metals. Even gold fillings and gold crowns are mixed with other metals because gold is too soft to work with so it needs harder metals to form it into something.
Indirect composites, these are fillings made in a dental lab similar to the way crowns are made. They require 2 visits and are more costly than routine composite fillings. Indirect composites tend to be less toxic compared to direct composites which are those fillings that are made from a prefabricated material and take one visit to complete.
As I've mentioned earlier, each individual has their own unique biochemical reaction. So what one person reacts negatively to, another person may not react at all. So what I would favor for myself is something that I am personally bio compatible to.

It just like everything is toxic on some level. Dear Bryanna, if you were me, would you choose composite over gold fillings, or not.
I'm really confused, don't know which one is more healthy
