My second question: I just broke a composite cap on a tooth which had been placed to reinforce an older amalgam filling already in place. It feels like the original crumbled when the cap cracked off. I generally have not been concerned about the safety of amalgam, but when the tooth broke, I got a strange metallic taste in my mouth, and an hour later came down with a fever. The fever's been for four days now, and my entire mouth has broken out in canker and cold sores. Is this some kind of allergic reaction? I plan to get it looked at, but can't get a dentist for another week. Should I be seeing one right away, or am I just getting phobic about the amalgam?
