My husband is a pediatric dentist. He says that most of the mercury released (which is very minimal) would be in removing them. If they are OBVIOUSLY cracked and causing problems then replace them. DH used to work as a general dentist before specializing and he says that lots of dentists are over-eager to replace fillings. (They have bills to pay). DH actually sent me to a friend of his for a checkup who is a general dentist and he wanted to replace some of mine because he said they are cracked. That was over 2 years ago and I brought my x-rays home and DH went over them with some other specialists and they all said it was totally unnecessary to replace them. So, I would say that unless they are actually causing you trouble, leave them alone.
