Does anyone know if the link between teeth fillings and mental health is valid?

I have a mouth full of metal and go in tomorrow for yet another filling. I’ve been having really bad anxiety issues lately and wonder if I’m just adding to it by getting more fillings.

I mean I don’t have a choice bc my bad eating habits and dental habits got me here but idk I’m just wondering if anyone has looked into this further bc at one point I was so worried about the possible side effects of filling (like hormones) that I was looking into getting them removed.

Am I worrying over nothing? Do they use copper for fillings?

I know some women get the copper iud and have to take it out bc the copper messes with them

I don't think they use amalgam anymore unless they have to I'm a DA and iv never done one, iv only ever assisted with composite and Fuji materials, iv never heard of link you are referring to, you'll be fine.

They don’t use metal now.
