As of July 2018, dental amalgam is prohibited for use in specific populations, such as children under 15 years of age, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers, except in cases where it is deemed strictly necessary by a dentist. Additionally, the EU encourages a gradual phase-out of amalgam use by 2030, promoting alternative materials like composite resins and glass ionomer cements. https://thebespokedentist.co.uk/near-me/amalgam-removal-european-union/
