Amalgum and Dental Crown concerns?

I have 6 cavities that need to be filled. The tooth colored ones doesn't cover by my insurance and it cost 150 per tooth which is too much, let alone 6. Is the amalgum/metal ones bad for me as a teenager? I'm also getting a dental crown 2 days later, and I'm just wondering is it bad as the root canal procedure? I really appreciate your help! Thanks!

I do not recommend amalgam fillings. they tend to make your teeth crack over time. which would lead you to need another crown. Crown preps are not bad at all. about like getting a filling done. Tooth colored fillings are the best way to go. No one but you will know they are there, and they last a lot longer.
