Because for some people, the white fillings pop off their teeth like crazy.

I have never had any white filling from any dentist last more than a year. Most never make it to the six month stage. And yet, I have had amalgam fillings last for 30+ years. They just hold onto my weak-ass teeth in ways that the white fillings cannot.
