in line 35 the poet has misspelt the word ''amalgum'' . why do you think she has done that?

This is not deliberately misspelt, but a printing error. The word appears as 'amalgam' in the poem on the official website of Pam Ayres, the poet.

 The poet has knowingly misspelt the word amalgam as amalgum. Children are usually very fond of a candy known as chewing gum. Even while having the cavities in her teeth filled with amalgam, the poet thinks of her favorite  chewing gum and so she misspells the word. This misspelling is deliberate and is done to add humor.

Hope this answer helped you
