Black to white fillings?!

Answers: if you have black fillings in your teeth (molars) and you want them white can they be changed?

Yes. You actually have silver (amalgam) fillings. They can definitely be taken out and replaced with white (composite) fillings. There are many reasons to do this. First of all, the silver doesn't actually bond to your tooth, which means it can begin to "leak" around it. The silver filling doesn't move like your natural tooth. It expands and contracts differently, which can cause your tooth to crack or sometimes break. Keep in mind, this usually doesn't happen for several years. However, when it does happen, you can end up with more costly crowns. A composite filling will actually bond to the tooth and flex more naturally with the tooth, causing less damage. Talk to your dentist, though. Sometimes it is best to leave the silver filling for now, depending on how big/small it is. The more conservative you can be with your restorations, the better. You want your teeth to last a lifetime, so it's really important to talk to your dentist about all your concerns and listen to his advice.
