Should I floss in between two teeth with silver fillings?!


Question: I had cavities in between two teeth, so besides for drilling away the chewing surface, my dentist drilled away the sides of two teeth with touch each other, and put in silver fillings, so each tooth has one side which is really fake and just silver amalgam. Why should I floss there? Fillings don't rot! It onlyincreases the chance of breaking a filling.
