Broken cavity filling or is this normal?!


Question: Broken cavity filling or is this normal!?
Hey when you have a cavity filling on your bottom big molars (the ones on the back) do you see creases on your fillings!? It's like a line or little lines all around the tooth or molar!. Is that normal!? It's not broken or anything is it!? How do you know when you have a broken filling!? thanks!

I have lines across the tooth but then this particular tooth I noticed that the lining of the filling was a little dark but it's like a crease!. Is that considered broken!?

I know I know I'm going to the dentist soon but I just need some personal experiences or knowledge about this from poeple who know or experienced this!. Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
it depends how old the filling is!. if it is a couple years old, it is normal!. it kind of sounds like it might be because if it is a little dark, it is because it is an old filling!. sometimes the color leaks out and with time it does turn a little darker!.
you will know if it is broken because you can see if a piece is missing, or you will feel some pain or sensitivity!.
if it is not broken and just old, i suggest that you ask your Dentist if he or she can just replace it with a new filling!. if it is not an old filling, have them double check with your insurance if you have one!. most insurances will only pay for the same filling once every 2 years!.
if that isnt the reason then more than likely you have decay in there and will either have to be cleaned out and get another filling, or get a crown if it is a big filling!.
