Help with fillings problem?!?!?!?!
Question: Help with fillings problem!?!!?!!?!!?
So on the inside of the bottom tooth on my left jaw there is a filling that I've had put in that was an old one then they put a silver filling on top of that and it caused pressure on the inside one so it fell out!. Then about a month later it fell out again, in between that time anytime I would put pressure on it and eat on it, it would usually hurt a lot!. So I had it redone but the dentist daughter who took over and I think she did a better job!. But I have a similar problem on the other side which my original dentist did too!. So how do I know if they're gonna fall out!. Both times that they've fallen out right before there was no warning but I mean like days a head of time is there any symptom or sign I should look out for!? Please help! I can't go back to the dentist until December because my insurance for this year ran out! Also I always make sure to wear my bottom retainer to cover up the 2 fillings otherwise I tend to lick at them a lot and worry even more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Restorations (fillings) when prepared properly are designed to stay in the mouth for years to come!. If a restoration keeps falling out, it means that there is a problem with the preparation technique, or choice or restorative material!. I think your dentist should fix the fillings for free since she put it in not too long ago!.
You cannot predict whether a filling comes out or not!. It is not your fault, they should not come out period!. It is possible that there is not much "good tooth" material left and there is no surface which could hold the fillings!. But your dentist should know this!. Sorry it must be very frustrating!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
