Is there only one color for a filling?!


Question: Is there only one color for a filling?
Everybody I have seen that has a filling has silver on their tooth, but is silver the only color? Because I would really like a white filling. So do I have a color choice, or do I just take whatever my dentist gives me?

Answers:

When I was little, I got a couple of silver fillings. I thought the only color was silver, but now I am much older and the next time I went to the dentist they told me about how now you can choose from silver OR white filling. Of course, I chose white and you can't even tell I got a filling. =)

It does depend though on your dentist because when I went to the dentist they said it was new. When you, ask your dentist about it and if he says yes then say you want white filling.

Well, I hope I helped! Good luck! =D

Went to the dentist a week ago. =)



Yes, there is white filling! I've had five cavities when I was little, and I got silver filling. Now, I had one last year, and it was white! I think it's new. My silver fillings are in my baby teeth, so they'll fall out. Just ask for white filling, and they'll give it to you! :-)
