Q. i am 42 yrs old and i have not been to a dentist since i was about 13 or 14 yrs old . i had alot of fillings done at that age and now i think they are all starting to fall out . but a few days ago i was eating something and i felt something real hard in my mouth only to discover it was a part of my tooth and some filling . when i checked in my mouth there is 2 teeth that seem like they have no back to them ,just seeing filling. please tell me that i can have something done to fix this . i know i have waited along time without getting anything done but u all know seeing the dentist can be very expensive and not all people can afford this . but right now i am hoping and praying that my teeth can be saved no matter what the price . please let me know if this is normal or is there somehting more that may be happening . its just the 2 close teeth right now but i worry that its the start to all of the fillings falling out .
A. This often happens to teeth with old large fillings, the fillings leak and corrode and decay gets underneath cusing the tppth around to weaken and break
It sounds like you will need to consider porcelain crowns or inlays to restore the teeth and to get the rest of the teeth checked out is a real priority now.
