Q. Hello I am 22 years old. My problem is that in those 22years I have had 32 fillings. I went to the dentist today and ave been told I need another 7! I had 6 baby teeth out when I was about 6-I had 6 fillings in my baby teeth- I have had 5 different types of braces. My teeth look ok but they are like chalk! My problem is it cost so much money for these white fillings I am having but I would never have a silver one as alot of my fillings are on the fronts of my teeth- My dentist has said long term I am looking at a mouth full of crowns. My question is shall I continue to pay for these fillings or start having my teeth crowned?? I have been told I have very good gums and I have great dental hygiene. My dentist has said I have some sort of desease in my teeth were the holes grow from the inside of my teeth- I have to be x rayed every time I go to the dentist. Thank you
