Does filling fall out if its not capped?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
I have had many fillings in my front teeth (6-11). Some of them came loose after a couple months. My dentist said that he would like to cap these teeth. He said that my fillings will just keep falling out. Is this true? I have become very depressed about my teeth. I want to keep my teeth for as long as possible. I am only 30. What are my options?

Can I have root filling after veneer?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a front tooth whith veneer and it started feeling a bit tender and painful for a couple of months, my dentist is suggesting a root filling but being one of my front teeth I am very worried if it tuns out okay without any visible damage afterwards. The pain is not severe and is acutally bearable but feels tender. My dentist also says it might fall out at some point which is devastating for me. Can you please advise if I should get the root filling done and if there is any way to save the tooth.

Chipped tooth has a temporary filling can I have veneers on it?

Friday, November 20th, 2009
Q.
My toddler ran at me with a heavy toy and chipped my top front tooth so it’s on the diagonal. I have had a temporary filling from an emergency NHS dentist. ( I’ve never had a filling before so know nothing about the proceedure etc. ) I saw my dentist today and he informs me that he will be able to do a new filling and make it look like a normal tooth. The rest of the tooth is fine. He said I won’t need a veneer, although could have one done later. I am worried the filling won’t be strong enough (my dentist said I would have to be careful biting into apples etc) What should I do. At the moment I’m finding the temporary filling very wierd and uncomfortable. Would a veneer be a better option or should I stick with the filling?

A.
I would try a new filling firs… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Should I consider cosmetic treatment for my endless teeth issues

Friday, November 20th, 2009
Q.
Over the last few years i have had endless fillings and 4 extractions. my dentist told me i may have rapid caries. currently 14 of my teeth are filled, with one from each side top and bottom missing, all 4 wisdom teeth are ruptured and are growing in awkward shapes and hurt the inside of my mouth and cheeks. i’m only 22 and feel my teeth are so unsightly i am ashamed to smile. i try my best to take care of them but when problems continue to arise it really knocks my confidence. i’m considering cosmetic treatment but don’t know where to start and i’m a very nervous patient so feel fear talking to dentists about procedures. i just wish i could start over with my teeth but understand thats just not possible. i am writing really just to see what treatments are available and what costs i will need to pay. thanks for taking the time to read my question and i look forward to hearing from you.

Is any other fillings better than Silver fillings?

Friday, November 20th, 2009
Q.
My back teeth and top back teeth are filled with silver fillings. My dentist wants to replace them all due to some decay. I have requested white ones or cerac, however, he suggests that they should be filled with the usual silver fillings because they are stronger and lasts longer. I have one back tooth which is broken in half. My dentist has suggested keeping this tooth and filling the other half with silver filling and not undertaking a cerac fitting. I am not whether I want to replace my silver fillings but, he says white fillings don’t last long and are prone to decay, and he went to a cerac demonstration and did not think much of it. This is a private dentist which specialises in cosmetic procedures. Should I seek a second opinion? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
