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?

Pain post tooth filling

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
Q.
I’ve just had a filling – there was decay under an existing filling (spotted via X-Ray) and some of the original filling had to be removed to remove the decay underneath and then place new filling on top. It has been 18 hours since the filling and I am still very sore. Is this normal? It’s 4am in the morning and I cannot sleep because of the pain/soreness. I could not brush over the recently filled area before going to bed either as it felt very sore/sensitive. I have had fillings before and cannot remember the pain post-filling lasting this long. Thank you

My wife suffering with lot of pain after filling Is this normal?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009
Q.
Dr Moore, My wife attended the dentist last month for a routine check-up. The dentist told her that she needed a filling and made another appointment for her to attend for this. later on, after having the filling done, she was havig a lot of pain. She went back to the dentist and he told her that he would have to remove the nerve from this tooth. My wife was still having a lot of pain. within the last week, her mouth & face has swollen causing her extreme pain. She went back to the dentist again and he removed another nerve from a tooth at the front of her mouth. I am very concerned that my wife has been suffering with pain for several weeks now as a result of attending the dentist for a routine check-up. Is this normal?

A.
