Can I have silver fillings to be replaced with composite materials in molar tooth?
Q. I thought of going to have my silver fillings to be replaced with composite materials in one of my molar tooths. But some of the current silver fillings stick to my gums, how does the dentist going to remove it? Will it cause my gums to bleed during the drilling? I am concern that the harmful silver particles will get into my gums.
A. Hi many thanks for your email, the silver fillings that are placed close to your gums will still be removed and can be replaced with the white filling material. the silver filling material will not harm your gums.
