I have had fillings on my teeth which are stained

Q. Dear Dr Komal, I’ve always had problems with my teeth. A few years ago I had braces on my teeth which built my confidence up for a while and i loved to smile. But since i had my filling placed on my 2nd to front tooth and the side of my front tooth started to stain as some dentists say whilst others say its a small amount of decay, i get paranoid that people are looking at it when i smile. And i myself generally dont like to smile anymore. Its practically a dot on the side of my tooth but i feel like it looks awful. I asked my dentist to fix it but he seemed to have made it worse by placing some white fluid over it which just stained and never covered the black dot aswell. I was wondering whether you could do something about it and how much the total cost would be? Thank You

 

A. It seems that the dentist placed a little bit of white filling to your tooth. The old filling needs to be a removed and a new one placed. If the black dot is due to decay then this needs to be removed and filled. If a white filling is carried out properly it shouldn’t stain so quickly unless you smoke or drink lots of tea and coffee. At my practice fillings cost between £60 and £100 for a front tooth. You are welcome to come for consultaion. The practice phone number is 01296 624163
Kind Regards
