Q.
Hi, after my childhood of abusing my teeth and now im 24 the backs end of my mouth either side are mostly full of fillings, my oral health on a whole is pretty good with flossing etc, i have had a couple of teeth break around the edges that have been filled and with dental fees so expensive im putting off getting a proper long term solution sorted. approximatley 5 teeth towards the back req some form of work, my dentist has mentioned crowns and root canals however i hear root canals are painfull?? I also seem to find my mouth is quite acidic. are there any oral issues that can cause this? What kind of things should i be searching for as i will want to get these sorted sooner rather then later. many thanks

should i be worried about the small area of filling which has been replaced by another dentist

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
Q.
Hello: I have a filling in one on my back teeth, a month ago a small part of that filling fell out as i didn’t feel pain i didn’t book an appointment with the dentists. for tree days I was in pain so I decided to see a dentists. She told me that there’s not decay or another cavity in that area, so she just replaced the small area which fell out. I’m quite concerned as I’m not sure if It had been better to have the whole filling removed, and because of that I could have something bad in my tooth. The thing is but the moment I’m living in another country I’m i’ll see my dentist in four weeks. Should I be worried? My teeth are in really good condition as I see my dentist at least twice a year. Thanks
