Hi Dr Moore. I hope you can help me. I have previously had a filling to my right upper second molar some years ago. It now seems that there is a small crack on the medial aspect of that filled tooth adjacent to the filling. At the moment it doesn’t cause me any problems, pain or sensitivity, etc and has been like that for a number of months. I am due to have an appointment with my Dentist, but I am wondering which treatment I am likely to expect? Many thanks. I look forward to your reply.
Hello, my good old amalgam filling just broke off. Having background in toxicology, I am pretty concerned about this situation. Looks like I have swallowed part of it, I rinsed off the rest. There is a residue of amalgam still in my tooth. Removing it can produce further exposure to mercury. Not sure if I am ready to part with my tooth either so my question is, if it makes sense to cover that cavity with composite filling, sealing the remaining amalgam? Can that be done without cleaning/scrubbing old amalgam in the cavity? Thank you.
I’d like to get treatment for composite on/inlay? and how much cost me?
Thank you
Hi there. I’m only 18 but one of my teeth had to be refilled a number of times, and now has a temporary filling. Now however some of the healthy tooth tissue is breaking off with relative eas and there is hardly any of it left. I’m worried if I go back to my dentist that he will have to drill this out, resulting in the whole tooth falling apart. Is it possible this will happen andf if so what can I do about it?
