My white composite filling is ruff and is concave in shape

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
I recently had an old amalgam filling removed by an NHS dentist and replaced with a glass resin composite filling and topped at the end with a white one because it was so large. I ended up having to pay for this privately as the NHS don’t do white fillings. My only problem with it now is that it feels rough and rather than it being shaped to look like the contours of a molar, my dentist left a concave shape in the middle of it. Is this normal? As far as I was aware white composite fillings are supposed to be time consuming, but somehow my dentist did three of these in 40 minutes.

My latest (NHS) dentist says a crown can’t be fitted because the tooth is filled too low below the gum line

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Q.
Had a cracked tooth deep filled and was told if this failed I could have a crown fitted. The tooth is now causing problems, but my latest (NHS) dentist says a crown can’t be fitted because the tooth is filled too low below the gum line. Is this likely to be correct – I’m worried that financial considerations within the practice may be limiting the options they offer.

A.

The filling on my sons chipped tooth does not last for more than a year

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
My 17 year old son chipped his front tooth – not a large chip but it’s jagged and it bothers me. I had a dentist ‘fill’ the chip for $240. It lasted about a year and fell off. I had it repaired again, another $240 and it fell off, this time only after 2 months. I have two neices that have had chips bonded on their front teeth, they have lasted years each. Of course I’m going back to their dentist next time. Would I be out of line insisting that this last filling be repaired for free?

A.
No, I would personnally repair… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Q.
My 9 year old lad has chipped his front tooth after hitting a wall. He jhas lost about 25% of the tooth and is in no real pain. He does however find it sharp when inhaling through his mouth and painful when cold fluid hits it. What is the best course of action to take? It is his 2nd tooth so no more to come through. As his father, I am quite anxious. Regards
