Can a paint be used to improve colour of silver fillings?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q.
I have a lot of silver fillings and have been advised that replacing these with white fillings would not be the way forward as these are not as strong. The reason I would prefer white is purely for the cosmetic appearance. My question is – Is there a paint that is suitable that will cover the silver fillings to give the white finish and if so who would I approach ?,
A.
No you can’t paint the filling… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

How long would it take my teeth to grow down after having my white fillings

Friday, December 18th, 2009
Q.
Hi Julian, I have a couple of points that I need some help on. 1) One of my bottom inscisors has grown inwards and has little room. My dentist has recommended removing it – however I am concerned about the symmetry in my lower mouth and fear losing a biting tooth. What are you views on this? 2) I have ground my teeth down over a number of years – about 3-4mm according to my dentist. He has recommended building them up with white filling and then letting my back teeth grow down over time? I’m a little concerned about the strength of this method and how long it would take for my teeth to grow down following this. I am a 37 male if this helps. Any thoughts are much appreciated. Rgds

My filling is fracturing and tastes weird is it harmless?

Monday, December 7th, 2009
Q.
Hi there, Im 27 and having a nightmare with my teeth, I havnt been to the dentist in over 3 years because my husbands salary went up and we are no longer entitled to it free. Anyway, my top middle tooth had previously had a black filling in, and the other day while I was eating a crunchy pizza, I heard a crack and half the filling fell out, the tooth is wobbly at the back half and Im really sore. Every time I swallow, I taste a chemical taste and worried about mercury poisoning (if not, what is the taste?) I have to find a dentist on Monday, and wont even have the time off to get it fixed until next Friday, whats the best thing to do until then, is the chemical taste harmless? half the filling is still there. Thank you This is horrible

My new silver fillings tastes metalic should I be worried?

Friday, December 4th, 2009
Q.
Dear Rob, I have just had a silver filling frmo my local NHS dentist. In fact I’ve had three – I knew about two but it looks to me like I have had a third added onto one of my other teeth. The third filling tastes slightly metalic as I run my tongue over it. My dentist had to reshape the filling in the next tooth – otherwise nothing else of note happened. Do I need to get the metalic taste checked out? Many thanks!!!

It should resolve within a few… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
