I have a lot of amalgam fillings in my teeth but recently I've noticed that some of them seem to have turned black instead of looking silver. Why is this? And is it anything to be concerned about?
Black fillings?
Hi I am a dental nurse so may be able to help. Amalgam fillings can turn black due to a couple of reasons.
1. It could be oxidisation, just the contact of air and food can cause the amalgam to change colour. But this happening can cause a leakage around the filling.
2. Could be that it is breaking down and needs replacing
3. Could just be that it is aged and needs replacing.
4. Sometimes the powder to liquid mix can be irregular.
All though could cause further decay so it is best that you get it checked and replaced if needed because when decay occurs the fillings will conduct temperature and cause extra pain. Good luck.
Reply:do you brush, them i could be a built up off bacteria, i have had one for like 4 years and its still silver
Reply:no, I have the same problem...I think its how they mix the filling before they put it in. As long as its just the filling and not your actual tooth its normal.
Reply:yes there is a back build up on them -also its a bad build up-see your dentist-the problem is in all likelyhood in one source and is effecting the other fillings-the longer you wait the worse it will get- in time needing root canal cap and more.
I am prayin for you too in Jesus amazing grace that saved a wretch like me John 3 repented and born anew-and best to you.
Reply:I to have a few too many of the horrible fillings.
i thinks its just what they do with age.
I am thinking of asking my dentist next time i go to see her about having them taking out ant the white ones put in.
If i can afford it of course.
Reply:They turn black due to oxidisation and corrosion, it's nothing to be concerned about :)
Reply:The amalgam filling has gone black because of tarnish and corrosion.Tarnish is the surface discoloration of the amalgam filling.Corrosion,on the other hand is the surface deterioration of the metal by reaction with the oral environment(meaning saliva,food,et.al) To prevent tarnish and corrosion,what we do is to polish the amalgam filling which is done after 24 hours after filling was placed(allowing the amalgam filling to set-coz it hardens/sets after 24 hours.It sets in the mouth once placed,but this is just initial setting,that's why we advice our patients not to bite too hard on the side of the filling just yet-after 24hours than its hard already).There's nothing to worry about this,only that it has gone black,which is not nice too look at.
Reply:Mercury amalgum has been banned and discontinued in some countries because of health concerns-I would contact a holistic dentist for an alternative point of view-that will help you come to a decision.If you decide to have metal fillings replaced with safer ones,see a dentist who is experienced in
removing amalgum safely.
Reply:My 2 back fillings were chipping and they were black too. I just got them done again when I went to the dentist... good and new!
Reply:Old fillings look blacker than the more recent amalgam ones. I think it has something to do with the reaction to the acid in your food and saliva.
Reply:This is due to surface corrosion and, though unsightly, does not, in itself, indicate a problem with the material. Get the dentist's advice at your next check-up. It's nothing to be concerned about.
This mercury in amalgam thing is a real hoot. The only time you will encounter free mercury from amalgam is if it is heated to a high temperature. When a filling is removed a water spray cools the material. No problem. Why do dentists not get mercury poisoning?
Actually, it's a shame amalgam is so safe otherwise I would be a millionaire many times over replacing amalgam with something else (composite, gold, whatever).
Beware 'white' fillings. Their life expectancy is a third of amalgam and they give off a vapour similar to oestrogen (in insignificant quantities). When they fail they tend to do so pretty quickly and a lot of decay can develop under the material before the dentist gets a chance to spot it.
Better still, avoid sugar and don't have fillings.
Keep smiling.

Do fillings hurt?
I might need to get fillings and i was wondering if it hurts to get them. I am a chicken when it comes to dentist. I also heard you can't chew food on a filling.
Do fillings hurt?
Not today, if the dentist is competent at all.
Reply:a little, a good dentist keeps the pain to a minimum.
Reply:yes they do hurt a lot
Reply:not that much as in the movie snow dogs "more then a tickle but less then paying your taxes"
Reply:No it does not hurt. It is a little sensitve afterwards to hot and cold. You can feel pressure when they are drilling. The noise also bugs me alot.
Reply:The shot is the only thing that hurts, but not bad.. I eat whatever I want to with my fillings in and have never had one fall out.
Reply:Go to a good dentist. Make sure it is a user friendly one where you can explain that you are very nervous and want to have gas as an option. The fillings don't hurt really at all. You can either have Novocaine or gas. Either way, it sounds a little weird but you will not feel any pain. And as long as you are not cracking nuts on them, you will be fine to chew.
Reply:I have been in this field since i was a child. It doesnt hurt much unless u do root canaling (i.e. the three nerve roots are to be pulled out) and root canaling hurts badly. Otherwise normal fillign doesnot hurt.
Reply:Tell them you're a chicken ;) they'll give you nitrous to help you relax. You shouldn't feel pain. The worse part is listening to the sound of the drill and the smell...ugh...you'll be fine!
Reply:It is not near as bad as you might think. You will definitly get something to keep you from feeling it. As for the not chewing that is not true. If you are real nervous you can request to be gassed, (a personal favorite!!), it will be more expensive, but you can sleep through the wole thing.
Reply:I've got plenty of fillings, and have never had problems. Its a little sore after first getting them, but that gone after a day or so. I wouldn't worry about it.
Reply:well the tooth will ache for a day or two.. tylenol/panadol can help with that pain.. the dentist does have to manipulate the tooth a bit by drilling out the last bit of decay in the cavity, so yes there will be hold over pain, but its no big deal.. it will go away in a couple of days. and yes it might be sensative to chew the next day on that tooth, but there again, after a couple a days, your tooth will be as good as new and you can chew away..
Reply:The only thing about that is the shot that deadens your gum in the location of the tooth they will work on. I always ask for the gas-mask when I get there. They put me on that and virtually every tooth in my head could be pulled out and I wouldn't care....LOL
Reply:My dentist was useless and my fillings hurt. Hopefully your dentist is better.
Reply:well mine didnt. however, my mums moved and she was is in pain all day long. it depends on what type you get, now puts them in and how you maintain them. dont eat tough food to often and make sure to ask your dentist how to take care of them.
Reply:No. They freeze your mouth. Everything numb. Just feel a little pressure. I chew on my fillings. They been in for years.
Reply:well i just got about 6 fillings in my mouth the other day and yeah it will hurt for a couple of days not bad but its not comfortable while its happening you don't feel it they numb you up good but its nothing to be worried about. and u can chew on a filling just wait a few days to do it and don't drink until the the filling is dry and anything to the extreme hot or cold will hurt like heck kay thats about all you need to know
Reply:It shouldn't hurt except briefly when they put the needle in to numb your mouth. After the novacaine wears off, it may ache a little and they will probably recommend Advil or Tylenol. I got a filling and had to wait a certain amount of time before chewing on that side...but afterwards it was back to normal! I've always been a big chicken when it comes to dentists, too! GL
Reply:The only painful part of a filling is the little prick from the needle used to freeze your gums (very small ouch). Most dentist rub some numbing cream on the gum first and you hardly feel it. I've never had any pain at all after a filling (and I have had many) and depending on the type of filling you can chew on the filling right away. Some types you need to wait a day or two until you can. After that it is just like a regular tooth.
Reply:No they don't hurt. The needle to numb your gums has a little pinch feeling to it. The drilling is loud, and it's uncomfortable, but it's doesn't hurt . There is a little pain after the Novocain wares off, but your Dentist should give you some co-Tylenol for it . You can chew anything on your filling. Just try to avoid foil..lol Seriously, if foil touches your filling it is painful . Also your filling will be really sensitive to ice . I have Dental-phobia too ,but these are the only teeth we'll ever have . I guess we have to do what we have to do ....
oh, and also deep cleaning is painless, and after the Novocain wares off, there is no pain whatsoever ..
Reply:Zip up your skirt and get your teeth repaired! If you are worried about a filling hurting and procrastinate about getting that done, wait until the decay progresses to the nerve of your tooth and you need a root canal. An infected tooth is the kind of pain that will bring you to your knees!

Cavities/Fillings/Anesthetic?
I have two fillings coming up, and of course an anesthetic will be used on my upper and lower teeth. My question is will it numb my lips as well? I am getting a piercing the same day on my lip and I am wondering whether it will help to numb the lip area as well.
Cavities/Fillings/Anesthetic?
The freezing will numb your lips, but there is no possible way you can get from your dentist's office to your piercing place before the freezing will start to come out. If anythng, your lips will be more sensitive than they normally would have been before the freezing. Try to wait until the freezing is completely out and then just take Advil before going for your piercing.
Reply:Your lips will be partially numb, yes.
However, please do not get your lip piercing! Piercings like that literally distroy your teeth by slowly chipping away at your enamel, or even cracking your teeth as well. Please, don't do it, unless you want dentures in a few years.
Reply:no, they only numb your cheeks
Reply:Do not wear a piercing to the dental office. If they need to take any xrays they will make you take it out before they can take xrays.
Also piercings on your lip is bad for your teeth and gums. When it rubs against your gums it causes your gums to receed (move downwards) which is bad. And gums dont grow back.

What fillings can I have in a Jactet Potatoe?
I'm going through a phase of only having jacket potatoes for my tea. I'm not really adventurous and only have either prawns or beans and cheese. It will get boring soon, so does anyone have any good ideas for different fillings?
What fillings can I have in a Jactet Potatoe?
Mmmmmmm! You've put me in the mood for one.
How about these fillings:
Salmon and cream cheese
Salsa
Sautéed mushrooms
Caviar - if you're feeling posh!
Chilli, grated cheese, and a bit of chopped onion
Pizza sauce and grated mozzarella
Plain yogurt, coriander, and cucumber or red onion
Cheese and beans - for old times sake!
Curry
Stilton or grated mature Cheddar
Spicy chicken and pineapple
Cheddar and beans
Cheese and tomato
Cold cottage cheese with onion and chives
Corned beef and horseradish
Beef and mustard
Scrambled egg, tomato, and green pepper
Cheese-grated and mixed with mayonnaise and spring onion
Prawn mayonnaise - instead of just prawns?
Slices of smoked sausage
Brie and grapes
Chilli con carne
Tuna and sweetcorn mayonnaise
Edam and apple
Enjoy!
;-)

Cavity fillings?
after i had my fillings for cavities (i had 4), my 4 teeth started to feel very sensitive, and painful everytime when i drink or eat something cold. its been 3 weeks now but its still not healing.
i went back to the dentist to let them handle it again, and they said wait one week, but its been 2 weeks and its still hurting. the dentist says that their gonna take something out of my teeth (think its the nerve or something so the teeth will die) so it won't hurt anymore. is this okay?
one thing is, i never had cavities for the last 4 years, and this dentist guy fills in 4 perfectly good teeths of mines saying i had a cavity without showing it to me or my parents. the guy that did this was new or something. i couldn't go to my old one because of some insurance thing.
Cavity fillings?
I understand 100 %
I went to another dentist closer to home who came with good recommendations and was cheap
I too had a tooth filled
when the numbness wore off?
I was in excruciating pain
went back to the dentist.. he says "nothing wrong, it takes time"
as I eat 2 Aspirins every 4-6 hours
Its now 5 months later and the tooth is still very sensitive to heat, cold, and sugar
got another opinion today.. I now need a root canal on the previously no nerve problem tooth
I am very angry with the dentist and myself for going with the cheaper , closer to home one
Reply:The dentist cannot fill in 4 perfectly good teeth. If you had 4 cavities they may have been small enough that you didn't notice them. If he took x-rays then have your parents ask to see the x-rays so they can point on the cavities that he found. Your best bet is to try using Sensydyne toothpaste and maybe get a second opinion.
Reply:If you had silver fillings (called amalgam fillings), you need to have them changed. These fillings are not being accepted in many countries around the world now because they contain mercury as part of the mixture. About 50% of the material is mercury. Dentists are hiding behind the American Dental Association that has said these are safe, but in reality, the mercury leaves the fillings by way of mercury vapor that goes to your liver and is converted to mercuric ions. These ions go to the brain and destroy the tubulon sheathing surrounding the nerves. It takes about 10 years for 50% of the mercury to end up there.
The Faculty of Medicine Dept. of Physiology %26amp; Biophysics at the University of Calgary in Canada has a video you can view on line that lasts about 5 minutes that shows what happens to your brain cells from this garbage. The amount of mercury that was used in this experiment was about 100 - 1,000 times less that what you get when you brush your teeth or drink something hot from your amalgam fillings in your mouth!
When you get a tooth filled with this garbage, it traumatizes the nerves and can create a place where Biofilms can reside that will cause you many health problems in the future. As helpful as dentistry can be, it is amazing how many health problems can come from poor work. There are a lot of "C" dental students out there. I know, I've experienced many of them and it is no picnic to get the work all fixed properly.
My advice is to go to another dentist and then another one until you find a good one. One good way to determine the best dentist is to ask questions regarding the amalgam fillings. If they use them and see no problem, I would not go to them for anything.
good luck
Reply:i would go to a new dentist
and i know that if you kill the nerve your tooth will turn grey and die
he will eventually have to pull it when it dies
my older brother is a dentist and he said that that was not normal

When you get a tooth filled with this garbage, it traumatizes the nerves and can create a place where Biofilms can reside that will cause you many health problems in the future. As helpful as dentistry can be, it is amazing how many health problems can come from poor work. There are a lot of "C" dental students out there. I know, I've experienced many of them and it is no picnic to get the work all fixed properly.
My advice is to go to another dentist and then another one until you find a good one. One good way to determine the best dentist is to ask questions regarding the amalgam fillings. If they use them and see no problem, I would not go to them for anything.
good luck
Reply:i would go to a new dentist
and i know that if you kill the nerve your tooth will turn grey and die
he will eventually have to pull it when it dies
my older brother is a dentist and he said that that was not normal

Getting fillings and scared . HELP !?
Im getting fillings on tuesday , and im terrified ! I just dont like people in my mouth, and im soo scared that it will hurt . What do they do and does it hurt alot? I HATE GETTING SHOTS . oh and also theyre doing sealence. what is that and how do they do it?
Getting fillings and scared . HELP !?
Sealance's don't hurt. They put this stuff in your mouth that's really sour, but that's all.
Why don't you ask them to give you the gas? Tell them how nervous you are about people in your mouth.
Reply:I have had probably 20 of them and they don't hurt. Its actually much less painful than getting a shot at the doctors because they numb you first. First they numb your mouth with some novacaine, then they give you a shot where they rubbed the novacaine. It doesn't hurt because they numb your mouth with a topical novacaine where they are going to give you the shot. You are numb for the rest so it is painless.
Reply:Oh, there's nothing to it at all. They give you shots and then you don't feel a thing. %26amp; then if you feel anything just say so %26amp; they'll give you another one. I've had nine fillings so I know. %26amp; Like the other girl said, ask for gas. The gas works wonders because you think everything took place in like 15 minutes when in reality is you've been there for hours.
Reply:Take it easy. Dentistry doesn't hurt nowadays, and most dentists are very understanding about nervous patients. They'll probably give you some novocaine and you basically won't feel anything. You really need to calm down and think about this: people go to the dentist and get fillings every day, and nobody dies from it. Most people have only the most minor discomfort, if any. You are no different from anyone else, and you're not going to die from it either. Get a grip. Face your fears. You will find that it isn't nearly as bad as you imagine. Over the course of my lifetime I've had dozens of fillings, a crown, a couple of root canals...as a kid I had to wear braces for years (and that was painful at times) but I haven't had much pain from regular dentistry. You'll be fine.

Seafood canneloni is great: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/v...
Here's a recipe for one filled with ground meats. You could take a shortcut by using jarred tomato sauce. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/...

Reply:Pumpkin and Ricotta, Mushroom and Ricotta, Ricotta and Spinach, Three cheese, beef, veal, lamb, ANYTHING! Don't do sweet, stick with savory or do a sweet/savory like Ricotta with pumpkin.
Reply:you could do a fish one. make a white sauce and add flaked pieces of fish. also salmon and brocoli/ spinach is good.
Reply:Cream cheese with Chicken.

Reply:baked cannelloni
Serves 4
Ingredients
8 fresh lasagne sheets (weighing about 6 oz/175 g)
5 oz (150 g) Mozzarella, diced
1½ oz (40 g) finely grated Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano), plus a little extra to serve
For the filling:
8 oz (225 g) minced pork
1 dessertspoon chopped sage leaves
3½ oz (95 g) mortadella or unsmoked bacon
2 level tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
3 oz (75 g) white bread without crusts, soaked in 2 tablespoons milk
1 large egg
a little nutmeg
salt and freshly milled black pepper
For the béchamel sauce:
1 pint (570 ml) milk
2 oz (50 g) butter
1¼ oz (35 g) plain flour
1 bay leaf
good grating of whole nutmeg
2½ fl oz (65 ml) double cream
salt and freshly milled black pepper
You will also need a baking dish with a base measurement of 7 x 9 inches (18 x 23 cm), 2 inches (5 cm) deep, buttered.
First make the filling by placing all the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and blending everything on a low speed until thoroughly combined. If you don't have a processor, chop everything as finely as possible with a sharp knife and blend it with a fork. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Next make the sauce by placing the milk, butter, flour, bay leaf, nutmeg and seasonings into a medium-sized saucepan over a medium heat, then, whisking all the time, slowly bring it up to simmering point until the sauce has thickened. Then turn the heat down to its lowest setting and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove the bay leaf, stir in the cream, taste to check the seasoning, cover and leave aside.
Now pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C), then cut the lasagne sheets in half so that you have 16 pieces. Next divide the meat mixture in half and then each half into 8, then lightly roll each of these into a sausage shape about 3 inches (7.5 cm) long. Place each one on to a piece of lasagne and roll it up, starting from one of the shorter edges. As you do this, arrange them in the baking dish with the join underneath – what you should have is two rows neatly fitting together lengthways in the dish. Now pour the sauce over and scatter the Mozzarella cubes here and there. Finally, scatter the Parmesan over the top and place the dish on the centre shelf of the oven to bake for 40 minutes, by which time it should be golden brown and bubbling. Then remove it from the oven and let it settle for about 10 minutes before serving. Finally, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan over.

White fillings on the NHS?
How much they cost if they are already fillings in place
cause ive got a few grey 1's and i want white 1's
im still in full time education well leaving soon
but could u please help
cheers
White fillings on the NHS?
I just had a white filling on NHS which cost me £70, but as your in full time education you shouldnt have to pay for your treatment.
Reply:Im not sure about this one, i had grey ones that fell out so they were replaced with white ones, i suppose it depends on your dentist.
Reply:It isn't usual practise to place white fillings at the back of the mouth. They are made of glass composite and are suited to drier conditions at the front of the mouth. They are also not durable enough to cope with the crushing of food.
For a healthy mouth the amalgam metal fillings do make long lasting fillings that do not leak as much as white ones. I would recommend leaving them unless you want to pay for new white fillings every 5 years.

Should fillings change how sensitive my teeth are?
I have never had sensitive teeth. Cold foods don't bother me. I got some cavities filled this morning and it just seemed to change my teeth. I can't really feel from the teeth that were filled. I know one of the teeth had two fillings. Is it normal for me not to be able to feel from these teeth? Will I get the feeling back or will I just not notice anymore?
Serious answers please!
Should fillings change how sensitive my teeth are?
You should just wait another day. Usually for me, the day after I get a filling, my teeth are sensitive, so I think you should just wait it out. Good Luck!
Reply:I have had a lot of fillings.Give them a couple of days and they will feel normal again. But they may stay sensitive to cold and hot foods.
Reply:when u first get ur teeth filled u feel that way it is totally and completely normal, and see when ur teeth get filled recently u start to feel the hot and cold foods or drinks on them but the level of pain depends on the person, i had fillings 5 years ago and i still feel some pain from cold of hot foods or drinks, theyre not so noticable though, but hopefully u wont have to deal with that,
; )
Reply:It can change you sensitive you are. If the filling is stuck in close to the nerve, ti will be a lot more sensitive. Feeling should return in a day or 2.
Reply:Please use the "Add Details" feature and explain whether you mean that you just feel weird in that tooth or whether the whole area is still numb as if you just had the shot.

Can fillings be whitened?
A few years ago I chipped both of my front teeth a little and am to young to get crowns so the dentist put some kind of temporary cement filling in until i am 18. If i choose to whiten my teeth will the fillings change color with them?
Can fillings be whitened?
Yes they can be. and the colors should stay proportionally the same.
Reply:if they are white
Reply:No it will not.the filling will stay the same in color.
Reply:why not give your dentist a call and ask?
My thought is that if they are white, they will bleach along with your teeth, but you don't want to mess with the adhesive - you should ask your dentist anyway if your whitening agent will affect the strength of the bonding agent he used.
Reply:no it is impossible to whiten fillings, crowns and veneers ect..
if you decide to have the teeth whitened u will have to have all existing filling replaced afterwards....
so think about this before having them whitened as this will add to the cost
good luck

Return skillet to heat; brown on 1 side only. Invert pan over paper towels; remove crepe from pan. Repeat with remaining batter, making 12 crepes total.
3. Fold the crepes in half, browned side out. Fold in half again, forming a triangle. Place 2 crepes on each of 6 dessert plates. (To make crepes ahead, layer cooled crepes with sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container; freeze up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature for 1 hour before using.)

In lieu of metallic amalgam fillings which contain mercury, dentists can fill cavaties with a dental composite which is a mixture of organic molecules,silicon and barium oxides, ytterbium trifluoride and a number of minor components. this mixture is applied to the tooth as paste but it quickly hardens as the desntist shines a bright light upon it. Is the hardening of the composite an example of a physical or chemical change? explain

The reaction takes places via free radical polymerization:
Monomers+initiator+accelerator=polymer molecules.
There are also fluoride-releasing restorative materials. One of these is called resin-modified glass ionomers---aluminosilicate glass powder and liquid with water soloution of coploymers and water soluble monomers.
A type of restoration that is gaining popularity in the dental office is actually compomers--a hybrid of resin-modified glass ionomer and composite.
This is an example of a chemical change:
it involves an acid-base reaction of polyacid and ions released from aluminosilicate glass particles.
1-Calcium, aluminum, fluoride, and other ions released by outside of powder particle dissolving in acidic liquid
2-Calcium ions initially cross-link acid-functional coploymer molecules
3Calcium cross-links are replaced by aluminum ion cross-links
Hope this helps

Gold Fillings/Crowns?
Which of the two lasts longer when having a filling?
The traditional black one? Or is gold (although more expensive) longer lasting.
Is it cheaper in the long run to have gold fillings/crown?
Answers appreciated.
Gold Fillings/Crowns?
The amalgam (silver) fillings will last alot longer than the composite (white) fillings. As far as crowns go the gold crown is the strongest and the most expensive. So if you are thinking about having a filling done and it is on a molar or premolar then you should go with an amalgam filling. If you think that the filling is going to be really big and you are going to end up needing a crown on the tooth in the future then you should go ahead with the crown but I personally would not have a gold crown done. I would go with the Porcelain Fused Metal (PFM) crown because it is the same color as your teeth so no one would even know that it is a crown. They look better because they are more natural looking. These crowns are pretty strong too. If you do not grind your teeth really bad at night then the PFM crown will be just as effective as the gold crown. Good luck with whatever you choose to have done.
Reply:I have found, myself, that amalgam fillings last alot longer in the back teeth (like cuspids) and composite (white fillings) are great for the front teeth (as the white fillings are much preferred by dental patients) as so no one can see an amalgam filling when someone smiles. The composite fillings can be a little more expensive than amalgam ones, but are worth while for front teeth. A crown is far more expensive than just having fillings. It is best to discuss these options with your family dentist and discuss composite fillings for front teeth and amalgam for your back teeth. Alot of people don't like amalgam (for many different reasons) the main one being that they can look terrible to the naked eye when someone smiles and other reasons, including medical, which are best being discussed with either your dentist or GP. Composite fillings (white fillings) can be colour coded to suit the colour of your own teeth. Depending on your lifestyle, a composite filling can last a long time as can an amalgam filling, but not forgetting that fillings can come out and have to be replaced. If you seek a long term fix, I personally would go for a crown, where a crown can come out after sometime, but can always be put back in, if you have kept it, the dentist can reinsert the crown with dental cement. If the crown has become damaged (due to lifestyle) you would require to have another mould of your teeth to create another crown, (usually an extra cost can be involved, but best to discuss the cost with your dentist). If a filling has come out, there is usually a charge to have another one put in. Discuss this with your dentist also. Every dentist have their own costs for things, so if unsure, you should probably get a few opinions from your local dentists in regards to costs. Gold fillings are also expensive, but not necessarily the better option at times, depends on what your tooth/teeth needs. Hope this helps.
Reply:OK, so here's the deal in a nutshell. Gold is the standard by which ALL fillings are measured. They are the best but also the most costly. Silver amalgam usually is sufficient on back teeth unless the filling is large and then gold works better. However, you can have gold anyplace you want it.

Should I be concerned about silver fillings?
I've had my new silver fillings for less than a month. Since that time, I have suffered from migraines and am very fatigue. I don't know if I can attribute it to the silver fillings or not. Can I have the silver fillings removed safely or would adding white filling protect me? I'm going to ask my dentist, but I would appreciate hearing from those who have experience in this subject.
Should I be concerned about silver fillings?
In the dental community a variety of opinions exist on the use of amalgam "silver" fillings. When mercury is mixed together with other metals to form a filling in your mouth, it is in stable form. However, in certain situations (i.e. extended grinding or when it's temperature is raised), trace amounts of mercury vapor will be released. Scientifically, it is still up for debate.
Other factors should be considered when deciding if your new fillings are causing your migraines and fatigue. It is possible that your fillings are causing your bite to be off. Are you having any jaw pain that could trigger your migraines? Is there any other changes (diet, health, environment, etc.) that could be causing your ailments?
If you'd feel more comfortable talk with your dentist about having the silver fillings removed. For safety reasons, have him/her use a rubber dam during the procedure. (Going back to the first paragraph - the filling is "heated" by the handpiece "drill".) Also remember that you may experience sensitivity with the composite (tooth colored) fillings. It also may be necessary to have a lab fabricated onlay (or inlay) depending on the size of the restoration.
I've attached an article from the ada. If you want even more information search "amalgam" on www.ada.org
Hope this is informative!
Reply:It's not the silver, but the mercury in the amalgam. Let them be taken off and substituted by white (best = ceramic) fillings.
Reply:why did you get silver fillings. that does not make sense! silver is a poison and can affect your whole body. dont listen to what your dentist says. they dont know much anyhow!

When you get fillings done how often do you have to go after that visit for more fillings?
I had two done and i need 6 more (molars) when you get fillings done do you have to keep going for new ones? or should you just get a root canal to get it over with. When you get a root canal is that it you wont need anymore work on that tooth for the rest of your life? I have a filling on 2 of my front teeth they seem to fade after a while any suggestions?
When you get fillings done how often do you have to go after that visit for more fillings?
Well its just matters i had some three composite fillings done when i was twelve and i am now 21 and i never had to get them redone at all but if you get an amalgam filling then those are only temp.so they will have to keep redoing them and if you have to get an composite redone than maybe you should find a better dentist.And a root canal is just a pretty word for killing your tooth all a root canal is that the dentist goes in and kills all the nerves in you pulp chamber so you don't feel anything in that tooth again.
Reply:You will have to go as long as your teath are bad i have not gone sence i was 6
Reply:You should have no more than 2 fillings on any tooth. Then after yes a root canal should be done. And the only way a root canal would need more work after is if your crown cracked or became loose.
Reply:Sometimes fillings do need to be touched up, but doesn't always mean they need root canals. And no, just because you get a root canal done, doesn't mean that it won't need other work on it ever. Crowns need to be done on teeth that have had root canals and they need to be replaced every now and then too.

What kind of fillings does Aspen Dental use?
I suspect I may need fillings in the near future and I do not want silver amalgam, as they contain mercury. Also--do they remove amalgam fillings? I think I might have gotten those in 1992.
What kind of fillings does Aspen Dental use?
You need to discuss this with Aspen Dental. The odds of finding someone who knows the answer to this question here are similar to the odds of finding a 10th planet in our solar system.

Are metal tooth fillings ok?
I was looking at my daughters fillings and they are not porcelain like mine, do they still use metal fillings? Are they safe, like with no mercury? I would call my dentists office but he's closed on the weekend and it never occured to me that anything other than porcelain, anyone know?
Are metal tooth fillings ok?
There is a raging debate about the safety of metal fillings,some countries have banned mercury amalgum fillings
over health concerns.I myself wouldnt have one.You could go for an alternative filling,whatever that may be.
Take no notice of the thumbs down-I imagine it was given by someone acting out of self interest.If they visit the sites below they will be become educated on mercury/amalgum %26amp; its possible dangers.ONLY LET A DENTIST EXPERIENCED IN REMOVING MERCURY FILLINGS PERFORM THE PROCEDURE.Some experienced dentists who perform the procedure can be found at the sites below.These are often known as holistic dentists %26amp; there should be more,probably in your area too.
To those saying there is no evidence that mercury is unsafe,well, it is also obvious that there is no evidence that it is 100% safe.For example there are government guidelines that pregnant women shouldnt have the fillings.
Some people also say that typical health problems experienced by dentists are linked to working with mercury.
Also people can suffer allergic reactions to mercury amalgum. Therefore, wouldnt giving the benefit of the doubt to the patient be sensible and wise.
A lot of dentists seem to be phasing out mercury too.

Reply:Metal fillings are not the best, but they are cheaper. They're made of silver, nickel, and mercury. Many of us baby boomers still have silver fillings in our mouths. I personally never had any problems with them, except as they get old, they expand and can actually begin to fracture your teeth. Also, they can leak, meaning that decay can get under them. Hopefully your daughter just got them in her baby teeth. The white fillings are made of a resin type plastic. They're very hard, don't expand, but as years go by , they can wear down somewhat but they're much better, healthier, and longer lasting than silver fillings.
Reply:Amalgm fillings are used in the U,K as they are cheaper and more hard wearing than porcelian,although they are banned in many countries because of the small mecury content,so i guess it's all down to price, regardless of the price of health to the individual.

Reply:Hi the reason he used amalgam (metal fillings) is because it is the standard filling material to use if you want white fillings (composite) you will probably pay alot more for them.
The long term prognosis is better for a tooth wich has a silver filling in it, It is proven to be the best filling material.
Although there is a tiny amount of mercury in these silver fillings there has been NO proof that these harm you, if they did the NHS would not provide them to patients.
If the appearance irritates you about these filling you can have them changed to white although if they are big fillings it could affect the life span of these teeth entirely up to yourself!

Any ideas for fillings to use in the Betty Crocker Bake and Fill pan?
I'm either going to make a Lemon Cake or a Yellow/White Cake and I'm looking for ideas of fillings to use. Maybe ice creams that seem like they would be good matches or some other good fillings? Thanks!
Any ideas for fillings to use in the Betty Crocker Bake and Fill pan?
You'd need something that would be stiff for a filling. You could try a pistachio/dreamwhip combination or any pudding/dreamwhip. The DreamWhip stiffens the pudding.
My sister has one of those and usually makes 2 different cakes and puts a layer of icing or filling between the cakes. YUMMY!

I dreamt that I lost several fillings from my teeth. What does this mean?
The fillings I lost were really long and when I pulled them out some of the bone came out with the fillings.
I have looked on the internet, but I can only find what loosing teeth means. And it wasn't my teeth, only the fillings.
Anyone knows?
Thanks.
I dreamt that I lost several fillings from my teeth. What does this mean?
Teeth in a dream are referring to one's speech. Whatever the words were either affected you "to the bone" or affected someone else that way. Fillings could be literally interpreted in the mind as "feelings". So, I would interpret this to mean you have had a recent encounter where someone either hurt your feelings "to the bone" or you hurt theirs that way.
Hope this helped.
Reply:Dreams of that nature as you described foreshadow 'loss' ... but 'NOT' necessarily the loss of "positive" things ... more like your removing 'negative decayed thoughts/aspects' of you life in order to repair and replace the same OR you may indeed suffer some loss ... but it will be salvageable ...
Make your own connections.

Got to get fillings - scared. Please help.?
Hi,
I just wanted to know if this was normal or not. I went to the dentist today for a check up and he says I need 4 fillings in my teeth. I was there a year ago and my teeth were all fine. Is it normal to get that many cavities in one year?
My mum is mad at me, she doesn't let me eat sweets at home, but I've been buying them at school and I think that's why I've got cavities now. My mum makes this huge deal about our teeth, my brother and sister have never had any cavities and they are older than me (I'm 15), so she's really angry with me now and I feel really bad about it.
What does it feel like getting fillings? I'm really scared now, because my friend says when she got a filling it was sore, and I have to get 4 of them!!!!! What do they actually do when they are giving you a filling? And how long does it take?
Thank you.
Cara.
Got to get fillings - scared. Please help.?
Hey hun, try not to worry about it too much. I don't know what the "normal" amount of cavities to get in one year is, 4 does seem like quite a lot to develop in one year, but I guess it depends on a few things really. You said that your mum doesn't let you eat sweets at home, is it only recently you've been eating them at school? If so, that might be why you have a few cavities developing in a short space of time.
Personally, I think you're done pretty well to get to 15 before you got your first cavities, there are lots of little kids out there who have cavities. So don't feel bad about it, it's normal to get cavities, practically everyone has them, I'm sure your mum will get over it.
I've had fillings in the past, and I need to get a whole load more done soon, don't worry, they're really not that bad. The worst part is the sound of the drilling, I'd advise you take your CD player and some headphones for during the procedure so that you can't hear the drill as much. It doesn't hurt unless the cavities are very deep, because they numb your mouth first. It doesn't take too long to do a filling, but it depends where it is on the tooth and how big it is. They probably won't do all 4 at the same time though.
Good luck hun, and try not to worry about it too much, it's not so bad. And make sure if you're going to continue eating sweets that you brush and floss every day!!!
Reply:It really doesn't hurt. They numb your gums, then give you novacaine and then drill the cavity out, then put the filling it. It really sounds worse than it is.
Reply:Having a dental phobia is completely normal - I'm 25 and nearly pass out before I make it into the office. It is hard to deal with, but it can be dealt with.
As for having fillings. I don't know if this will make you feel any better, but when I was 13 I had to have two cavities filled. Normal procedure is to numb the gums and mouth before drilling, but I was stubborn and refused to be sedated or have my mouth numbed. It did pinch to have the cavities drilled out, and tickled a lot, and I wouldn't wish to go through it again, but it wasn't horribly painful. You will most likely have your mouth numbed and the worst of it will be the tingling sensation as your mouth 'wakes up'. Just be sure to take an aspirin or something for pain and you'll be just fine!
And be sure to thoroughly brush your teeth and have fluoride treatments to help prevent future cavities.
Reply:I just had an old filling replaced. The worst part was the noise from the drilling.
They will numb your gums and then give you novacaine, after the numbing takes affect.
They had a new ultraviolet light that dried the filling (I think) and it was very fast. The whole procedure was less than 30 minutes in the chair.
Brush after each meal if you can, and floss daily, and that may be your last cavities.
Reply:Don't be scared. They will numb you and it will be over sooner than you think.
Reply:Its really not bad. They first give you gas to get you high, and you dont know whats going on. They then stick a needle in your gums and wiggle it. At this time they are shooting medicine that numbs your entire face for at least half a day. (which is cool if there is anyone you would like to fight) After this they take a drill that makes the most annoying sound in the world and drill out the center of your tooth. You cant really fill it though, that pain comes along later in the day. Good Luck
Reply:I just had 3 and they were done with the work within 45 minutes. They will give you a numbing shot, probably 2 if they are only working in one area. Your teeth might hurt for a day or two afterwards from the drilling and such, but it's nothing tylenol can't take care of. Your teeth will also be sensitive to cold, but that will eventually go away.
Remember, it's not just eating sugar that causes decay. Drinking coffee, teas, sodas, and even mild wreak havok on your teeth.
Be sure to brush and rinse with listerine everyday, but especially before bed. That's when the most decay takes place, at night when all the bad stuff is just sitting there in your mouth.
Oh, and if you get silver fillings, be carefull with sticking metal things in your mouth... I used to habitually chew on paper clips before I had my first filling. Aferwards though, the two dissimiliar metals will give you a shock when they come in contact with each other.
Reply:About the pain -- it is kind of unpleasant while the dentist is doing, it problably won't hurt the next day. They drill a hole in your tooth where the rotting area is, drilling away all the rotting part. Then they fill up the hole with acrylic, gold, or some other material. It's not really that different from patching a hole in a wall.
If you want to stop having cavities, you need to practice better oral hygeine. First, brush at least twice a day, and brush correctly. The idea is to scrub the little space where each tooth meets the gum. A lot of gunk collect there. Then use dental floss to scrape off the sides of your teeth -- you know, in between each tooth there is the left side of one tooth and the right side of the one next to it. Don't forget the back sides of your wisdom teeth.
Now here is an answer to the question you didn't ask: What causes tooth decay?
It's not food (not even sweets) and it's not bacteria. It's plaque. Plaque is a sticky substance that some bacteria produce to keep them from sliding right off of your teeth. It's a lot like the glue barnacles make to stick to the sides of a boat. Mouthwash may kill bacteria, but it does nothing to remove plaque.
You brush and floss to scrape and scrub away the plaque. If you go more than a day or two without a giving your teeth a good cleaning, then the plaque gets hard -- so hard you can't bush and floss it away. Then it can only be removed by a scraping from your dentist or hygeinist.
I used to have 2,3,4 or more cavities every checkup ... maybe 5 - 10 cavities a year. Then a dental hygeinist taught me how to clean my teeth RIGHT. That was over 30 years ago, and I have only had 2 small cavities since.
If you clean your teeth every day, and do it right, your cavities will be few and far between.
BTW, it doesn't matter if you clean your teeth and then eat. It's not the food that causes decay, it's the plaque.
Reply:doesn't hurt too bad. If you get nitrous oxide, all you really feel is the shot of Novocaine, and then hear the noises. If you can get nitrous, it is very nice.. :)

I just wanted to know if this was normal or not. I went to the dentist today for a check up and he says I need 4 fillings in my teeth. I was there a year ago and my teeth were all fine. Is it normal to get that many cavities in one year?
My mum is mad at me, she doesn't let me eat sweets at home, but I've been buying them at school and I think that's why I've got cavities now. My mum makes this huge deal about our teeth, my brother and sister have never had any cavities and they are older than me (I'm 15), so she's really angry with me now and I feel really bad about it.
What does it feel like getting fillings? I'm really scared now, because my friend says when she got a filling it was sore, and I have to get 4 of them!!!!! What do they actually do when they are giving you a filling? And how long does it take?
Thank you.
Cara.
Got to get fillings - scared. Please help.?
Hey hun, try not to worry about it too much. I don't know what the "normal" amount of cavities to get in one year is, 4 does seem like quite a lot to develop in one year, but I guess it depends on a few things really. You said that your mum doesn't let you eat sweets at home, is it only recently you've been eating them at school? If so, that might be why you have a few cavities developing in a short space of time.
Personally, I think you're done pretty well to get to 15 before you got your first cavities, there are lots of little kids out there who have cavities. So don't feel bad about it, it's normal to get cavities, practically everyone has them, I'm sure your mum will get over it.
I've had fillings in the past, and I need to get a whole load more done soon, don't worry, they're really not that bad. The worst part is the sound of the drilling, I'd advise you take your CD player and some headphones for during the procedure so that you can't hear the drill as much. It doesn't hurt unless the cavities are very deep, because they numb your mouth first. It doesn't take too long to do a filling, but it depends where it is on the tooth and how big it is. They probably won't do all 4 at the same time though.
Good luck hun, and try not to worry about it too much, it's not so bad. And make sure if you're going to continue eating sweets that you brush and floss every day!!!
Reply:It really doesn't hurt. They numb your gums, then give you novacaine and then drill the cavity out, then put the filling it. It really sounds worse than it is.
Reply:Having a dental phobia is completely normal - I'm 25 and nearly pass out before I make it into the office. It is hard to deal with, but it can be dealt with.
As for having fillings. I don't know if this will make you feel any better, but when I was 13 I had to have two cavities filled. Normal procedure is to numb the gums and mouth before drilling, but I was stubborn and refused to be sedated or have my mouth numbed. It did pinch to have the cavities drilled out, and tickled a lot, and I wouldn't wish to go through it again, but it wasn't horribly painful.

Do white (composite) fillings make your teeth more sensitive?
I had 3 fillings done a few weeks ago in my back molars, 2 bottom (one was very large) and 1 at the top. The biting surface is still slightly uneven which I would expect, but I am getting pain in them. Its like they are very sensitive, especially when I eat. Is this to be expected after having 3 fillings, what should I do? I have been under a lot of stress lately and have heard that you can get pain in your teeth if you get stressed?!!
Do white (composite) fillings make your teeth more sensitive?
You're right, you can get pain in your teeth if you are stressed and grinding them but you would have had those symptoms before the fillings if that was the case. It is sometimes normal to experience some sensitivity after having composites done but you should get back to your dentist if it's been this long. You say the bite is still uneven but it really shouldn't be because, with white fillings, the shape they are when you leave the surgery should be the shape they are meant to be, so if they feel uneven then they aren't properly in line with your natural bite, and this is why you are getting the sensitivity, especially if it's when you eat. Go back to your dentist asap and they will check the occlusion, file the fillings down a bit and the problem should be solved. You shouldn't leave it any longer because you could cause trauma to these teeth. Hope this helps.
Reply:filling can be sensitive for months after they are done
they susally stay sensitive for a few weeks and then come and go for a few weeks and them you get usued to them and there is no more sensitivity. if after two months they are stills ensitive you need to go back to your dentist and tell them
Reply:It doesn't make your teeth sensitive but it will be sore when you chew and drink etc. for a few month's. If it is still the same in 2-3 months time talk to your dentist.
Reply:my hubby had one of those and its 6 months later and it still hurts him, i dont think that the dentist did a good job or its the type of filling that is hurting. I dont know personally i havent ever had a cavity. Go back to the dentist and have them check your bite, that might be the problem too.
Reply:It's not the fillings, it's the way they were put in. Revisit the dentist and complain.
Reply:You shouldn't experience pain other than the after effects of the anaesthetic injection!
When you have top/bottom fillings %26amp; are told to bite down %26amp; move your teeth on a piece of inked paper - the dentist is trying to get the teeth as level as possible as if he doesn't, you will get bruising. This is VERY painful and will not go away on its own.
Go back %26amp; just ask the dentist to re-check your bite now you are no longer numb!
Reply:Sometimes a deeper filling (with composite) can cause sensitivity. I have them myself. My dentist explained that she used a desensitizer to help prevent the sensitivity. Over time, it has grown less and less sensitive...but you should see your dentist about it if it continues.
Reply:Anytime you have fillings done or other dental work it will be sensitive for a few months, however if it feels really uneven, you might want to revisit your dentist and bring it to his attention. It could cause other problems with the alignment of your jaw. This happened to me.
Reply:You shouldn't have composite resin in your posterior teeth. Composite is designed for the anterior teeth to blend in and make a natural look. The fact that it's uneven means that the dentist didn't take his time in ensuring the chewing surface is even with the rest of your pits and fissures. I suggest you go back and tell him. The sesitivity is either air, food, or pressure on your nerves.
Reply:Yes if the fillings are white then they tend to be more sensitive to hot and cold. It is because of the material they are made of, it is chemically bonded to the tooth and there are some particals of plastic in there so when you eat something hot it will expand and push against the teeth wall causing pain or discomfort, again with cold it will shrink and pull the teeth causing pain again. If you are stressed you may grind your teeth which can also cause pain.

I just got fillings and i need help?
i got dental fillings yesterday and i ate taco bell right after that and my mouth was still numb. did eatint the taco bell do anything 2 my fillings. they dont feel differend
I just got fillings and i need help?
I had fillings yesterday too and I was numb for a long time! I don't see how you could have eaten Taco Bell while still numb! I had to have a milk shake and also mashed potates.
You shouldn't eat anything you have to chew while numb. You could be in danger of biting your lip or cheek. You should eat only soft foods while numb too. The dentist should have told you that.
I wouldn't think your fillings should be damaged or anything. It does depend on the fillings themselves though. I head heard of some fillings coming out early within hours after filling because they didn't have time to set and the person ate something sticky or to hard that would crack it or pull it out. So I wouldn't think a taco would do that.
If you have any concern I'd call the dentist just to be safe. Next time stick to soft food. I always have a milk shake after dental work, it is cold and easy to swollow. I'm still eating soft foods now because I'm still VERY VERY sore.
Reply:then no...if they don't feel different then your fine
Reply:Probably not. See your dentist if you are still concerned.

Why do they call them "silver" fillings when they are 50% or more mercury?
According to http://www.y2khealthanddetox.com/mercfil... dental amalgam fillings are 50% or slightly more mercury %26amp; only about 35% silver along with 9% tin and 6% copper; so why are they called "silver" fillings? Shouldn't they be called mercury fillings?
Why do they call them "silver" fillings when they are 50% or more mercury?
They're called silver AMALGAM fillings, which means they are an amalgamation of many different compounds, one of which is silver. And it also, conveniently describes the colour of them which is easier for some people to understand - some people don't understand terms like amalgam or composite, so calling them silver or white fillings makes it easier for them to know what they are going to have done.
Reply:Do not know
Reply:They are called silver because that is their colour. This said my colleagues and I call them amalgams (which means an alloy containing mercury) rather than "silver fillings" .
Incedently they do actually contain silver. The setting reaction is as follows:
Ag3Sn + Hg -%26gt; Ag3Sn + Ag2Hg3 + Sn7Hg
Reply:Because the term silver is used to describe the color not the components.
It's very simple! Think of a box of crayons, the metallic crayon in the box is called SILVER, not metallic or mercury.
Reply:Whoa there pardoner...you must have missed one of your chemistry classes...the one where they explained that a small amount of Mercury is only used to bind the silver amalgam formula together into a putty like mass. Once the amalgam is mixed the Mercury is squeezed out for the most part and very little remains. What does remain is converted into a stable alloy by the other metals which are also part of the formula. While there has been concern about the Mercury, studies have shown it to be safe...I suspect that your interested in changing the name in order to create a panic over it's use. BY the way, you are no doubt aware that Arsenic can be a deadly poison when swallowed, are you also aware that there have been many people who have intentionally swallowed it in limited doses as a health improvement agent and to give them an extraordinarily clear complexion....No doubt the doses is very limited wouldn't you say, otherwise they would be pushing up daisy's, just as dental patients would were the amount of Mercury to much in "Silver amalgam" filings.

How much should it cost for fillings, root canal and crown?
I was given a quote to get some fillings, a root canal and a crown. The fillings range from $215 - $272. The root canal is $1,168. The high noble crown is $1,115. Those are their regular prices. I presented my discount card and it reduced the prices by half. So, the fillings would cost around $88 - 115. Root canal - $ 584 and the crown $700.
My parents thought that they raised their regular prices on purpose to make my discounted prices seem reasonable compared to the regular price. Am I getting ripped off or are these prices reasonable?
How much should it cost for fillings, root canal and crown?
The cost of root canals depends on the number of roots the tooth has. Your front teeth will be cheaper because they have one root, where as your molars have 2 or 3. The average cost for 1 root: $360-$700, 2 or 3 roots:$600-$900
The cost of fillings depends on what material will be used. If its amalgam or gold it will be from $75-$145 If you want something more esthetically pleasing which are composite fillings youre looking at $150-$200 per filling.
The same thing applies to crowns...If you want a porcelain crown it will be more expensive than stainless steel crowns crowns range in prices such as $600 to $1100
I would say they are giving you some high pricess with the disscount and all...But getting dental work done is hardly ever cheap=(
Goodluck!
Reply:I don't know about anywhere else, but the discounted prices you listed are what the regular prices are here for those procedures.
Reply:those prices are reasonable
at my dentist
a filling - about 150
root canal and crowns are both 1000
Reply:The filling would depend on the number of surfaces (there are 5 surfaces on a molar tooth).
1 surface is about $40
all 5 would be about $110
Root canal on a molar (more expensive because it's a bigger tooth) $700-$800.
Crown (regardless of tooth size) is about $700.
These prices are typical in Pennsylvania.
Prices are different depending on which part of the country you live in.
So, I think the 1/2 price thing is probably the real price.

Prices are different depending on which part of the country you live in.
So, I think the 1/2 price thing is probably the real price.
Has anyone had those white composite fillings done & still experiencing pain?
I had that laser filling done with white composite fillings back in '99, those fell out very quickly. I dont even know when they fell out, but anyway of course the teeth were just open for problems so I got cavities again. I had fillings put in my first and second molar bottom right #'s 30 %26amp; 31 December 20, 2006. My teeth are hurting like crazy. Sensitive to the touch, crunchy foods, hard foods you name it.Now I also have a silver filling in my first molar bottom left # 19 no problem, a lil sensitive to very cold things of course but NOOOOOOO big problem. Is there something wrong? Has anyone else experienced this? If so what did you do about it. I just checked out this website where all these people were complaining about these white composite fillings. check this out. http://ehealthforum.com/health/topic1541...
Has anyone had those white composite fillings done %26amp; still experiencing pain?
I had my silver filling removed and the desist use the white composite and I am having no problems and it's been two years.
Reply:I will tell you with the tooth colored (composite) fillings, they are prone to be more sensitive than silver ones, due to the shrinkage factor. When you light cure the composite it shrinks, leaving a micro gap between the tooth and the filling material, that is why it is essential for the dentist to place the filling in increments, and could be the reason for your sensitivity
Reply:Composite fillings are just as good as silver fillings, especially these days. Silver fillings are more likely to cause discomfort because they conduct the heat or cold much more easily. It sounds like you still have decay underneath the fillings in your molars, so you may need to have them redone again or they could possibly be in need of root canals. Give your dentist a call!
Reply:in short brief if the pain presents after 4 weeks maximum recall your dentist
more details are related to dental materials and biomaterial and also to biocompatibility
good luck
Reply:i am a dental assist. white filling tend to shrink therefore if u have them in any of ur BIG teeth they will prob cause u sensativity but nothing to worry about. anyways the best thing to do in other than ur front teeth get amalgom..... silver fillings b.c they last longer and are much much stronger. white fillings are meant for the front teeth and after 20 or so years do fade away and will need to be replaces. i hope i helped out. contact me if u have any further questions.
Reply:From what you've explained, (quiet throughly I might add, thank you) I would tend to lean more to the fact of how long these teeth were without fillings? Was the decay deep? Were they hurting prior to having them filled? If so, they may have had too much bacteria reach the nerve of the tooth to just be filled. If that's the case, they may be in need of root canal therapy to save them.
On the other end of the spectrum, (being that they weren't painful prior to be filled) you may just need to have the occlusion adjusted on the new fillings. Composite, or white fillings usually are not as sensitive as the amalgam or silver ones. They don't conduct hot/cold as fast (which radiates to the pulp, that causes the pain) as the amalgam ones do. The fact that you are also experiencing pain to touch and chewing hard foods, would indicate that it's your bite. This is a very common problem which is easily taken care of with a simple adjustment. Composite filling aren't hard to adjust when the patient can bite down and mark the tooth. Quite often that's difficult for a patient to do when they have been numbed, had their mouth stretched open for awhile and they are afraid they may be chewing on their tongue. One way for you to check is to gently close your teeth together and see if you feel like you touch the new filling, or that tooth first. Which may be the case right now if you've caused more trauma by hitting it for a few weeks. The ligaments holding the tooth have a tendency to become bruised in the socket, causing swelling, which makes the tooth taller. If this is the case, you need to call the dentist office very soon before you damage the nerve of the tooth. Contuined trauma from the heavy hitting could (and sometimes does!) kill the nerve in the tooth, thus causing the tooth to need root canal therapy. Not to mention needing a crown after that. Sometimes just a seditive temporary filling gives your tooth (a little dental pun coming up here) a break, and re-filling later, after it settles down works very well. Adjusting the bite is done at no charge, painless, and you will have immediate relief. Just be sure to avoid chewing on that tooth for a few days to let it heal, and approach chewing on it slowly afterward.
In either case, call your dentist office and let them know what's going on. I am sure they will want to see you immediately and get you out of pain. In the mean time you can try using Advil or Motrin 600mg each dose, to help with the pain and inflamation. Hope I've been of some help. Good luck!

Do crowns replace fillings?
My dentist wants to give me a lot of crowns and I want to get rid of the amalgam fillings that I have had a long tim e(far too many of them). I agreed, and a cast was made of my teeth but then he seemed to tell me that the amalgum fillings would remain after the crowns were fitted. I have cancelled my next apointment, I have tooth ache. I really need to know where I am on this. Help please!
Do crowns replace fillings?
You won't see any of your fillings because the crowns fit over and cover your old teeth. It'll look like a brand new tooth with no filling in it at all. It's like a cap that fits over your tooth.
Reply:nope crofor root canals filling r to fill cavities.should listen to your denist
Reply:seems like your dentist wants to make money out of you....I suggest consulting with another dentist for a second opinion.
Reply:If you have a crown it will be placed over a small bit of tooth that they have made to fit it like a cap. they will also root fill the roots so effectively killing the tooth. This is a way of keeping a bad tooth and not needing a denture. In the older days....which i can remember lol...they used this method a lot but now dentists like to try everything else first becauise its a desperate solution as it kills the tooth. You would no longer be able to see the tooth underneath or any previous fillings...hope that helps
Reply:Depending on how big the fillings are you could have inlays made to replace them which are made of porcelain, gold or a composite material instead of crowns which are destructive of the remaining tooth.
You could also have the amalgam replaced before having the crown made if you still want to have the crowns but this will add expense.
You could also find a dentist who is happy putting in white fillings but again this will depend on how big the cavities are.
The tooth ache should be sorted out before and crowns are made and i think this is a separate issue.

Don't all kids have fillings?
My 8 year old daughter came home from school today really upset. They'd been doing an exercise about teeth and they had to look in each others' mouths and draw on a diagram where there were fillings or missing teeth etc. Anyway, apparently some of her classmates were making fun of her because she has quite a few fillings, I think she has 5 or maybe 6.
Don't all kids have fillings? I know I've always had a mouthful of them since I was really young, I thought it was pretty much a part of growing up.
Don't all kids have fillings?
I think it was common for kids to have fillings 30 years ago, but now it's not as common because of fluoride in the water etc. I'd say it would be relatively normal for 8 year olds to have a filling or two, but 6 sounds like quite a lot, maybe you should watch what she's eating and how she's brushing her teeth, and maybe speak to the dentist about sealants?
Reply:I didn't, and still dont
Reply:AT THAT AGE FILLINGS! NEVER HEARD OF IT
Reply:No not all kids have fillings
Reply:Almost all kids have fillings, but not every one. Just tell her that in that area all kids are different, same as hair, weight, height, feet, etc. no one is the same, that'd be boring anyways.
Reply:I was 17 when I got my only filling.
Reply:nope all kids dont , my daughter 15 and has none , have a 3 year old and his teeth are perfect but know a lot of kids who do have them and she shouldnt be upset as most will eventually get them
Reply:no not all kids have fillings. if you have your child brush there teeth twice a day and limit the amount of sugar they can avoid cavities
Reply:I have no fillings at all.
Reply:Ummm... no. I got two teeny cavities when I was 10 due to my molars growing in with fissures in the enamel, but those are the only two that I have. My sister has none.
Flouride in the water is a big factor. We grew up where the water was naturally flouridated and we've actually had dentists in non-flouride areas say, "You didn't grow up here, did you?" as soon as they have looked into our mouths.
Reply:Neither of my children have any fillings. Not trying to make you feel bad, or say you are neglecting your daughter's teeth. At my first dental appointment, I got 8 fillings.
Reply:Actually many kids today don't get cavities due to the advances of modern dentistry. Those that due rarely get "metal" fillings as they use a substance that is the same color as one's teeth, which is healthier than "metal" fillings.
Reply:Tell your daughter to relax: most ALL people (except for denture wearers) have some teeth cavity fillings. It's rare for kids to effectively brush their teeth as parents or dentists would perfer.
And it's even rarer to find people who have NO cavities.
Assure your daughter she's well in a normal crowd here. ALL my teeth have fillings.
Reply:I dont have any...and Im 31! Mine are 12 and 3 years old and have no fillings either.
Reply:i've never had a filling and i don't intend too. most of the people i know got fillings when they were in their teens or 20's not as a child, i guess it depends on if she eats lots of sweets and drinks fizzy drinks.
I guess it's nothing to really worry about maybe just cut down on sweet things so she actually does have some teeth left for he teenage years
Reply:NO, not all children have fillings. I'm 32 and have no decay in my mouth. Cavities form from poor hygiene and not maintaining your dental health. Also it can be a hereditary, a trait you carry because of your family genes. Sometimes prescription medications can cause the teeth to become weak and brittle which can also lead to decay. I would strongly recommend seeing a dentist on a regular basis. Also, having your child start seeing a dentist a young age is not a bad idea. I have been in the dental field for 14 yrs and we recommend you start having your child start seeing a pedodontist (children's dentist) at 3 or younger if there is any visible decay.
Reply:Hello, Actually, there is a coating that the dentists are using now when they are doing fillings during a procedure. As a result, the person's fillings will not show when she or he opens their mouth.
I also have a friend who never gave her child sweets. She gave him gallons of milk to drink and healthy foods. He got his first cavity when he became 20 years old. Her second son was not so fortunate. She was with a different fellow this time and they had a baby. He decided that he wanted to spoil his son by giving him candy and sweets everytime that he came home from work. Now his son is seven years old with 13 cavities, 1 rotten tooth and they want to put him to sleep to pull out his bad teeth. His mother was totally against giving him sweets but her boyfriend gave him sweets anyway.
So, think about the first thing that I said and try to give your chilren different types of snacks that do not have sugar.
Reply:No not every one gets fillings. Don't worry its a faze for that age.
I have a 9 year old son that has had fake teeth when he was 4, and my other two have had no problems with teeth. It just depends on the kid just like everything else in this world. Tell him its ok and some kids are just mean but at least his teeth are being taken care of because if you don't take care of it they will be lost.
Reply:Some fillings are beyond the parents control as the teeth are formed with naturally open pit and fissure anatomy. The types of fillings over which you have the most control is the fillings between the teeth (called interproximal fillings) As this type of filling is a result of decay between the teeth caused by inadequate Oral hygiene and ditary factors.
I'm a dentist and have a daughter with 6 fillings all started in the pits, fissures, and central grooves of her teeth at age 3.1/2. Most of these are little more that sealants on her baby teeth, but two of them required anesthesia. these crevaces make ideal spaces for sugars to seep in and start cavities. We were so surprised because we brush her teeth every night.
We also have kids inthe practice that have no cavities at all inthe whole family. there are no pits, fissures, or grooves to speak of. ;
So again, some teeth are doomed from the start so it's important to take your kids to the dentist. Other teeth are naturally resistant. It's in the genes.
Reply:I always thought that too until i found out that one of my friends who is 24 has never had a filling! But I have heard that it is genetic to have many cavities. I myself have many fillings, and my parents did also.
Reply:fillings are given when holes in the teeth are formed normally by rotting of the teeth by too much sugar and bad food, regualar care of your teeth and visits to the dentist should of stopped these but a high diet of sugary foods would not. quite a few children have fillings, so it's nothing to worry about, the bullying by other children should not of happened because they are not perfect themselves.
Reply:everyone has feelings
Reply:nowdays not many kids have fillings. I have only had one on a baby tooth, which the dentist said could not have been avoided. so the simple answer is no, not anymore. A hight sugar diet could contribute as well, also make sure your shild is brushing well at least 2 times a day and flossing. make sure she has a dentist appointment every 6 months -1 year for a thourough cleaning. good luck.
Reply:no I don't (im 15)
fillings can either be caused by too much sugar in the diet or not good enough aural care. On the other hand the quality of your teeth can be purely genetical some people just don't have great teeth, like some people have flat feet.
Reply:my son is 8 and hasn't got any fillings,but his cousin who is 6 months older has had 3 teeth took out.
