Fillings falling out??? HELP!!!!?

I just got about 8 fillings done at the dentist office last month. within the last week, every single one of them has fallen out. They were silver fillings. I haven't eaten any chewy candy since then to prevent cavities. What could have happened?

Fillings falling out??? HELP!!!!?
The teeth were not properly "prepped" to receive the fillling material. A dentist needs to create "undercuts" so that it creates a "mechanical lock" when the fillling material is placed, especially if he is using a material such as amalgam (silver) which does not form a chemical bond to the tooth.





The dentist is responsible for this knowledge and for doing a professional job. Since every filling failed, he or she is probably not performing up to standards established by the dental board.





I would first call the "American Dental Association" and file a formal complaint. Ask to see a different dentist because the first one is not worthy of your continued trust. State that you want to see a new dentist and charge the first office for your expenses (even travel expenses) to get the teeth properly restored. That failing, you need to pursue legal remedy.
Reply:sound like the dentists fault,,not yours
Reply:Your dentist did a really bad job! You need to go back and demand he redo them at no cost. That's ridiculous!
Reply:It sounds to me like you went to a bad dentist if all of them fell out so quickly. Go to somebody else to get them fixed.
Reply:Get another dentist and then report the one you went to.
Reply:It's the dentists fault. Go to a different dentist to get them filled after you've visited that office to get your money back.
Reply:They could have been poorly placed or there may be a problem with the filling material itself. Contact the dentist who placed them. S/He should be willing to correct the problem. If not, perhaps a call to the local dental society or state dental board (assuming you're in the US) would be in order.
Reply:I would DEFINITELY contact the dentist and insist that the situation be fixed FOR FREE. If the dentist refuses, or if the replacements fall out again, contact the American Dental Association.

Reply:well im not sure what happened but go see your dentist and he can tell you what happened and fill your cavities again even though its gonna cost like $1,000. My advice is ask your dentist.
Reply:A licensed Dentist was not working on you. You have to dove tail a prep to get the alamgam to stay in. Since it fell out he seems very unqaulifed. Go back complain get you money back. Go some place else.
Reply:The dentist didn't do a good job.
Reply:Were you instructed not to eat anything hard for 5 or 6 hours?


Could you possibly have eaten before the fillings were set? Thats the only reason I can think of for all falling out. Definitely contact this dentist and have it corrected. I am sure these fillings were very expensive.
