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.
