It seems like every tooth that I have had composite filling in has decayed around it. I need to have two teeth repaired because of failed composite fillings. To me it seems like they must be hard to get a good tight seal around them to prevent decay under them.
Are composite fillings more prone to fail?
Amalgam fillings are stronger than composite fillings, but you certainly can't have them placed into front teeth!
When the fillings are replaced, make sure the dentist runs floss between the teeth involved (if the fillings are on the 'sides' of the teeth). If the floss 'catches', the area needs to be smoothed/adjusted so the floss glides through freely.
Best of luck!
Reply:The answer could be in the things you are putting into your mouth. Chewing gum, drinking sweet drinks(sodas), white bread, candy and cookies etc, not brushing and flossing good all can cause composit filling failures.
