Who else has fillings in their teeth?

i just went to my dentist today and found out that i may need to have up to 5 fillings in my teeth, and im only 17. i was so upset and shocked, because i have been seeing dentists regularly for the last 4 years in conjunction with having my braces, and just when i get my braces off they realise there are problems with my teeth. its so sad and unfair.





is the process of having filings so bad? im not scared of the pain, just how it will look with all that silver in m mouth.

you don't have to have silver in your mouth. that's usually left to children anyway. i have fillings, almost everyone does. it's very common, even to have many. fillings will be white for you most likely because you're not a child anymore. and i had braces too, trust me, it pays off. i now have such a beautiful smile people always compliment me on it, and just smiling to myself makes me happy, it's honestly my best feature now!

Reply:It's not bad these days. I think they now use some white fillings. I've got numerous ones in my mouth. I wouldn't worry about it. Talk to your dentist about it.
Reply:I have fillings in my teeth too for the last 20 years. Apparently your teeth gets decayed easily when you are younger.





If your dentist is good and skilled and also gental, you won't feel much during the session.





Opt for white teeth fillings which will not look gastly like the silvery metal ones. So no one will notice that you have fillings. :-)
Reply:Its not bad .Its not the best thing you want to be spending your time doing but really its not reall painfull.I know it doesnt seem fair .My teeth were never great either.See everyone that is human has some type of health problem .None of use are perfect.There are alot of people that look like they are perfect and not ill but its being hidden or they dont know about it yet.None of use are perfect by far.Make the best out of this fill them and take care of them.One day they will turn into crowns take care of them at that time too. Just take care of yourself and dont blow it off and you will do great.
Reply:If I were you I would ask to get something other then amalgam fillings.
