Reply To: Dental Care Advice

thanks to all for the info, it is so interesting that you say silver fillings last longer as my dentist claims the white fillings last longer. However, in terms of white fillings being for cosmetic reasons, well, my dentist does care about how it looks. However, I am interested in getting what is best for my teeth. I do not care if it is silver as I can’t afford to pay so much for “cosmetic fillings”.

I am still confused because my dentist did tell me that white lasts longer. However, my fillings did come out probably as someone above stated “from biting too hard”. But, my dentist does keep my mouth very very dry when putting in the white fillings as tro11 said it must be dry.

If I decide to go along with silver fillings, I must find a new dentist because my dentist will not put in silver fillings.

Thanks all for the advice and info.
