Teeth Falling Out!

I had 3 teeth filled last week at the dentist as the fillings had dropped out the previous week, got home and 2 hours later a further back tooth had a large piece of tooth break off (while eating soft icecream, would you believe?!) Now tonight I have lost another old large silver filling - I'm falling to bits! Why do teeth break off and fall out suddenly when we are older? Am I lacking in Calcium or something?

How long do fillings last?
I've had some for well over 20 years. The most recent filling I've had lasted a couple of months.
I suggest you find another dentist.
If you go back to the same dentist, he should carry out the further work free of charge as these problems have occurred within 2 months of the last treatment.

My fillings seem to last forever, well nearly!

Grumpy - this is a new NHS dentist, the filling which came out had been from years ago with a previous dentist.

Thanks for advice Ratter - I was wondering if I would have to pay again ... :(
Was the latest filling that fell out done by the current dentist?
Sorry Ann thought your long term dentist wasn't much good.

No Ummm - crossed posts with mine at 9.27
Teeth get old like everything. I have only had problems with back teeth breaking and usually the bottom ones. you will often find that if one cusp has come off a second may break at a later stage and it cant be counted as the same procedure as the first repair.
There may be the lack of calcium, you turned the exact point. But, I am not a dentist and don't have the exact knowledge.
