My daughter needed her fillings replaced with white fillings because of a medical problem. She said it was just like any other filling with local anaesthetic.
thanks Ubasses - read a wee bit and will read later tomorrow. Loved removing the filling "air abraising" - what we came through with that terrible drill years ago.
just seen your answer Prudie - I have mine (mercury) from when I was maybe 10 years old. Maybe get a tippex pen or something like that for teeth - just for going out mind.
I have white fillings and the larger one comes out quite often (3 times so far in 5 ish years?) and needs replacing other than that though they are just like any other filling, not more painful, just more expensive :(
so far so good Spicerack - brilliant that I don't have to take them out, look for them in the morning (dentures), and big time forget to put them in when I am going out. That bit has been great, but they are in 4 weeks today and so the gums are still a little tender but I know they'll heal. thanks for asking Spicy
Glad you're happy with the implants.
I still occasionally reach for my denture .... gone are them days :)
Over time, all my old fillings have been replaced with white fillings. If anyone looked in my mouth, they'd think I had no fillings lol :P
I'll be honest, I haven't had the problems that other people seem to have. I do recall a filling coming loose a couple of years ago - but it'd been in that long, I don't remember it being filled first time round.
