Hi there, I'm 24, and need lots of fillings. I was meant to have 3 today, but only half got done, because even after 3 anesthetic injections, my teeth are so sensitive that when they drilled a hole to fill one of my teeth, it was excruciatingly painful.

I did and went back several months later, I was measured for a gold onlay. 2 days later some more of the side wall came away, so I went back to the dentist. I was told I could not be re-measured as the gold onlay was now ready to be fitted so I would have ...

Please could you tell me of any known negative effects of amalgam fillings, thank you. I wondered if amalgam could actually have any effect on your gums and bones as I always had very good teeth which seem to have deteriorated since having a metal bridge fitted.The bridge did not bond properly and after the first six months I have had a gap between the bridge and the tooth (for about three years). I have been badly let down by...

I had fillings on some molars 5 months ago and the dentist says they now need replacing as they have gone soft and it's caused by acid erosion. Can this really be true? I don't believe I consume a lot of high acidity foods.

Hello! I have got my tooth 36 composite filling replaced for the third time yesterday, with in a year! During first filling it was diagnosed that it had recurrent caries. Because it was causing a lot of pain on biting hard or crunchy food. Same problem persisted with the second filling too! Some times I feel mild pulsation in it. Went to dentist to get it checked for high spots but no use. I got my 36 filling restored again wi...

I had a filling in 1 of my molars and less than a week later the dentist had to remove the same tooth, I paid 70 for the filling and another 50 to have the same tooth removed less than a week later is this right? I'm also having problems with another tooth I had filled less than 6months later! I'm not happy about this at all!
