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!

The golden inlay from one of my lower molars came off six months ago. The NHS dentist put it back in four months ago but saw decay underneath the inlay. I was told to fix the decay and get a new inlay. I have had no symptoms whatsoever at any stage. What will happen if I just leave it as it is? I haven't needed a filling for several years. Many, many thanks.

I am 57 years old. I had gum disease for years and my gums are eroded with a lot of root exposure.However they are comfortable and stable and I'm not much interested in work which is only cosmetic. My NHS dentist is sadly no more.The new one wants to do buccal fillings. Are these at all necessary and why?

I got my first filling in my adult teeth a few years ago in my molar. I've had it replaced 2 or 3 times due to pain/sensitivity. Since the last time I had it there have been some days where it's been sensitive or painful but majority of the time fine. It became sensitive recently and I could feel part of the filling was missing. The dentist filled it back in for me 9 days ago from today. Since I had ground down the filling fro...
