7 fillings in less than a month is REALLY FUN.

/sarcasm

better than those old amalgam fillings that have mercury

[TheOwlDaddy]

@SKETCH730 It is not deadly but harmful. I'd rather had my tooth to be filled with pulled than filled with that shit!

[SKETCH730]

@TheOwlDaddy You can, but having crowns means taking away more of the tooth, which is destructive. Dentists will always try and save as much of the tooth as possible, and if composite was deadly it would be banned

Just got 2 fillings yesterday, 3 fillings today, and another 5 next week. OH JOY.

Oh wow, I have 3 fillings I need to get. This makes me nervous, so I'm going to get them next week! Has anyone ever had a black amalgam filling re-done to a white filling? I'm considering getting that one re-done, cause it's been aching on and off

[TheOwlDaddy]

@SKETCH730 It's not ridiculous, it's sad bad true. Composite contains more than 80 toxic substances like Formaldehyde or Bisphenole A. Nobody knows waht happens after the polymerisation of the material. And you can have crowns on your anterior teeth, it's better than the "chemical accident" from Minneapolis...... :)

@TheOwlDaddy Composite isnt toxic, thats ridiculous. Amalgam is more toxic because of the mercury in it, and even that doesnt do you any harm. And another thing, amalgam cant be used for anterior tooth restoration, so composite is your best option. I do agree however that amalgam is stronger, and it lasts longer, but only in the more posterior teeth

[TheOwlDaddy]

@parttimelaver Well, it's not black, it's silver. Looks more natural than the white shit, believe me and it lasts much longer........ :)

@TheOwlDaddy but at 27, my natural teeth are already an off white colour. The white filling i would be getting is not pearly white. Anybody you see with really white teeth over 20 has probably had their teeth capped. I'm not sure what point you are making but i will take your concerns about the toxicity of white fillings into consideration. But having had a black cavity for 3 years i don't want to get it filled with more black stuff. You know i'm sayin boss?
