I have been told by my dentist that I need three small filling.  I do not have an dental insurance right now since my job does not offer it to me.  I never really had an issue since I would pay out of pocket for the cost of X-rays once a year and a cleaning.  That was all I ever really needed to have done.

Okay so I am thirteen and I have one baby tooth that has a cavity in it.  My adult tooth is there but has not yet came out enough to push the baby tooth out.  My mom wants to get it filled because she said the cavity can jump to my healthy adult teeth.  However I do not see the point when even the dentist said the tooth should be falling out if not this month then next for sure.  Why pay for a filling?  I do not think a cavity is going to jump to my adult tooth in less then two months.

I am a adult and I still have one baby tooth in the middle top of my mouth.  For some reason I do not know why I never got an adult tooth to replace this baby tooth.  Now I have a cavity on this tooth.  It is the only cavity I have ever had and the dentist tells me it is not worth filling since it a baby tooth and it is also a little loose.

I am having to have two crowns done with a filling here and there.  My dentist told me I should not keep putting it off or I will need to get a root canal which will only cost more money.  Okay so he scared me some about the work I need.   Right now I do not have dental insurance.   Is there any dental insurance plans,  I can get which would be okay with me knowing  I need this dental work done?

My dentist at the time told me that I needed three root canals and four filling.  I would also need crowns for the teeth that required the root canals.  The dentist at the time told me the cost for all the work I needed would be over 5000.00.  I did not have the money for such work to be done.  So I only fix the one tooth that was hurting me at the time.  That was over one year ago.

So I will be going in to have a small filling on one of my back molars.  The dentist is going to use a composite resin filling.  My appointment is within the next two weeks.  I was just wondering how long is the filling good for?  My dad had the same fillings since he was a child.  So do composite filling last that long?

Help I have to have two filling

I went to the dentist the other day and was told that I have two cavities.   He wants to do filling for them.  I am scared that I will have to have shoots in order for him to do the fillings.   I am scared of getting shoots and do not have them done unless I have no choice.   Can he do filling with out shoots?

Is it okay to eat?  I had my filling done around one o’clock pm today.   It is not four and I am hungry but my teeth still kind of hurt.  Is it okay for me to eat some chicken noddle soup?  I do not want my filling to come out because I ate something to soon.   Also how long should I my teeth be sore for?

I had a filling done

I had a filling done on one of my back teeth about eight months ago.  Now within the last few weeks that same tooth is starting to get sensitive to cold drinks and or foods.  Does it have anything to do with the original filling that was done eight months ago?  It is not real bad but I am worried about it getting worse.

I had two filling done about two weeks ago.  Ever since I got the filling my teeth still hurt when I eat.  Some times only the one tooth then the other and it is on and off again kind of pain.  The pain is coming from the two teeth I had the filling done.  I call the dentist and he said to give it two more weeks to see if the pain goes away.  If it does not to make an appointment to see him and he would check them out.   Does this seem right to you?

I have a cold but have an dental appointment

I have a filling that is going to get filled tomorrow.   I also have a small cold.  I am not big time sick or anything so do you think it is okay to keep my dental appointment.  If I cancel I would  have to wait another week before getting another dental appointment.

Long lasting pain what can I do

I had four filling done just a few days ago  Now the top and bottom of my mouth hurts.  It is painful just opening and closing my mouth.  It has been like this since right after having the filling done.  How much longer should I be having this pain?  What can I do to make it stop.  Please I do not want to feel this bad for New Years since I have a party I will be going to.

Does bleach your teeth whiten your silver fillings?

I have been thinking about whitening my teeth they are not as white as I would like them to be.  Does teeth whiting products whiten out your silver fillings?  I have a few filling so i am wondering would they get beached out as well?
