How long do dental fillings last, and can they cause problems?

Posted by Bidadari Lembayung Senja 20 January, 2010 - 68 views

I got some dental fillings for cavities 4-5 months ago. I think I felt them right after the operation but within maybe a couple of days I didn’t feel anything, and I don’t think I feel any difference now. I also periodically get pain where one of the fillings were – I’d feel some pain for a few days and then it disappears for a month or so. Does that mean I need to get it checked again and possibly refilled?

The composite dental fillings(the white ones) last from 3-5 years.May be less according to many things, but not 3 or 4 months.Amalgam or the silver ones can last for 40 or more years, but they come with their own health problems.

You should never ignore pain as it is always a sign that there is something wrong.You need to check with your dentist.

By the way the estimate time that I ‘ve given you it all depends first and for all if the dentist removed all the caries carefully from your tooth first.If he leaves any caries, and then fills the tooth , then he did nothing but worsen the problem.
