    i had a filling earlier, and my dentist never told me anything about what i need to do maybe because it's not really necessary? but after i had a filling i bought a hotdog and start chewing using the tooth i got filled with lmao, i don't have other choice my other side of the tooth is in pain it has abcesse in it so my dentist said i'll need to wait for 7 days w/ antibiotics.
    That's why i only chew at the side of the tooth i had filling with.

I BECAME so paranoid like I've never been before and started checking again and again if the fillings cracked or of some thing has happened but I've come to terms with it that I've got cavities so I've got it and I've got them filled so it's fine and also i need to take care of it and atleast some of my teeth haven't decayed yet . Things could have been worst you know we might have had to have to have our teeth pulled or uprooted dude to an accident or what not. It's okay dude i went through the same phase and I on the other hand could not stop crying 😂 but I think if it was meant to happen it did and I need to take better care .

    My dentist wants to replace a tooth in the back that looks great but is about 15 years old. It is an old large silver filling and never gave me any problems. Apparently he wants to be proactive, take it out and crown it. I wonder if this is the best thing to do? They say they are not out to make money.

    The day I got my filling in couple hours chip of filling came out while I did not eat anything. There was no pain so was not worried. After a week days while I was eating and suddenly additional chipping came out and suddenly the tooth became very sensitive even to water. I can no longer chew or I will hurt badly on that filling. The dentist checked and said that the chip was from my earlier filling beside it. However the sensitivity and pain while eating occurs to the the one he did filling.
    It is been almost a month and no cure!
    Dentist says it can happen -- naming it post op

Any suggestions? Anyone.
