What else can I help you with?
If the Dentist says the tooth cracked because of grinding and not because of the filling he put in 2 weeks ago is this correct?
it is most likely the tooth had a small crack in it anyway. the tooth was alittle"high"from the new filling and the extra pressure from biting on it, cracked the tooth. usually after a new filling, you should go back to have the filling polished which strengthens the filling and adjusts the bite.
What do you do when a filling falls out?
Enamel is what protects the tooth, when your tooth needs a filling, it is because that enamel is no longer in that area. As you have no enamel where your filling was, it is highly likely that the hole will get bigger. It's much better to get it filled again to prevent further problems.

What are the considerations for placing a crown over an amalgam filling?
When considering placing a crown over an amalgam filling, it is important to assess the condition of the filling, the amount of remaining tooth structure, and the overall health of the tooth. The crown should provide adequate support and protection for the filling, ensuring long-term durability and functionality. Additionally, the compatibility of materials and the aesthetic appearance should be taken into account to achieve the best outcome for the tooth.
Does a tooth that is growing in affect a tooth that has a filling?

You had a filling in your tooth about 12 days ago your dentist explained that the whole in your tooth was deep but you are still getting a lot of pain from the tooth should this be happening?
Sometimes, if a filling is very deep and close to the nerve, a regular filling may not work. It sounds as though you will need a root canal. Find out more at: Thornhill Dentist http://www.bcdentalcare.ca

What are some good filling materials?
To treat a cavity or cracked tooth a filling is used to fill the area of the tooth where the decayed material was removed or where the tooth is cracked. There are several filling materials available including gold, porcelain, silver amalgam, plastic, and resin.
Should you have your tooth pulled or filled?
Possibly a root canal. Or he could put a false half on it. Dentists NEVER "glue back on" the other half. If it is a small "chip" most likely a filling will do it. A larger break will require a filling to make the tooth "tooth shaped" again and then a crown. A root canal is only needed if the tooth had large decay causing the break or if the nerve of the tooth is damaged or exposed.
