No, that isn't true. Most fillings do need to be replaced eventually, but it depends on a lot of things. Just because you have a filling doesn't mean that tooth will always get decay. I personally have had fillings for over ten years and they are still good fillings and I have never had any problems with those teeth.
Yes. Grind it out and place a filling in the tooth.
The dentist will probably have to slightly enlarge the hole and put in a new filling. During the time since the filling fell out, the food you have eaten will have worn down the sides of the cavity and so the dentist may not be able to make a new filling stay in place without tidying up the cavity.
I had a tooth that had a cavity under a filling that was in the tooth for MANY years. The tooth finally cracked and the back corner fell off. It did not hurt but, I knew it had to be removed. The only thing that hurt was the little pinch from the needle of the novocaine. No worries.
Your dog got his adult/permanent teeth in at about 4 months of age. At 6 years old if he loses a tooth, that is his permanent tooth and nothing is going to regrow. Just make sure that there is no infection where the tooth was lost. Check for redness and swelling. Again there will be no replacement tooth as that was his permanent tooth.
It's possible, but the infection will most likely come back again. There is no telling when, but it will. A week, two years, no way to tell. - You can also see an endodontist for a retreatment where the old filling material is removed and replaced or an Apicoectomy, where a small incision is made on through the gum and bone and the tip of the root is treated and resealed. -RDH
Canned apple pie filling should be good for years.
it really depends, on how old you are, when the tooth gets pushes back. If you are a child or adolescent it is likely that the tooth will probably mend iself within a matter of years. However if you are a young adult, or just an adult you could have dental treatment to get it sorted if the dentist thinks it is necessary.
I am 48 years old and I am now getting my fourth wisdom tooth.
the wisdom tooth is the last tooth to erupt which erupts any time around 18 to 24 years of age.
just wait for a few years, my bro had his tooth pulled out at 3 years old and it grew fully at 7 years old. but that only works if the tooth was onefrom the 1st set of teeth you get
The tooth that is coming in behind the mandibular tooth is not deciduous, it will be a permanent tooth. These permanent mandibular teeth should be coming in anywhere from 6-10 years of age.
How old are you? If you are young (under 12 or 13 years old) and if you haven't hit the tooth lately, then it's probably a baby tooth. It is rare for a child to have a loose adult tooth. If you are an adult and have a loose tooth, it could be gum disease.
