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.

You got a filling in your tooth bout 2 years ago it then fell out and you never got it fixed but you have this hole on your back tooth were it fell out.what will the dentist do?

When will upper canine erupt. it fell off 8 months ago still no sign of eruption for a 6 years old boy?
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.
After reviewing your x-ray of a tooth that had root canal 10 years ago an infection was discovered can this infection be treated with antibiotics as opposed to pulling the 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

It depends on a number of factors. If the baby tooth is infected, it needs to be treated. If the baby tooth is not expected to be lost for several months or years, it needs to be treated.

Failure to properly treat baby teeth can lead to severe and expensive problems in the future.
