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.
Do dogs have an enamel?
The thickness of the enamel of dogs was measured in the teeth of the animal. The enamel was found to be thinner than that of human teeth, varying in thickness from 0.1mm-1mm. The "enamel bulge" coronal to the cemento-enamel junction does not consist of a thickened area of enamel.

What are the long term effects of etching the teeth in preparation for sealant application?
There are no long term effects of etching the teeth before sealant application. The etchant is a strong acid that dissolves the matrix material between the enamel rods that make up the tooth. It is rinsed off within seconds and leaves the tooth with a frosty appearance when dried. The nature of a resin dental sealant is that it requires a mechanical bond with the tooth, this mechanical bond is achieved between the sealant material and the enamel rods. In the case the tooth was "over etched" that is to say the sealant material is not covering the entire etched surface of the tooth, the minerals in the saliva, and topical fluoride rebuild that area of the tooth to make it as sound as it was before the procedure.

What is dental erosion?
Dental erosion is a permanent loss of all or part of a tooth due to the gradual chemical breakdown of the teeth. This breakdown is triggered by the introduction of some type of acid to the surface of the tooth. When regular dental hygiene is not practiced, the acid gradually wears away at first the Enamel (the outer layer of tooth) coating the exterior of the tooth, then advances to begin breaking down the dentin that makes up the main body of the tooth. Unlike many health issues, dental erosion cannot be reversed. The only solutions are to halt the erosion and use modern techniques to rebuild the damaged area of the tooth, or to replace the tooth altogether.

Can you paint enamel over latex?
Enamel is a word used to describe a finish, not the formulation of a paint. It simply means a hard reflective surface. Many people mistakenly use the word enamel when referring to oil based paints. So. if you are asking if you can paint latex or acrylic paint over a latex or acrylic enamel the answer is yes, however, I strongly recommend you sand the old paint first to give the top coat "tooth". If you are asking about painting latex or acrylic over an oil based paint the answer is still yes, however you must first sand the old paint and apply a good quality primer to it. Check with a reputable paint retailer for the best brand in your area.
