Fillings are materials dentists use to seal cavities after they clean out the decayed part of the tooth. They are also used to repair broken or cracked teeth. Fillings protect, preserve your teeth from expanding decay; they will also alleviate the teeth from any pain associated with this decay.

What is the pun in this sentence- an epitaph which reads here lies a dentist who is filling his last cavity?

The pun in the epitaph lies in the double meaning of the word "filling." In dentistry, "filling" refers to the process of repairing a cavity in a tooth, while in the context of the epitaph, it humorously implies that the dentist has passed away and is now metaphorically "filling" his final resting place. This clever wordplay blends the dentist's profession with the concept of death in a lighthearted manner.


My filling fell out and my hole is getting bigger in my tooth my head is hurting so bad what should i do?

A dentist can put in a new filling.


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?

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.
