What will happen if you get a filling on your wobbly tooth?
Getting a filling on a wobbly tooth can seem like a quick fix, but it may not be the most effective solution in the long run. A wobbly tooth often signals underlying issues, such as gum disease or tooth decay, which might need more than just a filling. If you place a filling on a loose tooth, it may not adhere properly, as the toothโs structure may be compromised. This can lead to the filling loosening or falling out over time. Additionally, the filling may not address the root cause of the looseness, like infection or weakening of the toothโs foundation. In such cases, your dentist may recommend other treatments, such as a crown or even tooth extraction if necessary. At Elite Body Home, we provide expert dental care to assess the health of your teeth and offer solutions tailored to your needs, ensuring optimal oral health and longevity.
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.

Can you get an infection after a root canal filling falls?
Yes, it is possible to get an infection if a root canal filling falls out. The filling serves to seal the tooth and prevent bacteria from entering the tooth's interior, so if it is lost, the tooth can become exposed to oral bacteria, leading to infection. It's important to see a dentist promptly if you notice a lost filling to prevent complications.
why should the arnalgam used in dental fillings have the same average cofficient of expansion as a tooth what would occur if they were mismatched?
he reason why dental amalgam (a mixture of metals used in dental fillings) should have the same coefficient of expansion as a tooth is because the coefficient of expansion is a measure of how much a material will expand or contract when exposed to changes in temperature. If the coefficient of expansion of the dental amalgam is different from that of the tooth, it can cause problems. If the coefficient of expansion of the dental amalgam is greater than that of the tooth, the filling will expand more than the tooth when exposed to heat, and this can cause the tooth to crack or fracture. Similarly, when the filling contracts more than the tooth when exposed to cold, it can cause the tooth to become loose or fall out. On the other hand, if the coefficient of expansion of the dental amalgam is less than that of the tooth, the filling will not expand as much as the tooth when exposed to heat, and this can cause the filling to become loose or fall out. Similarly, when the filling contracts less than the tooth when exposed to cold, it can cause the tooth to crack or fracture. Therefore, it is important for the coefficient of expansion of the dental amalgam to be as similar as possible to that of the tooth in order to prevent these problems from occurring. In order to achieve this, dentists use a special type of dental amalgam that is specially formulated to have a coefficient of expansion that is similar to that of the tooth.๐ฉ๐ต๐ต๐ฑ๐ด://๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ.๐ฅ๐ช๐จ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ24.๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ/๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ณ/372576/๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฃ๐ช๐ณ๐ช๐จ๐ช/
What is a 3 surface tooth filling?
Its basically a large filling. A three surface filling can be described in example as "MOD Filling" which would the the mesial, occlusal, facial surfaces, if indeeed, that is the 3 surfaces the filling is going. Mesial and distal represent the different sides of the tooth, and occlusal is the top - center surface of the tooth. So MOD would be a filling ranging across the top of the tooth. The entire top wont be gone, but there will be a noticable filling.
