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.

Is it possible to have two cavities in one tooth or is the dentist just trying to double-charge for one filling?
It's possible to have two different cavities in one tooth. It's also possible that it is just one cavity, but it is on two surfaces of the tooth. Each tooth has five surfaces. Each surface added to a filling will be more money.
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.

How does sugar harm teeth?
Bacteria located on the surface of the teeth use the sugars as a food source and through anaerobic fermentation, create lactic acid. This lowers the pH near the surface of the tooth, which slowly erodes the calcium hyrdoxyappetite crystals of the tooth. This may expose underlying layers, such as the dentin, to bacteria. This can lead to an infection of the tooth and require a root canal, extraction, or filling.

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 tooth’s 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 tooth’s foundation. In such cases, your dentist may recommend other treatments, such as a crown or even tooth extraction if necessary.
