False teeth can't get cavities, so they don't need fillings.

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

You had a filling in your tooth about 12 days ago your dentist explained that the whole in your tooth was deep but you are still getting a lot of pain from the tooth should this be happening?

Sometimes, if a filling is very deep and close to the nerve, a regular filling may not work. It sounds as though you will need a root canal. Find out more at: Thornhill Dentist http://www.bcdentalcare.ca

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.๐˜ฉ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฑ๐˜ด://๐˜ธ๐˜ธ๐˜ธ.๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ24.๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ/๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ณ/372576/๐˜ฎ๐˜ถ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ช/


What is the cost in jamaican dollars to rebuild a broken or chipped front tooth at a dentist?

Depending on how much of the tooth is broken, you might need a crown, a veneer or a simple filling. In Canada, a crown costs about $1200, where a filling is around $300. Not sure in Jamaican dollars.


Is it dangerous if a dental filling that you have had for decades containing mercury amalgam falls out?

No. There is very little mercury in a filling. A white filling will have more shrinkage with time which will cause them to need to be replaced, long before a silver filling. But you should get the tooth fixed right away.


Is it bad to brush your cavities?

No you can't. You can only get rid of a cavity if you lose the tooth.


Why do cavities need to filled?

Cavities need to be filled to prevent further decay and damage to the tooth. If left untreated, cavities can lead to infection and eventual tooth loss. Filling a cavity helps restore the tooth's structure and function.


If you have a small cavity does it need to be drilled?

Yes, if you have a small cavity, it will typically need to be drilled by a dentist in order to remove the decayed part of the tooth and prevent further damage. After drilling, a filling will be placed to restore the tooth's structure.


Can a supernumerary be used where tooth is missing?

If the supernumerary tooth is in the area/close to the missing tooth, it may be possible, but unlikely. You would need an Orthodontist to evaluate this.


What are your options if you have a hole where a filling came out and you don't want a root canal as injections make you pass out?

You are going to have to have an injection whether you have the tooth pulled or root canal therapy. You really need to talk to your dentist to decide what is the best situation for your tooth. If it is just a case of a filling falling out though you shouldn't need root canal therapy but you might still need an injection for the repair of the tooth if the dentist needs to do any work to fill the cavity.
