A common myth is that every filling will need replaced eventually. An amalgam(silver) or composite(tooth colored) filling needs to be replaced if it breaks down or a cavity forms around it, or if the tooth fractures. If none of those problems occur, you can keep the same filling for life. Make sure you are seeing a dentist regularly so they can monitor existing fillings. Early detection of cracks, cavities and/or fractures can end up saving your tooth from requiring a Root Canal or even an Extraction. Call today! 303-254-4484
