[quote=Anonymous]"I have heard that each time you get a new filling they have to grind down the tooth more. So you might be wearing out your teeth (and heading to root canal) a little bit faster. I would do it only on teeth that are visible to the smile." True. I ended up with a root canal in my 20s because I had a filling that kept falling out (it probably wasn't done well the first few times), and ultimately it got too close to the nerve. I'm in my 40s and my dentist has been watching my old fillings for a number of years, his concern being that if one becomes too lose then bad bacteria can get underneath it and cause problems. So far, I have had one 20+ y.o. filling replaced two years ago, and it has been fine. And yes, insurance covered it. [/quote]
