[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a dentist. This sounds reasonable. For people who are saying “I had silver fillings replaced with white fillings or an inlay” it completely depends on how big/deep your silver fillings are, small ones don’t typically need replacement, but large ones often cause significant cracking in the teeth. The thing with this is that they are fine until they aren’t. So everything is all good and hunky dory until you bite down on an almond and then your crack propagates all the way down the root and you need your tooth extracted. Then you are looking at a 5,000 dollar implant instead of a $1500 crown. There are many silver fillings that can be watched for years and years, but to say that you have them and they are fine doesn’t mean that someone else’s are! [/quote]

This is what happened to me. A dentist told me I needed to have all of my silver fillings replaced. Two days after she did it, I bit into a bagel and terrible pain began. The tooth was broken. I had to have it removed and an implant put in.

I was told the old silver fillings were dangerous and had to be switched out.  [/quote]
