[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Lol by who??? That natural dentist in north Bethesda?? What a hustle they got going, all silver needs to come out!!! Take it out now it’s game over!!! [/quote]

If your silver fillings do not have decay around them, they do not need to be removed. Any dentist that tells you that they’re “dangerous” and need to be replaced is a straight up money grubbing a$$hole.

I love our resident dentist. [/quote]

If this is not sarcasm, then thank you!

Modern dentistry is the reason I work in public health. I treat people to try to keep their mouths healthy and more importantly out of the emergency room (I see a lot of trash mouths!). I get paid no matter what I do - even if patients don’t show. I don’t ever have to suggest anything that isn’t necessary just for the income. It’s great.

I really hate being associated with a profession rife with “scammers.”  I love to jump on these threads when it looks like someone is getting taken for a ride. [/quote]
