Haven't been drilled in yrs
Mar. 9th, 2010 02:22 pm1. I just came back from the Dentist. Replaced an old silver filling with the newer non-silver white fillings. I hadn't had my teeth drilled in maybe 10 yrs. I forgot how irritating the sound is. Now I am dribbling coffee all over me; my mouth is still numb lol
2. I go back in a few weeks to replace 4 more.
3. Initially, the dentist said I should replace the silver due to possible leakage over the years into my bloodstream.
4. Today the other dentist (his wife or sister), said that there is controversy over that issue. Silver fillings have been around for over 100 years; it affects some but not most.
5. Most change it out for vanity purposes.
6. So I did it for nothing?
7. Oh well.
8. I'll still change out the rest, since my insurance covers it.
