Livermore Dentist - Silver Fillings Replacing Them ? - Smiles by Design Livermore



Your are told by your dentist that you should get those silver fillings replaced, what next?  There are some theories that silver fillings can be detrimental to your health because of the mercury content.  This theories have never been proven true.

Although tooth-colored versions work well it doesn't mean you need to go and replace your current silver fillings.If you currently don't have any cavities below your fillings, they aren't broken or fractured then you shouldn't have to replace them. Any cavities below the fillings can be detected by x-ray or examination by your dentist.

The last thing you need to do is replace those fillings because silver fillings are passe.  You might be asking for trouble as your teeth may react in an unfavorable way and the last thing you need is for your teeth to become sensitive or the need now of a root canal or a crown. You might want to get a second opinion.
