How Long Do Fillings Last?

How long do those fillings last? Great question!
Welcome to ToothBrothers, where we talk to you about teeth dentistry and the dental office.
Whenever a patient is diagnosed with a cavity that needs a filling, it’s common that they’ll have several questions for their dentist in Plano. We’re often asked things like, “Does getting a filling hurt?”, “How long will it take?”, and “How long will it last?” Today, we want to briefly discuss the longevity of your fillings.

You two are so easy to listen to. You both seem really cool and genuine. I am doing my best now to care for my precious teeth.

Bro i have a cavity on my front tooth and its so deep that if you touch it. My nerve in my tooth hurts @@toothbrothers262

[@Saturns.66]

Very informative! ✨

[@Coasty_Kai]

Hey I have a chipped front tooth with a composite filling on it,it has chipped in both corner’s wondering if dentists can layer fillings or do you need to restart on bare tooth??

[@kaysekline1352]

I had fillings on 4 of my front top teeth, one was quite large, when can I bite on my front teeth again? My dentist said to start eating as soon as I’d like but im worried the filling will crack… can’t bring myself to eat with front teeth

[@brandenkane4231]

Can you guys answer this for me? I’ve had this happen two times to me now from the same dentist. I just got a filling in my top left tooth last week and it’s already out. Is that my fault or theirs? I started eating when I didn’t feel any pain but I still tried to bite softly when eating. I flossed and brushed every single day until last night. I didn’t feel it or even know it was out until I started brushing. Then I FELT FELT IT. I’m going back as soon as I can but that’s Monday so that means I can’t eat or drink until then or else I’m in excruciating pain

[@carolinaveloz2451]

Nothing is wrong with my tooth, it’s just small and shaped weird. I have pretty good hygiene. Teeth brushing and flossing. It’s one of my canines. How long would the filling last?

[@angelwitchywildingrocco]

First front teeth fillings ive had last week....and when the anaesthetic makes your nose and top lip numb not a fan of that.....🙄🙄🙄 but yeah it hasn't fallen out yet.....i have to have dentures this August after having several bad teeth removed in the hospital under General anasthetic..... I had to wait a year my dental anxiety was so bad i did try a nervous patients clinic it wasnt a good one though they couldn't convince me to try sedation

[@danielskrauklis1994]

is it important for tooth health that filing match the original anatomy? My tooths filling is not exactly in shape of real tooth and i’m wondering should i change dentist.

[@Sunstepa]

Yes.

[@HousesByVic]

Wow they must have did a great job. I've had multiple fillings in for over 20yrs now. lol

[@marcusflippen5576]

I just had a feeling put in how long does the pain hurt

[@kenneththeg742]

were they amalgam or composite?

[@Nemophilist..]

I had my teeth filled in 2012, and after 6 months the filling elements were out, when I ate something Or brushing after meal that powder out . So my question is how long last this types of fillng ?

[@SootheSound]

Diagnosed a filling after 2 years no dental visit, covid lockdowns etc. Very small dark shadow between 2 teeth. No current pain or issues. Glossed daily, electric toothbrush, don't eat sweets and drink mostly water. Where would the decay come from? And should I proceed with the filling?

[@annaterzieva1205]

Try replacing the electric toothbrush with normal, ig that will help

[@SootheSound]

@@annaterzieva1205 what worked best was a second opinion from a dentist who had been practicing for over 15 years. No filling, despite me checking with her. Amazing.

[@MelModica]

Could be vitamin D deficiency

[@puppetmasterreloaded3341]

Why in my country they dont have amalgam filling, is it banned worldwide. I want amalgam cause it can last upto 30 years. Its frustrating to use this low quality plastic composite

[@Elias-yx9gx]

Which country is that which doesn’t allow?

[@bon4560]

Hello! Im about to cry right now because Ive had a pasta filling yesterday and I said they needed to put a filling in a small gap that I kept feeling and they drilled it. I think they thought it was excess pasta but it is actually the real shell of my tooth and Im panicking because it might make things worse for my tooth :(

[@NousaibaB]

Can you please do a video about toothbrushes? Are electric brushes better than regular ones? And what are the best ones to splurge on?

[@toothbrothers262]

Hello there, sorry for the late response! Electric toothbrushes are far superior to manual toothbrushes! Hopefully we’ll get around to making a video to explain why. We recommend the two name brands oral B or Sonicare. You don’t have to break the bank on these brushes either! $50 should get you one that does just fine. If it comes with a timer it’s a plus! 2 minutes in the morning and 2 minutes at night! (Sometimes people even brush once more after lunch) Thanks for watching!

[@NousaibaB]

@@toothbrothers262 got it 👍🏼, Thanks a lot

[@henriettahenson]

I have had some old fillings for the last 40years... I'M having them replaced because my teeth at the back are breaking leaving the filling still in tact.. So I'm having white compasite fillings..replace old ones doubt they will. Last as long this time... I'm 71 so dosnt really matter 😂😂😂

[@badronne1918]

Hey man, the silver ones last 40 years then broke the tooth ? Haha wow, were they root canaled teeth?

[@henriettahenson]

No just fillings I HD in as, a teenager... I have lovely white fillings in place now at the back and it looks like I have a new set of teeth brilliant..

[@krazykaye8843]

Is it normal to still have tooth sensitivity when I bite if I have fillings? I feel as though I'm going to break them.

[@villanelle77]

Did it go away? I have the same problem

[@krazykaye8843]

@@villanelle77 I'm confused because my dentist said that it's completely normal to still have sensitivity but my new dentist said that I I might need root canals and new crowns. They're still sensitive to hot foods. 🤷 But so are the rest of my teeth.

[@villanelle77]

@@krazykaye8843 thanks for the reply, i woke up this morning and the feeling is gone for the most part. Hopefully i wont need a root canal

[@krazykaye8843]

@@villanelle77 that's good to hear, my dentist said that the sensitivity should lessen after some time but if it doesn't a root canal might be necessary, glad to hear that you're feeling better.

[@nilsraymond5547]

Thank you very much! Do you have any fillings? Hehe

[@AjTheDarkestNarrator]

I had a filling and I grind a lot in the night to cope with anxiety and stuff…. And Ngl I think my dentist did mine wrong anyways but I ended up breaking my filling out with some hard ass piece of food… my new insurance isn’t much of a help and this tooth issue just happened like four days ago almost… I ordered a tooth repair kit so I won’t cut my tongue on it cause it’s a back tooth… I’m barely 20 bro… and can’t drive to a dentist…. My insurance doesn’t give free rides so idk what it even gives at this point… but I know I just want it refilled without me wanting to grind more while there’s a hole… I kinda feel like if they didn’t give the filling this wouldn’t have happened but I was having pain (didn’t tell them that…. I kinda lied and said no.) I don’t like admitting I’m in pain tho. I just don’t wanna spend thousands of dollars for one filling bro when I only get paid 200$ a week (part time job tryna go slow with how bad my mental health is.) but idk all I can do is brush and hope for the best I guess…. 🥲
