[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 310775, member: 1963"] I think amalgam fillings (the "silver" ones) are supposed to last for five years or more. Old fillings do come out if there is additional decay under them. They often take a goodly hunk of remaining tooth with them when they go. There's been a big stink about a lot of Medicaid dental clinics intentionally leaving decay behind when they fill teeth. The tooth happily rots away under the filling and this gets you back into the chair to make these charlatains even more money. Even worse, a lot of these dentists will pull milk teeth unnecessarily, which puts the kid through a lot of unnecessary trauma and can damage the adult structure of the mouth. [/QUOTE]
