[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 310892, member: 7083"] It's not shady dentistry. I've had this happen all my life and the dentist I go to is in the office where my mom works. Plus my mom is an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant - meaning she can do fillings - so she would know. And this is a composite filling that came out, not amalgam. It's from years and years of not making enough saliva, plus medications now that increase it - lisinopril, especially. It doesn't help that it seems like most of the time I can only chew on one side or the other because of some new issue with my teeth. This filling came out on the side that I've been chewing on lately because of the wisdom tooth ordeal. TM - I can't do the full mouth guard because my gag reflex is too bad. They do make a new one that just fits over just the front teeth, but my insurance doesn't cover it and it's around $400. I do clench like crazy - even during the day like GN - so it's probably something I'm going to have to invest in when I can get the money together. [/QUOTE]
