    Hi, wonder if someone could answer these.

    1) You have a filling and it falls out. You head off to a Dentist to get it looked at - not the original Dentist who put filling in - and the Dentist says it just needs a bit of sealant as it's to small to fill.

    Now, to get the filling in in the first place original Dentist had to drill abit and if it's to small to bother filling now THEN what could have been wrong to warrant filling in first place??

    2) You go for a checkup and alls grand. 3 days later a filling from a few years back falls out (white one).

    Is it not possible to tell that these are on the way out???

    I went to a doctor for a check up a couple of days ago, doctor said I was fine, today I fell and hurt my knee, was there any way the doctor could tell I would have a sore knee?

    The answer to your first question, the first dentist removed (drilled) the decay, the second dentist just has to apply a small sealant.

    No, not when the cause was the result of the Fall that happened after.

    This is nearly...wait no, it's actually dumber than,

    Forces applied by mastication are far greater per square inch than those suffered in a fall.

    OP, the logical response would be:
    1- You had a PRR, or preventative resin restoration
    2- White fillings are held in place by an adhesive. Sometimes with an old filling the adhesive fails. Sometimes a patient bites something at an odd angle, is a heavy grinder, or has very few teeth which are under a lot of pressure.
    It's life, it's the human body, things fail.
    OR:
    The dentists, 1/both/all, are money-grabbing unethical gangsters, who don't give a damn about their work or their patients. You are correct in not trusting any of them.

    Hmm, What if your chute doesn't open on a jump and you fell from 10,000 Feet?

    Stop the bickering.

    Having read this thread also http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=92684629, which is basically the same thing, OP I think your have some trust issues with dentists. I think the answer is that if you don't trust the dentist your going to have a lot of questions afterwards. Find a dentist you do trust and take their advice, double guessing everything is only valid is you have as much information as your dentist, which without a dental degree you wont have. There are a number of areas in life when we are not in full control or where we dont have the ability to decide what is best without advice. Dental visits are one of these.

    No a filling can be stable one day and gone the next, a better analogy would be that you bring your car to the garage and the windscreen is fine, and the next day its cracked. Its can be sudden event with no warning signs.
