Bit of tooth has broken off

[Candleflower12]

As above. But the bit that has broken off now just exposes dental amalgam which is really visible, I’m not in pain currently but the edge is sharp. Will they be able to do anything to salvage it?

Thank you! This is really reassuring as im hoping this is what they’ll do 🤞

I too had a black amalgam filling. That was removed and the whole thing replaced with the composite. I was amazed, thought I'd lose the tooth.

Thank you for the reassurance I’m grateful. Will ring this morning and see what they sayb

Completely booked out at the moment have been put on the cancellation list 😩

I have just been through this - part of a molar fell off. It was cracked anyway, and my dentist advised that might happen about 10 years ago, so long ago he's now retired and I had to have a new dentist (same practice). They drilled it down, removing part of the tooth and part of the filling, and fitted a cap. 2 appointments, one to take impressions, drill the surface off and put on a temporary cap, and the second 2-3 weeks later to fit the cap

I think the sensible thing would be to ask your dentist.

Please read above lol

Dressing put in and booked in for a white filling tomorrow. £200 poorer but relieved!!

Thank Goodness! Hope it all goes well. The wallet emptying is usually the most painful part. 😅
