At the weekend I was chewing on a chicken sandwich and managed to crack a quarter of my wisdom tooth off. It didn't hurt, but there were sharp bits left and I was worried it would start hurting.
I went to the dentist today adn she did a quick filling - very quick - I thought she was still cleaning. I've never had a filling before and I was a complete wreck, but it didn't need an anaesthetic and there was no pain at all, and all over in about 10 minute.
The filling she has put in is white, as I have enormous allergies to all metals, including mercury (all tested and confirmed by the hospital immunologist). however, now I've been googling (!!) and everywhere it seems that white fillings are not suitable for back teeth.
What will happen? I'm a complete filling virgin and also pretty scared of the dentist, so I just rushed out hugely relieved that I'd survived with the tooth intact. If she's used the wrong filling stuff, is it going to fall out or what?
