So upset - DS needs his first filling

[mears]

at 21 years old!

I know the feeling - my perfect teeth got ruined by medication I had to take when I was pregnant, and I ended up with 7 filling at 21!

I remember having a batch of very small fillings, most of which were preventative, when I was about 17. And I haven't had any more since.

It is heart breaking after years of perfect teeth, but let's face it, nowadays you hear about milk teeth needing fillings, so going 21 years without a filling is a real achievement.

I had about 10 fillings in when I was 19... had a negligent dentist before that (and naturally soft enamel). In the subsequent 20 years I've had maybe 2-3 fillings since.
