Hello

I’m just wondering if there’s any dentists out there, or anyone else who can offer a little reassurance.

On Wednesday evening part of my amalgam filling/back tooth broke off when I was eating, which I swallowed. It hasn’t been causing me any pain but I’ve since been scaring myself silly reading about the mercury leaking out of fillings, even more so because I swallowed some and that the rest of the filling now is more vulnerable I’m worried little bits are coming off it. I also have a huge dental phobia but have managed to get an appointment to check things on Tuesday.

It feels like just another thing to worry about. I’m currently 19 weeks.
