I have just returned from the dentist and had a question for someone in regard to fillings.
The visit was absolutely awful but I won't go into details!
Last week I had 3 fillings done by a student dentist...after scraping and drilling and filling the hole she used a blue ultra violet light to set the filling...which I thought they always do... then she polished the filling to ensure it was smooth.
Today the student dentist (a different one) did 1 filling....put the filling stuff in... did a bit of scraping and then it was finished.... no ultra violet light to set it?... no polishing to smooth it off?... and she filled it with the brightest white stuff unlike the offwhite the previous student dentist used.
All of the fillings were in the front of bottom teeth near the gumline... same type of decay... why such different methods?
Did she forget the ultra-violet light thingy???
